My desktop finally arrived about a week ago -- an Alienware Aurora R8! Unfortunately I wasn't able to spend much time with it as I had to work 12 hour days for a good stretch. But now that another weekend has arrived, I got it configured to my workflow and liking and have started working on Scrapship again!
As I type, my Mac Mini is busy rendering a background scene for the full version of Scrapship. About one and a half hours to go! It's a giant scene -- about 1000 x 3000 pixels -- so it's going to take a while.
During this in-between time, I have been learning lots more about Blender and recently used my latest knowledge to make this new titlescreen text:
I imported my desired font into Blender and then used the Text Extrude feature to give the letters a 3D look!
Finally, a preemptive Q&A:
Q: Will I be posting daily Devlogs here on Itch.io?
A: Probably not. Most of the work at this stage is going to be coding which doesn't translate well into devlog material (in my opinion). If you feel differently just let me know! In the meantime, feel free to check out my daily updates on Instagram (@40wattstudio) or my website https://www.40wattstudio.com/.
Q: When will the next Scrapship demo come out?
A: Late-August.
Thanks for reading and I'll see you next post!
