Can you really not attach more than one video per post? Boo!

Ivan Khoroshev@khorrorshow· 7h

Tried turning some of my drawings into tiny vertical videos to see how well they perform organically on Instagram. I like how much juice you can squeeze from more or less a single PNG with some minor flashy edits. I think the emergent vibe so far is «ad bumpers you swear you saw on tv at 4 AM».

Thanks! Doing what I love most: subjecting drawings to strange Substance Designer experiments.

Meanwhile, at The Church of Cat.

Sorry there hasn't been much in terms of art recently. I'm pretty consistent about picking up a stylus these days, but most of it is either for bigger unannounced things or just me scribbling absent-minded doodles for fun.

Went to do a little exploring yesterday. Really wish I didn't forget to charge my camera flash though.

Up on Friday night stacking concrete blocks.

All my ideas just end up being Mallory again, don't they? Well, technically not true, I have at least one prototype where you shoot a gun.

An update on this thing: after making a couple more environments this way I realized that I don't really enjoy the slow, overengineered pipeline I've built. And also I ended up adding the lights engine-side anyway for better character shading, so what is even the huge win anymore? 🤷

They're late for lowpoly FPS crawler enemy archetype school.

I hope they're not an invasive species.

Connected.

Digital drawing of a lone anthropomorphic creature with short white fur and sharp ears sitting on a damp stone floor, possibly in a cave. There's a strange unidentified device sitting in front of the creature. It has a few knobs, a red light and a speaker, and it's connected by wire to something off-frame. A half-full bowl of clean water stands within arm's reach of the creature. The creature looks tired, but unharmed. A loose bunch of wires stick out of its neck and upper back. Red lights shine from the darkness in the background. A large arcane-looking symbol resembling connections of a circuit board is overlayed over the entire picture.

Me every six months: Okay, but what if I added outlines to my game for no good reason whatsoever.

Overexposed.

An anthropomorphic figure with cat-like ears, white skin and short black hair sits alone on a mattress in what appears to be a dark basement. They're dressed very casually, in a light-colored t-shirt, a pair of shorts and slippers. There are multiple active studio lights pointed at the figure, and we see a web of wires descending from them onto the dusty floor. All lights eventually connect to the power strip lying on the ground in the bottom left of the picture. The figure wears a tired, vacant expression and holds a Bluetooth remote in their right hand.

That's a good stopping point, I think. Maybe just a couple more rooms and it'll be about the size/complexity I imagined for an average level. It's really fun to build stuff once you already have all the necessary lego pieces in the content browser, I should do this more often.

It's shaping up nicely. The signs really tied it together. I don't want to use English or anything too common for signage, so I'm utilizing constructed languages instead. At least ones with an online translator. For the underpass it was Interslavic, but I thought Esperanto would fit here more.

It appears that the pet project for this vacation is a new area for my slowly-made first-person exploration game. Which I should title. This level's inspired by exposed ground floors of apartment buildings I see around the city. There's just something so eerie about them to me, especially at night.

Even more art tests. This one is for the point-and-click game idea I keep meaning to flesh out a bit. Played around with baked lighting this time. These are 3D, in-engine and almost entirely procedurally textured. Didn't have to lay down a single brushstroke. Kind of excited about this workflow.

Test character for a thing. I've never been able to crack the code on crunchy pixelated textures, they never look quite like I want them to. Even with the amazing Pixel8r tool that basically does all the work for me. PSX devs make it look so easy!
