Hey everyone, I’m here with a Work-In-Progress…. Friday?! That’s a new one! Long story short, life threw a few different things at me this week and as a result I’m still working on the explosions pack. So today’s going to be a WIP check-in day!
Upcoming Explosions Pack
The explosions pack is coming along well. I don’t want to rush it, because I actually want to really study and learn what makes these explosions tick. Above is a work-in-progress explosion which has the smoke puff and a shockwave, but needs some extra particles to tie it all together. This explosion is larger in frame 2 than it is in frame 3, after which it expands normally. That gives it a “punchy” feeling.
GUI Work

I’ve been adjusting and improving my export process for the GUI packs to handle some new elements, such as scrollbars! Each GUI pack going forward will include horizontal and vertical scrollbars, which can be extended to any width or height respectively. At some future date I’ll also add scrollbars to the GUI packs that have already been released. More additional UI parts are in the works…
Above is a sneak peek of the next upcoming GUI pack: “Royal Crown.” This pack features a very ornate gilded motif, and the decorated window is designed to resemble a crown at the top. I’m looking forward to releasing it soon!
Zephyr Time!
Above: Me and Zephyr in springtime! She saw flowers for the very first time.
Zephyr is doing well! She’s high-spirited and full of puppy energy. She’s suuuuper teething right now though, which means everything is a chew toy. Unfortunately, that also includes my shoes, ankles, and pants when we’re out for walks! I think she’ll grow out of it. She lost at least four puppy teeth this past week, and you can see the new ones coming in. Hope they’re not as sharp as the puppy ones, haha!

Busy month so far, but looking forward to filling the rest of it with awesome pixel art. See you soon, and happy Spring!
