hi im xax. i code and write monster porn, not necessarily in that order. also at http://xax.dreamwidth.org + http://xax.itch.io + http://archiveofourown.org/users/xax
i have like a billion plant and building sprites drawn that i've never used b/c i haven't been able to think about how to actually lay them out as a coherent structure in the world yet. but i should probably do that soon, if only to make the game world look a little less flat and empty and repetitive
i finally started working on this again and made another big step towards removing all the hardcoded spritesheet information. one day all of these will be data files and separate images instead of premade atlases
in the mean time though i accidentally turned all the pc sprite slices into 255-frame animations that just slowly cycled through a whole sprite sheet
(the idea here is some kinda mashup of horticular, block'hood, and terra nil. some kinda 'gardening' sim with more of an emphasis on the sim vs. precisely arranging specific items)
anyway i posted the first two chapters of voidgate hunter on ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/78171901 (it's porn)
i've been wanting to work a little more in the realm of Game Design vs. graphics & ui programming so the current thing i'm working on is a very rough mechanics demo for a theoretical game. everything is just a square b/c that's very easy to render. it's definitely a different vibe than all the fancy paletted pixel art stuff
i've got all these original fiction wips i've been struggling to work on enough to get any of them postable, but here's the first ~3k words of one of them http://tzaphiriron.sidemoon.net/static/misc/galactic.txt it's "original fiction" but really it's "hey did anybody else think the falling star beasts from elden ring were hot??"
(anyway it's gay monster porn)
decided i wasn't gonna try for clouds so i guess it's done! https://xax.itch.io/procgen-landscape #procjam
