ThinkGeek made this official fashion line available, featuring familiar motifs from Breath of the Wild!!  I think these are AWESOME!!  Some of them are kind of subtle, so you can wear them casually without it being suuuper obvious that you’re wearing something geeky (handy in some situations).  Of course, the overtly geeky stuff is awesome fun, too!

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sheikah Ladies’ Jacket

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Hylian Ladies’ Knitted Poncho Wrap

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Hylian Shield Ladies’ Knitted Poncho Wrap

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Divine Beasts Ladies’ Tee

These!!!  Are!!!  RAD!!!!!!  My fave of these four pieces is the blue shawl, which reminds me of Zelda’s blue, bell-sleeved dress~  The grey poncho is also really cool – its design is based on the Hylian Shield!

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Link Coat

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Link’s Arm Guard Sweater Hoodie

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Divine Beasts T-Shirt

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Link’s Tunic Sweater

Cool!!  The coat is another subtle one, but my favorite thing of these four is the light green cardigan sweater.  It reminds me a bit of Link’s starting out tunic, but the designs on it actually match the undershirt you see under the Champion’s tunic, and those Gerudo-motif arm designs are on there too!

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Mipha’s Beanie

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Backpack

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Revali Hooded Scarf

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Daruk Beanie Cap

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Urbosa Chiffon Scarf

!!! CHAMPION STUFF!!!  This is the first time I’ve ever seen official merchandise for the Four Champions.  Which is awesome, because NOW I CAN WEAR A SCARF LIKE URBOSA!!  Seriously, everything listed here is cool.  The Mipha beanie is so cute (and perf for fans of Sidon, too!), and the Revali hat with long scarf tails is so cool!!  I thought the Daruk thing was just a headband but it’s actually a beanie (the top is whitish grey).  When I realized that, it made me think of the black-headband-with-white-cap-on-top that the male Pokemon trainer from Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald wears, lol?!?

A fair amount was accomplished this month, amazingly even with the fact that I was away from home for a week and enjoying the BEEAAACH!! ☀️🏖️🕶️

It was a really, really good month for art!!

• The movement functions for the player were polished up a bit with a glowy animated “walk target” that appears where the player clicks.  Once the heroine character steps on it, it disappears in a poof of light particles! ✨
• Some very rough sketches were laid down for the actual, playable map.  View the whole thing + some insights into how collisions are placed on a hand-drawn map in the Map Re-Drawing Begun post!
• I made some new brushes by hand in order to make drawing grass and flowers much easier!!  See them, in addition to some greenery being placed on the background, in Painting Some Sick Grass.  Bonus footage of cute poofy clouds from a chimney!
• New Art for the Player Character was done!!  We have a heroine, folks!!
• And finally, :O! A Friend!, shows an NPC character who will be present in the playable build.  We are reaching ever closer to its availability!

🌼 Onward into September!! 🌼

Recently when I was in Toys R Us, I was amazed to see so many Zelda toys there!!  It is certainly easier for collectors and young folks nowadays to collect things from their favorite games~

I just remember that when I was a kid, it was unlikely to see anything other than a select few action figures that were more like collector’s items. 😭

But anyway!!  Here is a whole feature for Breath of the Wild accessories you can get either from Toys R Us or Tokyo Otaku Mode to round out the post with neat merchandise and collectible stuff~

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Traveler’s Bow & Arrows

This was what I saw in Toys R Us that really amazed me!!

It is time, my dudes, for yet another game list.

The Myths of the World series is one of the earliest point-and-click
puzzle adventure games I ever checked out!

The stories and settings of these are EXTREMELY cool,
each one inspired by a different culture’s magic, mysticism, and folklore.
A recurring theme in the series is some kind of additional
crafting or puzzle mechanic… I’m not really sure how to explain,
but the first one has an alchemy + magic system,
and each other game has something like that, too,
in addition to your usual adventuring and puzzle-solving.

Give these awesome and artful games a look,
and remember that if you’re interested in playing,
you can click on any of these to be brought to the download page!

Heya!  Although it’s not quite the end of the month yet, I wanted to make this round-up post before July actually ended, because of the time-sensitive bonus that is only relevant before July 31st~

Here is what I have been up to in only the few weeks it has been since diving full-force into creating games!!:

• The screenshot above shows my most recent update.  If you view the post itself, the screenshot is actually animated, and shows the scene in action!!  There are a whole bunch of colorful little animated icons that serve to show what emotions the character is speaking in a cute and interactive way~
• In just yesterday’s post, I had most of the icons drawn but not animated yet!
• From Sketch to Screenshot – This post details how rough and messy my work-in-progress sketches are, where I rough out how I want the UI to look and even scribble incredibly silly placeholder characters LOL.  It’s available to view side-by-side with the finished version of the same screen, just to see the difference!
• Playing with Particles: Glowy Lights & Fireflies – Fireflies always look so magical in games!  This post, which also has an animated demonstration, shows off how I create pretty, soft, and glowing lights for background detail.
• Dialog Boxes & Typewriter Text – Another animated demonstration, this time showing the dynamic message boxes and text that appears within them.  It’s a minor effect, but one that is massively engaging for the player!  There is also a sneak peek at some actual code in this post.
• Animating Game Characters – This post, which includes an animated demonstration AND a look at the code behind it, shows how I get my art work to move around and look alive in a game.
• Drawing a Game Character – Finally, this post, which is visible for everyone so that they may get a glimpse at what kind of content is available in the rest of the feed, provides an example of how my art work grows from placeholder characters to full-color designs for the final form of the project. 🌟

There are actually a couple of other progress update posts that I didn’t even list just now – you’ll have to check the activity feed over on Patreon to see the rest!

If you’re interested in watching these projects come to life, as well as playing demonstrations as soon as playable builds are available, you’ll need to become a Patron!  Please consider doing so – it is a small investment that is non-figuratively life-changing for me, allowing me to pursue this and create cute and positive games as I have always dreamed of doing.

AND!!!  If I reach my first goal of $150 before July ends, I’ll be able to put those earnings toward upgrading my Game Maker license to allow finished games to be available for Mac and Ubuntu users as well as PC, in addition to being able to make browser-based games that do not require downloading at all and would be available to play freely~!
