Astral Flex

Astral Flex

one of the first mazes i did fully digital without sketching it out first – it's just too big for paper! go from one dot to the other and back again along a different path.

"op art"! i finally remembered, the term for my mazes is op art. art made from geometric lines and shapes that create optical illusions, distortions, movement, perspective...

considering that's what my inspirations at megamazes called it too, i think i should start tagging it as such. i'll go back and re-tag them when i get the opportunity

i'm a big fan of art that doubles as function, like op art mazes, voxel art stretchmo levels, etc. it gives a reason to explore the art from every angle and discover new perspectives

of course that's related to why i like video games so much, hehe

Fifth Temple | Gravitas (Mari0)

This temple might be the trickiest one of the lot – the puzzles here are complex, room-filling mechanisms, and the patrolling enemies are on high alert! Maybe I should've toned this one back a little… lessons learned after ten years ^^;

too big for paper... or so i thought! turns out it just *barely* fits in my isometric notebook 💖 this is the first time i've ever DE-digitized a maze!

Roughshod

this one's a simple maze, but i really love the pattern and at some point i might do a bigger one like this! the underlying pattern here is an alternate take on a diagonal maze – so maybe i could adapt one of my existing diagonal mazes to match...

new stream archive! in which we split our attention between story and side-quests... so we split into two to tackle them all!
