update time!!!
it's been a couple of rough days of circling around and around until i figure a small thing so progress feels slow at times - but i don't think it's that slow. the biggest success - i found a way for characters to follow a path in 2d in unity!!!! (thank you to youcontributegames.com's pathmovement system - the code is pretty clean and commented well and it's intuitive and easy and i'm just so happy lol).
here's a fancy gif of it in action:
okay so this may seem like i have nothing, but this find is going to make a chunk of the game a lot easier to work with. and those assets right there? i had to adjust from the watercolor ground assets i was previously making, so i'm making a compromise - the ground itself will be done in vector-based software so that's all smooth in the finish, but the details will be watercolor cut-outs. for now, these act as pretty placeholders just in case i don't get them all done. but i have a lot more to do on that end.
here they are close up and personal:
OKAY now i need some help from ya'll!!!
please reply to this with the ways - big or small, bad or good - your mother has influenced you
(i'm trying to get at the different experiences of a mother-child relationship, where the child is someone of a marginalized gender or sex)
thank you xx
