Toy design has been an interesting new side hobby Toy design has been an interesting new side hobby of mine! Here's a demo of a truck concept that has fully detachable wheels which can be disassembled and swapped out for new ones.

The Bambu Lab P1P is lifechanging.

Been too long since I posted. Check this out! Last Been too long since I posted. Check this out! Last month, I participated in the Game Off 2022 game jam hosted on Itch.io. While only a single level, I still put a crazy amount of work into it. In this game, the classic fixed-camera survival horror genre is flipped on its head, as you instead play as one of the infected, attempting to flee the deadly kill squads sent in to clean up.

You can find the submission if you're so inclined to play by visiting this link -> https://zach-kolman.itch.io/orders-purge-all-infected

It's a web player, so no need to install anything!

#wip of my current game jam project! The gameplay #wip of my current game jam project! The gameplay you're seeing now is: 
-The ability to draw a lantern
-The ability to perform a flash stun attack with the lantern
-The ability to raise your 'camera'

The gameplay is going to consist of first stripping the enemies of their bodies with the lantern flash, and then taking a picture of their heart once it has been exposed. With a whopping 22 days left in the jam period, I think I'm making good progress!

Another side project I’ve been working on! The Another side project I’ve been working on!

The #onepiece trading card game starter decks are coming out in just a few weeks now, and I’ve been experimenting with making leader proxy art.

Making designs like this is fun, trying to figure out different ways to make the card feel unique but still function as intended.

I chose to go with a wanted poster theme on this one, since the actual cards designs are a lot more sleek and simple, and I think this feels tonally different.

One of my favorite landscapes from the challenge I One of my favorite landscapes from the challenge I took last month to do a landscape every day. This one is based on the lore carcosa cosa, a fictional city by the writer Ambrose Bierce, from his short story "An Inhabitant of Carcosa".

I was surprised when I finally learned of Carcosa, because I started noticing its themes in a LOT of other places. It's always interesting to learn of a piece of work that while largely went under the radar, still influenced an incredibly broad number of creators.

In case you're interested in a late night rabbit hole... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcosa
