I think she has so much potential and it's so sad that she's so damn boring. I've thought this ever since seriously getting into Overwatch sometime last year.
(Side note: I actually still really like Mercy and think its fun using her flight and rez abilities. She is just missing that secret sauce)
It honestly pisses me off that to be a good mercy player you literally CAN'T contribute any damage and you are either healing or damage boosting someone else. To me she might as well not even have a weapon because it's mostly there for decoration.
I think Mercy would be a million times more fun if her primary fire was her gun. Then her secondary fire can be her staff which she can switch between healing and damage boosting instead of how it is currently where she switches between her gun and staff.
I saw a YT short recently about changes #Overwatch was planning to make and the #Mercy rework really caught my eye. I've had some thoughts about this for a while because I feel like I've come up with the perfect solution.
To make this character model I've been following this awesome character modeling series by Alex Cheparev called "Easy 3D Character Modeling in Maya". This has been unbelievably helpful and I recommend this to anyone who is newbie at modeling and using Maya.

I've been underground working hard on my individual game project for one of my classes ;---;
Anyway, here is a character model that I think I have spent way too much time on. This is going to be the player in my game.

Even though I didn't make a submission for the Frogger Horror game jam I did still work on some sprites! Let me know what you think!

I'll try to update you guys on the projects I've been working on when I can. I'm still pretty busy though ;-;
Unfortunately, I didn't get to participate as I had planned 😅 I was flooded with projects for my game development classes that required my full attention and the same goes for my fellow co-hosts.
I was really looking forward to making a game based off of the theme, so I'm pretty bummed out.
Hey everyone! I totally forgot to update you guys on the #CursedCodeGameGameJam. There weren't many participants this time and we only got 2 submissions. Only one of those games is playable, so I guess the winner is Frog Town by petpolitics: petpolitics.itch.io/frog-town

I finally have more Maya stuff to share!
Making this axe has been really aggravating. Every step of the way I've come across another reason why I have to completely restart. Maya just comes up with new ways to fuck up my model without me knowing 👹

Pixel art illustration of a redrawn depiction of the Orange Ocean World 6 Stage 5 level (W6S5A) from the NES game Kirby's Adventure, for the Retro Redraw Kirby collab using the NES colour palette. The level features snowy, frosted platforms in the mid and foreground, a waddle is floating upside down and frozen in an ice block in water below these platforms. Kirby has the "Freeze" ability active and is fighting the snowman enemy, Chilly, in front of an igloo with mountains in the background. The UI at the bottom of the screen is half covered with ice and has the text "Kirby" followed by 6 hearts, the text "Score" followed by the numbers "0657334", a simplified icon of kirby with the numbers "x03" and a larger illustration of Kirby wearing a hat with a pompom as he peaks over the UI, there is a penguin the left and the text "FREEZE" to the right".
POYO! it's Kirby 💙💖

The sculpting was interesting, I unintentionally created a uncanny scary human face that turned more intentional towards the end. The retopologizing a I used a model provided by my professor and I actually had a lot more fun than I thought I would.
Another Maya update. I've learned sculpting and retopologizing!

I just realized I read the amount of submissions wrong. There were actually 19!
Some were disqualified for not being related to the theme or for being started far before the game jams start date (this just means they can’t be rated).

I'm hoping it will get easier the more game jams I participate in 😔
I spent a lot of my time trying to get the movement to work. In fact I spent most of my time trying to fix the movement only to find out that the whole time I had the script unchecked in Unity so it wasn't even being used. I'm really kicking myself because of that ;-;
Right now there is only some basic left and right movement with no animations. There are no interactables aside from clicking to get through the text. I made a dialogue box with panel object, but it scales kind of wonky for different screen sizes and I don't really know how to fix it.

I was so busy I didn't get the chance to make any updates. This will be my one and only dev log for the game jam since it ends tonight. Unfortunately I didn't utilize the full week to make my project, so there isn't much to it.

Harnessing the awesome power of leaves is harder than it looks. A lot of iterations of leaf shield trying to land on one I liked. Flip side, painting on the alpha channel to give it that little bit of wood texture was very satisfying 🤖🌳

Are you ready? Cuz I definitely am. No clue what I'm gonna do, but I'm super excited!
If you're seeing this for the first time and are interested, it's not too late to join.

Dude I wish I could just use Blender, but oh well. I guess going through the trials and tribulations that Maya throws my way is an important industry standard 🤡

I'm learning Maya in one of my classes and it's so damn difficult. Sometimes it bugs out and I have to restart which sets me back a lot.
Today we were doing a demo of topology and making a face using planes (I was behind the whole time) 😔

It's been 1 year since we released the Shroom and Gloom prototype!🎉
Created over 3 months, the prototype was created to asses the viability of turning Shroom and Gloom into a full game.
Here's how it turned out, alongside the OG jam game made in 10 days:

This looks incredible! I like the colors you chose a lot and the way it really pops. How did you learn to make good pixel art?
