#TaylorSwift is one of many things about society that makes me feel that, not only have I been left behind by the pack, but I was never the same species to begin with. Her work is pleasant enough but I will never grasp why anyone would get worked up about it.

RALLY!!!!

Question for #graphic #designers: Is it often the case that a client will make a request for a design with no instructions or guidance, fully intending to either go with your first proof or make you start all over from scratch? Because I feel like I'm being screwed with.

Age yourself with a film you saw in cinemas. This is what everyone talks about, but the moment it got real for me was when Megatron blew Ironhide's head off.

The Sacramento FGC is running a Mega Knockdown bracket! Stream is here (no commentary): www.twitch.tv/vhfsm?sr=a

@megaknockdown.com #artwork for today. Its not all fun and games. #indiegamedev #FGC #gamedev

New phone, how dis work?

The boys were spotted out in the wild.

I very badly wish I could understand how to make HD packs in the #mesen emulator. I have a stack of games I would be more than willing to give an HD facelift. But it seems like the part of my brain that lets me do art has strangled the part that "gets" coding. #emulation #NES #gamedev #graphics.

Evolution of an idea: one of the stages I wanted to have for @megaknockdown.com was the equivalent of a garage band playing in an abandoned lot. I've been playing with the concept for a while before I finally got it roughly to where I wanted it to be Now we get to the details.

My job as a commercial artist, I have noticed, becomes increasingly difficult in the absence of common Media Literacy. Seriously, what kind of note is "its too cartoony?" Adults who have the frame of reference of 12 year olds reared on Veggie Tales and Tik Tok.

Hey #artists: Do you have the same problem I do that you can't focus on just one thing at a time?

Bit of #artwork I'm doing for a #Youtube #thumbnail about Beach Episodes. Because you can't NOT have a Beach episode. Commissions open, BTW #videogame #art #FinalFantasyX

Occasionally I'll do a piece that doesn't exactly work as intended, but still works as a gag. Today's @megaknockdown.com #artwork for example. #gamedev #indiegamedev #FGC #conceptart #onlinelobbies

How long can you make it on 2 hours of sleep a night before you start crashing out?

Does anyone have any recommendations for content creators (any size) in the FGC who would be interested in checking out an interesting indie fighting game? I have some review keys to give out. Tag them here and I can reach out! Or if you do videos/streams/articles about fighting games, DM me!

Sweet Haruhi, people, @mothersbasement.bsky.social just dropped this vid about the dire state of #anime #youtube and I'm feeling like a Butlerian Jihad is in order. youtu.be/q95m-4Wm1to?...

"Are throws... cheap?" #fgc #indiegames #fgcsky 💪🕹️

My current distraction is thinking about 2D games that have gotten REALLY GOOD hand drawn HD makeovers. It's super easy to screw these up but when they're good they're very good. (I know Windjammers 2 is technically a sequel but it's not so far afield that it doesn't count?)

I've never been able to get into #Gundam, so I apologize for this but I keep seeing ads for Gundam Wing on YouTube and thinking "Oh, the one with the boy band."

Our next online league, League 35, starts tonight! This league will use "BLITZ" time settings. All regions welcome, free to enter, and flexible scheduling. challonge.com/tournaments/...

I think I pulled a muscle in my calf crossing the street. I hate getting older.

Going to have some urgent medical expenses coming up soon so I'm actively seeking commission work. So, commission list and samples to follow. This will be one long thread of examples of my work 1/

Our next online league, League 35, will start on Friday! This league will use "BLITZ" time settings. All regions welcome, no fee to enter. challonge.com/tournaments/...

一阵秋雨，一阵寒

I'm havin' that, thank you.

I have got to get motivated.

Probably still my pick.

Hey #gamedev I'm looking for some suggestions for Chinese language fonts. Looking for something for menus, and another font for comic style speech bubble dialogue.

The silly thing in the overflow cache of my brain that has made its way to the surface today: Both Castlevania and Foundation take wild liberties, perhaps unnecessarily, with the source material. But Castlevania is great and Foundation really gets on my nerves. Why?

Okay, #gamedev hot take: If you are a full time game creator, part of a team, and your game takes longer than three years from green light to publication, then your game is too big and needs to be scaled back because something has gone sideways. Convince me I'm wrong.

#Art problems: I had one shot left for one of the @megaknockdown.com endings that I just could not get to look right. It came down to finding a 3D model of a fedora. #indiedev #gamedev #gameart

Slept in a Counting Crows T Shirt... ... Actually I didn't. It was 4:30 am on a Tuesday and it didn't get much worse than this.

Okay, making progress on some of the missing @megaknockdown.com #animations #gamedev #indiegamedev #fightinggames #FGC #art

Who did this? 🤣 #AvengersDoomsday

Game dev is the endless throw loop at times so it's useful to look back and see that, yes, progress has been made. #gamedev #FGC #Indiefightinggames #indiegamedev

LRT: We have a few shirts left over from EVO! @mrmkl.bsky.social (modeling here) is selling them in the Digital Basement for ~$20USD / $27.50 CAD. Check them out here while supplies last: the-digital-basement.square.site/product/mega...

Well I feel... Seen?

Saturday Aug 30th (tomorrow!) @sabrrrroso.bsky.social and myself are running a special Bato City bracket for @megaknockdown.com A unique turn based fighting game that emphasizes flexible strategy and hard reads, if you've been curious about it you won't want to miss out. challonge.com/BatoKnockdown

If you ever wanted an example of failing to read the room, check out the comments section here:

Not for nothing, but Mega Knockdown is an ideal game for streaming because you can watch and engage with the chat in the middle of an active game without missing anything.

Pretty good cross section of where the state of the game is visually going into the end of the year.

Well. I think I just hit point of no return. No idea what I'm gonna do now.

Today's update to Mega Knockdown is all about bigger hits. The Impact Update revamps hitsparks and other effects to enhance how it feels to hit or get hit. Patch notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/149... #fgc #indiegames #fgcsky 💪🕹️

There are so many artists out there struggling for life in the deep waters. If you have safely reached shore, encumber them with help. Be the patron the world needs.

Heh heh heh. @megaknockdown.com #FGC #background #art #WIP

I used to make #comics. I didn't think I was very good at it. What do you think? PDF available at the link. drive.google.com/file/d/1saZh...
