Today's Based Gooeys lore post is about the Grumpy Stump!

Grumpy Stumps are tree stumps that have come to life from the energy flows found within the Shimmering Fields. Like Wily Wisps, Grumpy Stumps are possessed by an inner spirit.

Grumpy Stumps are easily annoyed by intruders who encroach into their territory or steal their precious mushrooms. This is problematic for foraging Gooeys, who often find delicious fungi covering a stump and try to harvest them, unaware that the stump is alive--and very grumpy!

Grumpy Stumps tend to be fierce creatures. Territorial by nature, they often give up chase once you leave their turf.

Check out some concept artwork from our upcoming @base title, Based Gooeys! 🔥👀

Apart from development, a lot of time is often spent on artwork and assets, perhaps even moreso than on the actual code! 

A game is nothing without a rich and beautiful environment full of life and characters.

Six Word Story

allotment

Was a nice but cold day, so while our daughter fell asleep in the pram after a playground session, we hit up the /allotment. 

Preparing for the spring bonfire/incineration in a few weeks by cutting up some larger branches, weeding, and turning some soil on our plot.

Tulips are coming up, which is always a promising sign of spring around the corner!

So much to do, and so little time--as always.

Have you been to your plots lately, frenpai?

Sun Microsystems, SPARCstation & Sun 3 families (1989)

I really loved the SPARCstation. Rock solid hardware, really loud though. Ran one in my home up until around 2013 or so. Cherished memories.

Outward silence isn't my inner silence. 🤐
