Is anyone here on Substack? Curious about the game dev scene over there.

Hey there. Just sitting here working. What’s up with you?

Good mothers. Check!

How all my game dev friends doing? I've been working on a little freelance animation project this week, so haven't had time to focus on my game. What are all y'all doing?

This is better.

This looks great!

Got this fun little bug. This is what throwing looks like, right?

Look at the textured in game Jeep interior I made for Jurassic World Evolution. I had 3 weeks from scratch making the high poly to making and baking down to low poly textured and game ready for the interior. #3dart #vehicleart #hardsurface #gamedev

Stefan is doing truly remarkable work helping to archive and share the art that has inspired so many so I really recommend you follow and support the effort and check out all the videos posted so far.

I took about a month off from my game to work on this bad boy. It was really fun and gave me a sense of accomplishment that has really fueled my return to my game! Idk, I feel up to the challenge now.

These little updates are really keeping me going! Interact crosshair. Pretty simple, but satisfying.

I wrote about how gamings rejection of humanity, and embrace of A.I., is the cause of the problems from everyone in the industy, from AAA to indie, journalist to Youtuber. And I highlighted some folks who are fighting to keep games human. Please reskeet for humanity? maxutmost.com/the-video-ga...

Super refreshing to get back to basics and program my own interaction system. I was using some assets from the Unreal marketplace before and didn't quite know how it was all being managed. Now at leas I know what's what. I like that.

Been away for a bit. It's nice to get back to programming simple interactions.

Get a job! DF is currently on the hunt for a Senior Systems Programmer. This position is focused on developing systems (imagine that!) and internal dev tools. Are you are the programmer of our dreams? Apply here: tinyurl.com/DFSystemProg

Throw back to my first time in substance painter! Shout out to Fast Track Tutorials. Solid course on modeling and texturing a hero prop from start to finish.

I’ve been tracking the life-cycle of this fungus in my front yard.

Rest in Peace Viktor Antonov. ❤️ You've been a pillar of Video Game Art identity.

A Mr. Freeze watercolor-style experiment I created in Blender some time ago, inspired by the incredible work of Ben Harvey. #b3d #watercolor #batman

Grab some 3D glasses! I found this vintage stereo photography and combined the left and right eyes. Pretty cool, eh?

Never stop 3d modeling ✨

Full body shot

I recently modeled this Le Prince single-lens camera for a friend and decided to drop it into my game to see if it would fit. What do you think?

Happy Friday! I just want to take a minute to say Scorn is a work of art! A dark and gory alien setting with HUGE Geiger influences and smart puzzles. I love it!

Good news! Turns out it was just the power supply and I’m going to pick it up now!

My game dev PC went out this weekend. Hopefully a simple fix, but I’ll be without a machine for at least a week while it’s being diagnosed/repaired. Might be a good time to take a step back and do some writing/world building for my game. What would you do?

This year, at my day job, I had the privilege of building out this enchanted holiday jewelry store ad 🎄 (scene layout, shot choreography, 3D modeling, editing, and VFX) Thanks to the work from our team at Echo Tango, it turned out beautifully!

I had no idea Walton Goggins was in Prey! Arron Ingram is a somewhat sus npc locked in a containment cell. Set him free?

Really enjoyed Reflection Probe. Can’t wait to give this one a spin!

Been pretty quiet here lately, but feeling much more productive.

This makes me so happy

Well, there you have it. I had a hunch;)

Haven’t heard from Ueda in a while. You think we might get a look at what genDesign has been up to tonight?

I’m deep in modeling the main environment for my game and I just can’t express how much I enjoy using real reference from historical locations! It feels like I’m giving this building a new life.

Made a double door variant.

New door model for all the classrooms! #enivironmentart #architecture #horrorgames

Quick stair demo. This method works pretty well for quickly modeling steps. snapping is your friend!

Interior wall base geo for the first floor in my horror game #b3d #indiegames #Horrorgames #immersivesim

ROOST is looking so good! Keep an eye on it. Go ahead and hit that wishlist button if you like what you see. We need more like this!

Got some time to model some of the interior walls today. I've decided to quit chasing the modular workflow and just model the walls as I need them. It's been liberating! UVing is pretty fast too.

Surreal to see this lake with no water.

working mini golf in Thief 2. even got it so you can hold down for more power.

This view will never be seen in game, but isn't it cool?!

Floor 1 sneak peek!
