Working together with @LevelXProject on a game for #StrawberryJam2 ! It's going to be a first-person platform/puzzle game: You play a shrinking scientist โ€“ your goal is to quickly put together an antidote, as your dwindling size transforms the level around you.

Changelog: - Increased ferret slinkiness - Added "Boo!" animation - Level now with textures The level is only using two small, tileable textures, with vertex colors for gradients, color variations and fake shadows โ€“ which I think is how the original game did it, probably!

Picked up a little, cathartic project I've started a while ago, and felt like playing around with a bunch of animations I got from the asset store for cheap. I will never learn how to properly set up Animators, but this is a surprisingly good start.

Game development comes with unique challenges that require creative solutions! Due to strict file size limitations I have decided to rebuild the city at a more manageable 1/144 scale. All made possible by Shrynx Laboratories and state-of-the-art macro photography!

Only some polishing, this evening.. For the most part I'm just really happy I got the title's particle effect working! Also made minor tweaks to the hit counter animation, to increase juiciness. If everything goes well, I can maybe start with SFX/BGM, at the end of the week!

Just to clarify, I don't have strong feelings about people labeling Pawperty Damage a "fetish game". I don't think of it that way, personally, but of course I can see why folks would come to that conclusionโ€”it's not like I didn't know what I was doing, haha
