So here is a sketch of a new kind of level I had the idea of making for a while and finally got to tackling. I was kinda intimidated about using a half 2d , half 3d approach like you see here, but also it seemed like and interesting effect and it opens all sorts of possibilities for different puzzles I could make with these. I though about doing entirely 2d isometric levels, but I liked the idea of being able to move the sprites around and to rotate the entire perspective like you see above. If it's possible to do in 2d at all than it would be a real pain to code and way beyond my skill.  

This seems to be more or less working like I wanted it to do, but I had to employ some weird integration nonsense to make this work. For example, you aren't seeing this whole tileset from above the ground ( which would be easier to do if the sprites didn't move vertically), the camera is actually completely flat and looking from a strict birds point of view. I had to do that because otherwise the colliders would intersect whenever I try to move any of the sprites up or down and that just doesn't work at all. Kinda hard to explain what I mean without showing in engine examples, but all the ways I could find of making something like this use some goofy workarounds. Oh well, as long as it works. Hope I don't put myself in the situation where I have to make several versions of the same thing like I did when I had to code three slightly different versions of the same dialog window for different levels because I had no idea what I was doing, haha.

And the game is this is for is called Human Upgrade Labs and I already have a good chunk of it fully playable.

Finger-painting on my phone.

I’m pretty new here but I’m always down for a Sketch thread. Here’s my most recent sketches 

Working on trying to nail a particular vibe in my head. Still not quite hitting it, but I’ll keep trying…

So here's a sketch for a little experiment painting I'm making for my puzzle game.

Usually in painting it's all about the shading, the values( darkness/lightness of colors). I decided to say screw it and to see if i can paint something using exactly the same value for each color. If you turn off the saturation for this psychedelic mountain thing sketch it looks like a flat gray image and nothing is discernible. Should be an interesting challenge.

Did some silly sketches that people on Twitter wanted me to do

Here's a sketch of a character thing i want to paint. A bit inspired by those creepy Victorian baby pictures where a mother would creepily sit there or try to hide, sometimes under a tablecloth, because the picture took too long to just leave the child on a chair by itself.

Some simple sketches over the last few weeks 

Ah nice to see this thread rise up again!

Dumb doodle of a vaguely Pringles Can gentleman. 

Some monster sketches. I actually already painted the final versions of some of these I liked.
