The question you need to ask yourself is whether you want the slow, creeping desperation of something like This war of mine /zomboid or the second…
So being an artist I was thinking a dress up style game would be something interesting to fine tune my character and accessory skills. I was wondering about the clothing for this. I would be workin with another programmer but what would I have to do as the artist to make the clothes "fit". Meaning im sure clipping between…
