Watching a ton of Rube Goldberg machines lately for simple mechanical interaction inspo. This is how I plan to do boost pads in the game, which I feel makes an abstract game concept into something tangible and literally impactful. There’s an endless well to draw from with these sorts of simple physics interactions. It’s not a “physics game” physics game, but it’s definitely a physics game in its own way #gamedev

@Hypnagogist beautiful drawing. is that ballpoint?

[hypnagogist@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva thanks! Yep, ballpoint pen is my favorite drawing implement for sketching. It lets me get ideas down quickly and I can just kinda feel out how rendered I want things

@Hypnagogist awesome :D that is my preference as well. I recently switched back to ballpoint-and-sketchbook after using an e-ink tablet for a year or three and it's an interesting adjustment. Anyways you have a very well practiced hand :)

@aeva I’ve always been tempted by an e-ink tablet, they look really cool! I always find myself bouncing off drawing on a screen, but I’d like to try one
