i want to create an angel of death halo for tdl so hey. Yea they match cause im unwell. Anyways

chosen’s halo at the back of his head like a haunting presence always at the back of his mind. Spiky and red . Stabbing inside the halo itself (does it hurt? Does it hurt chosen? Does it dug inside him like the spikes on the halo, tearing him apart later on?) and hostile toward others that might approach it like. Some stick.

Dark’s halo surrounds him, dripping with a black and murky of the sins he committed. He wears it like crown of pride. Its sticky and leaves a stain on you, constantly reminding dark that hes always connected to a certain other stick, that no matter how much he can change his views on matter, its undeniable what he did was directly due to tagt stick, and it will leave a mark on him forever.

I used to button through the Andor theme and then I realized they change it for every episode just a little bit and now I have to rewatch the series just for the themes...

Since the last update, work has slowly been proceeding to bring to perfection the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply--ok enough turbo-encabulator bs. Let's get to the changes.

This video shows a few new features. Watch with headphones.

@msasterisk re-did car physics. Previously cars rode on single points, and so they tended to ride fairly roughly. On the very curved tracks in some levels, or in places where the tracks didn't line up exactly, cars would jerk around and sometimes even break their couplers. Now the motion is significantly smoother.

Fun fact: According to MsAsterisk, implementing it this way was actually easier than using a single point.

This change also brings with it two other improvements.

Switch stands will no longer throw if a car is on top of it. Currently only the end of the points (where the lever is) is tracked, but this will eventually be made less forgiving, which will make it harder to perform 'Flying Switch'/'Dutch Drop' and car kicking maneuvers. Not impossible, but enough that it should be able to be constrained in level design. This does mean we have to go through and alter some siding capacities to account for the less forgiving switches.

Sounds! Since each car now has two trucks, and each truck can have multiple axles, cars will make clickity-clack sounds as they run over switches. We considered making them clack regularly (with the rail joints), but since we are hearing the entire screen and not just a single point of view, the constant clacking got confusing. This way the clacking is restricted to when the cars actually cross a border that is meaningful to gameplay, which makes it an auditory aid.

In addition, the game's sound effects are now spatial! The effect is fairly subtle, but it's there. If you didn't already notice it, go rewatch the video above. Sound effects on the left side of the screen will sound like they're to the viewer's left, etc.

Cars and locomotives now also make a low rumbling and clanking noise when in motion.

These changes make the game sound more dynamic and real.

In the video above, you can see the camera moving. The behavior shown in the video didn't really work that great since the camera would move when the mouse was near the screen border... but there's u.i. elements there, and it would even do so when tabbed away.

However, while I sit here writing this post, MsAsterisk remains hard at work, and now there's already a fix for this--the camera now moves with the arrow keys and with right click dragging. To-Do: add borders to the camera's motion, and zooming in and out.

Here, i've reduced the screen width (more than you'd ever do in normal play) to demonstrate the extreme case. The camera can move, and the sound effects also change their position relative to the camera as you do so (which is why I move the camera back and forth several times).

In the second video you can also see the new "Turnout Hell" level I put together, based on a layout I found online called the "Short Long Way Around," a dense 'shelf switcher'. Can you find the runaround loop in that mess?

We also have a new menu, freeing up some screen space. Included is the settings menu (TBD), the level reset button, and the level select button.

We have pretty big goals for the next stable main version, and they'll take a while to complete, and it'll be even longer before the actual game can be released.

Also, at some point I'm gonna need to start pulling my weight around here and work on more art assets, including changes to existing cars and new scenery structures. I've been using a lot of 'we' in this post, but I can't stress enough that nearly all of the work showcased here, from the sound design to the programming, was done by the excellent MsAsterisk.

(OLD OC SKETCHES) Meet Sunnabelle Von Sunnoviche, final daughter of the Sunnoviche family. Peeking from behind a window, she witnessed a wizards final spell, one that reduced the world to a wasteland. Her noble blood damned her to [HELL], but unwanting to suffer with her family, she made a deal with the devil. She now hunts in his name. The top of her head was taken by the blast on that day. The fires of her spirit have boiled her blood into a super-heated plasma.

A chilly Thawfest season sketch of Siri @artinandwritin !!

This is the only idea so far that I could clean up enough to post + that feels sufficiently Siri to me. Inspired by the cozy coat I see her in a lot but with springtime elements based on her adorable flower hairstyle, it’s a bit fancy thanks to the embroidery but too cute to resist. Her earrings are also meant to match Astrid’s in my chieftess sketch and I think they’d probably be stamped with some sort of subtle nadder design since the cousins have that in common

In otwd/itpn she’s about 35 and works with Ruffnut as a midwife, along as just a general assistant to Ruff whenever she needs a hand with any healer stuff. This def isn’t how she dresses while working haha but perfect for perusing the market w Astrid or Ruff on a brisk spring day ❤️

I really like Greaseball’s Gang as a concept because of how diesel locomotives usually work in packs irl and the studs and black is SO train and so hard rock/metal simultaneously. I just hate how they had that flag for years, I think a skull and railroad crossing sign crossbones would be so much more appropriate. In my mind they have the vibe of the ridiculously metal Billups Neon Crossing Signal
