Muh tail is broked!

4:30 AM, I’m calling it a night, even though it’s technically a morning. More than a little disappointed at the theme. I’ll leave it at that. Spent probably an hour and a half trying to come up with something that I felt was worth pursuing and still somewhat fit the theme. One of the creatures from my endless supply of game plans happened to be extremely “minimal” in design. So… I decided to create a game based around taking care of them in a sort of virtual-pet way. Realized very quickly that I’d be doing a LOT of sprite work if I was going to do all the animations for different things. (Something I’m awful at) Instead, I started breaking these guys up into pieces and animating them programmatically. Still a lot I’d like to do with the animation, but I think I’m at a good spot to take a break now and get some sleep. For anyone who cares, this is a “Hubu”, and the rather chopped up thing sticking out of it’s shoulder is a tail, which they use to manipulate things, although not very effectively. They are essentially inspired by baby rabbits and probably Totoros.
