Bunk is #TheGardenPath's master brewer. Bring her any combination of herbs and spices and she'll be sure to bring out their best qualities over a rolling boil.
I've been developing 'The Garden Path' in #GodotEngine for the last three years, and I think things are really starting to take shape.
Here's a new teaser for things to come.
In this week's report, I look at designing short-term goal systems to help guide gameplay.

There's something wonderfully profound about a game I made to question existence being played by someone adopting the role of someone that exists only digitally. It's a whole other layer I would never have considered.
Not what I was expecting to wake up to but I'm absolutely loving it.

My thoughts on using Bandcamp over conventional streaming services.

Had another go at the waterfalls in my game. I couldn't get anything tile-based to look good enough, and last time, particles weren't performant enough.
Today I realised that if I make the particles *really big*, I can get away with way fewer of them while still keeping the flow visually dense.

No stream tonight, will be back next week.
Take care out there!
Some recently published artworks I did for Bird on a Moon, a project encouraging girls to persue a curiosity in STEM subjects.

I released my big pixel font under the Open Font License! 19k+ characters with full Hangul and good Chinese/Japanese support in addition to a hefty set of European characters.
It's meant for pixel art games to make localisation easier, but you're welcome to use it for anything you like.

Very proud to have Kingdom Ka be a part of Itch.io's already immensely successful Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, alongside so many indie-greats.
