beginning section wasn't as straightforward the blockout has less going on, weren't as many shapes to work with—which made me think about what the shape language is in the first place and figure out how to introduce those elements think I'm landing on a good approach here
haven't had any time! but next step is to draw over shots like this to flesh out the environment I feel pretty confident about the platforming concept. Saw someone post gameplay that confirmed core ideas

updated build, link in the repost below swapped out wheel colliders for a custom raycast thing as a number of folks recommended. I think I like it, I can see how I can get the control I want. Pretty bouncy right now but fun to drive around also colors and an island and pretty
oldmanofthefire@oldmanofthefire.bsky.social · last mo.wanted something simple, silly to work on to take my mind off things. Making a modular toy car thing. Idea is you can find and swap out various parts want to get in the habit of just posting builds of what I'm making, so here it is. It's not good, not yet oldmanofthefire.itch.io/little-vehic...

My dad died last Sunday. He had a debilitating stroke 5 years prior. Navigating that event and the past 5 years has been easily the hardest thing I've ever done. I didn't think I'd post about it, but I value being candid about feelings, even in public. More thoughts below.
additional context here that's maybe interesting I've made a few combat prototypes before but never been totally satisfied with them. This concept sits on top of those, is meant to really get at the thing I want first real prototype was in Dark Thicket (more in thread)
