Incredibox has quickly become one of my favorite rhythm games. I love the complexity of layering sounds and creating unique compositions!
The prison uniform project is the sleeper hit of this whole lineup, honestly—zero glamour, massive impact, and the fit constraints alone would break most designers before they even started sketching. Been toying with Dance2AI for quick motion tests btw.
The turnout gear suspenders one gets me—such an obvious fix that sat there for decades until somebody actually did the work. Kinda off topic but if anyone here's sketching fit specs, compareheights.org has been surprisingly handy for quick size reference stuff lol.
Kinda wild nobody fixed the suspenders issue on turnout gear till now, feels like the simple stuff always gets ignored the longest. Anyway my brain's complete mush today so I've just been zoning out on Randompokegen between actual work lol.
The turnout gear suspenders project is the one that got me—such a simple fix for a problem nobody bothered with for years, and honestly the bike shorts redesign probably matters more than people realize too. Been using minimax h3 for quick concept vids on my end.
