Here's Devlog 04! I was limited in my ability to work on Cuddle Kobold! for a bit, but the gears are turning again.

I'd like a little longer to make a bit more progress and do some more polishing before the next video, but I thought this birds-eye-view of the Kobold having a little wander around a slightly reconfigured apartment might be fun. Thanks to everyone who's recently signed up, see you soon with a proper DevLog!

I'm very tempted to include this as a goof in the next DevLog, if I can wrangle or animate a good loop and find some copyright-safe music...
Hey, sorry for the radio silence. We've had two people sign up since the last update, and a few kind YouTube comments, and I appreciate the interest. I have a lot of things I need to figure out at once before I can get much further, and it overwhelme...

It's time for Devlog #3! The wait is explained in the video, if you haven't been keeping up. But things are back on-track for now!
Since this was a little while coming, I made sure to thank all of the Supporters in the last 2+ months, which are:
Sofox, Commander D, Gart, NitroToxico, Darkdekumon, A. Kitty, Jeffrey Perigo, Dash Winterson, Three Ko...
Second time's the charm? This isn't the full Devlog again, as I want to get a few more things working before I commit that to the "Official" video, but I'm excited to show off some visible progress!
Quick apologies for the Square Video, I wasn't intending to do that, but after a couple early issues getting it to record I forgot to Maximize it this take. Oops!

It's not yet at a point where I think showing a Vlog is useful, especially as I'm trying to fix a bug with AutoHand that keeps the gloves glued to the floor. But I don't feel right going the month without some kind of update, so here's a quick snapshot. The white-and-blue post is a height reference I'm going to use to scale the oversized assets down to match. The Kobold is stark white because I...

I don't want to write this, especially so close to the end of the month, just as much as you likely don't want to read this, but full disclosure because you all are graciously supporting me.
I was trying out a new Beta version of Auto Hand to see if I'd like...

Not really Devlog 3, but I found myself writing "I wish I had a video for you today", then my brain said "...So record a video then!"
Not terribly much in the way of changes, primarily a different skybox, adjustments to the lighting and shadow map quality, and some physics weights. Without getting in-depth about personal stuff I know you're not here for, been dealing with some personal ph...

Here's Devlog #02! The audio is a little bad, because it turns out shouting across the room to your desktop mic doesn't provide ideal audio. I have some ideas how to sort that out, but hopefully this is still listenable in the meantime.
This video covers a few topics:
Bit of an off-topic question, but Patreon keeps suggesting that I welcome new pledgers with a personalized direct message. I have mixed opinions of it, so I figured I'd ask you all. Do you like to be personally greeted when you sign up for a Patreon?
There is no "Don't care" option, as I need clearer data to work with. If you truly don't care, you're likely a "Yes", but if you don't care ...

2021-04-21 18:23:28 +0000 UTC View PostQuickly, I thought I'd outline some plans for handling updates going forward. The main reason for this is to set expectations, and avoid erratic updates, as I'm prone to do. It takes time to record and push out even a raw video, especially one I'm content with (the last one took 7-8 takes for ultimately a 50 second video), let alone something more polished. Also, I'm likely to getting excited a...

2021-04-08 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHello there! It's been a short while, but not for lack of trying. I vetoed both the December and January updates after they were written, in part because the former was a little too mopey, and the latter because plans changed last-second. February was a short month, and I originally wrote this update at the beginning of March, but wanted to delay it until the new project teaser was ready, then ...
