I've added an electric chair and a joy drinking statue to The Eldritch Zookeeper! And made a big ol' development video update about it all: youtube.com/watch?v=6GWo-zw3…

Added two new monsters to The Eldritch Zookeeper! youtu.be/1K1yAWoBqu0 (Also flowers, and flower beds, but I think the new monsters are more interesting)

There's now an electrical grid system that this 'plugs' into.

I'm moving from Modo to Blender for all my 3d work. I've been using the Steam Indie version for a few years now - Steam says I have had it launched for 900 hours.

Changing 3d workflows is a huge deal when you're Productive in one tool and need to continue cranking along with a game project as you switch, it's not something I would ordinarily consider.

I'm grateful for Modo, I think it's a great piece of software and you can do some good work with it. But Blender has been in the same place for a few years now, and it's free, and its open-source development seems really steady.
Paid gamedev contract work! Looking for a UI/UX artist who specializes in user experience to help create the look and feel for the in-game menus, dialogue system, decision trees, etc. jonoldblood at gmail .com #gamedevjobs #uidesign #uiux #uiuxdesign

Making these every now and then makes me wonder how video editors manage it. I thought game development tools crash a lot! There was one clip in the middle that would cause a crash to desktop if I even clicked on it. Clearly a cursed clip, too terrible to behold/interact with.

I had radically rebranded The Eldritch Zookeeper and designed a new main character for the game. It's name is Import Error.

I have also removed all the monsters from the game. Import Error is clearly enough.

It's such a difficult choice!
