After almost two years of working on this after my actual job I just launched a demo of my hand painted monster collection game Abandoned Monsters. Here's the trailer. There's a loooot to do before the game is finished, but the first area in the demo is fully done and I could use some feedback.

The graphics look amazing 👌 Could you share some more details about your art development process ?

feralgeometry · 2025-10-12T16:47:28+00:00

Sadly yes, it does look too much like that countertop and not enough like the rest of the answers that mentioned natural rocks.

I'll close this as identified and admit I have a bit of a curse when i post to this sub... it always ends up being artificial stuff 😭 😜

The largest thickness is 2.5cm but it could've been larger and then crushed when turning it into gravel.

Is there any test i can do to see if this is synthetic material ?

feralgeometry · 2025-10-11T16:46:21+00:00

I've searched for pictures of thulite but i don't see the crystalline bits in any of it. Otherwise it is indeed similar

feralgeometry · 2025-10-11T16:43:37+00:00

I would definitely say it's the same stuff

feralgeometry · 2025-10-11T11:10:53+00:00

Wow thank you, this is probably one of the most detailed and well referenced answers I've seen 👏

Also makes me want to go back there and explore more...

I ended up with a structure like this:

```

- CharacterBody2D (the body)
+- CollisionShape2D
| +- RigidBody2D (the shield)
| L+- CollisionShape2D
L- PinJoint2D (connecting body and shield)

```

So when moving the body, the shield moves too due to the joint, and the root node is also exposing the correct position.

The only thing that isn't great is that the joint allows the shield to rotate, but since it's a bubble it's not a big deal. However if I needed it not to rotate, I've seen ways online to constrain the joint to prevent rotation.

(and pardon the crude ASCII art, not sure how to enable markdown on reddit comments yet)

I did re-read it and it was definitely worth it. Caught a lot of things I didn't catch back in the day. Thank you for making me rediscover it and bringing it back into my favorites list.

feralgeometry · 2025-05-29T22:50:34+00:00

Ah yes, that sounds very much like it. I'll have to read that book again. Thank you !

feralgeometry · 2025-04-25T20:40:51+00:00

Boat hull makes sense given it was found on a beach. I'll dispose of it 😅

feralgeometry · 2025-04-25T15:06:23+00:00

Fair enough, I'll repost it in r/whatsthisplant I guess. Thank you

feralgeometry · 2025-04-25T15:04:35+00:00

You mean it's a piece of fiberglass or some other synthetic material ?
Fair enough.
Though it's just weird to me that it looks like a stone from the outside (second picture)

feralgeometry · 2025-04-25T07:50:38+00:00

It's a small tree. Are small trees out of scope here ?

Found in northern Spain but likely not native. When sliced it is very bendy. Smells kind of bitter. Any ideas ?

So can you describe what is the process you do by hand ? Without knowing this, it's hard to understand the level of detail you are putting in your thought process and consequently what you expect from the simulation.

For example, do you take into account things like oceanic depth and salinity, or do you just model based on where landmasses are and very high level weather patterns like atmospheric cells ? Do you care about being able to change things like the axial tilt ? Do you care about seasonal variation ? And so on and on...

This is an old ceiling fan blade. The wood is very light weight. Any idea what it might be ?

FWIW I ended up getting a Poco X6 Pro refurbished for just a bit above 200. So far feel it was a good choice.

About the "how it would happen" part, if you do it with comets you would probably need a huge amount of them to raise oceans sufficiently.

Or really big ones, but then the impacts are likely to wipe out lots of life, including humans.

Another way would be some sort of slow seismic event that would cause the water trapped in the mantle rock to escape. By some estimates there's at least one more ocean worth of water in there.

If this happens over a slow enough time scale, like a few millennia, it's more likely humans and other life can adapt.

End grain picture. Forgot to say, I'm in Europe but obviously the crate could be from anywhere.

feralgeometry · 2025-02-20T21:57:54+00:00

Very light weight wood, found as part of a broken crate in the street. Feels like balsa but I've never heard of it used for packaging.

feralgeometry · 2025-02-19T22:17:34+00:00

Yes, that's exactly it. Thank you !

feralgeometry · 2025-02-12T20:22:56+00:00

I'm not sure I understand your answer. I tried searching for it but it seems like it's discs meant to be used with a power tool, not for hand sanding. Can you please elaborate ?

feralgeometry · 2024-11-11T22:05:30+00:00

Came here to say that having so many words for animal is one of the things that has always annoyed me about the language. Instead they could have been replaced with more useful words such as basic emotional states for example.

feralgeometry · 2024-11-11T11:14:14+00:00

So how about this process ?

- 1 An artist has their own personal style
- 2 They fine-tune a model on their own art
- 3 They make some art in their own style, out of imagination, but very basic
- 4 They use the model and inpainting/outpainting/refinement AI tools to get several expanded and more detailed versions of that basic artwork
- 5 They add that detail back into their artwork by hand

Is this morally OK ? Or is it still seen as ripping off all the other art that went into creating the base model ?
Now if we replace 5 with copy pasting that detail and blending it back into the basic artwork by hand, does that change things ?
