No worries, I appreciate the question!

Yes, I do intend to do block textures. I want to adapt as much as I am capable of to make as complete a resource pack as possible for general use and especially for my map.

I've been steadily working on building the best arrangement of blocks to showcase and ensure that every block works cohesively, but there are so many blocks these days it's hard to know if I'm missing one here or there in my set-up! So I need a better plan moving forward for organization of the blocks.

There's also a small challenge to figuring out what the color and texture languages of the blocks should be, and how to balance between the vanilla color and texture languages (which have a lot of variety and distinct features) with the color language of Hollow Knight (which is often very dark, utilizing a TON of blues and round or plated shapes everywhere and does not have quite as much variety, as I realized while making the paintings). It should be a fun challenge, though.

I think I might focus on decoration blocks first to get a better idea of what to do for the building blocks, but before that I might focus on items more. We'll just have to see. I'll need to pop open the 'Craft again to think about it.

I also still need to work on the tunnels for the map! This is especially true for areas other than Crystal Peak and the Howling Cliffs. I want it to be as spacious as necessary but still make a good 3D environment. Much to do, much to do...

i love the start of this ask bc it tells me you assume I've been here for a much longer time,, i played thru portal 1 in 2019 and finished portal 2 in march(?) this year, so im not much earlier to the party than you!! (this blog technically is older tho, since it was an inactive sideblog before the portal obsession hit)

mhmm as for wheatley hcs...

- he has ADHD but refuses to acknowledge that

- genuinely cared/cares abt chell but has trouble seeing other people really as People and not Props For His Life Story

- actually genuinely enjoys classical music (this hc i stole from @gladosisalesbian)

- also enjoys chap hop bc i say so

- has GREAT trouble telling music genres apart

- does not hum, but DOES sing little songs to himself sometimes. cannot whistle.

- is lactose intolerant. i know hes just a robot ball. but listen. listen. they programmed him with lactose intolerance.

ALSO if ur new to the fandom i absolutely suggest taking a look at all the awesome things the community has made!! outside of tumblr, if you own p2 for steam, definitely check out Portal Stories: Mel, a fanmade game of incredible quality!! also, theres lots of fun stuff to see on YouTube (personal faves are harry101UKs Meet The Cores videos, and Miracle of Sounds Wheatley Song, which i get stuck in my head minimum once per week lmao)!
