Just added a short and sweet update to my Kick starter project. Im making an art book all based around my hard surface design so if you like my stuff, you may want to follow me there. www.kickstarter.com/projects/din...

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

its gettin 'ere...

Some lighting tests I was playing with a good while back. #Blender #Conceptart

GameUpdate: Laid out 1st 4 missions so I can start working on progression, then completely re-wrote my spawning framework to use pooling for projectiles and npcs. Swapped my cumbersome Wave Formation array maker for a .cvs doc out of Google sheets. Much faster. #unreal #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Lockheed's CL-1201, a crazy 341m wingspan, 5200 ton design powered by a 1.83 GW onboard reactor, gets the 3D treatment it deserves by Mustard: youtu.be/FXTR-QNGUt0

Long time no PBR (and TTT). This is a (WIP) tether-limited freighter with a large post-tether DV budget. The composite hull is partly for insulation and partly for collision protection in crowded environments. Hydrolox propulsion and a few thousand tons of useful cargo. But mostly tankage.

need to adjust the cuts and flappage locations are, but I think it came out pretty good.

It was nice going to the @seattleindies.bsky.social meetup tonight. Ran into @alanau.bsky.social and @isaachannaford.com there.

anybody going to be at Seattle Indies night tonight? #seattleindie #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Cool

I picked up #worldcreator last week and have been experimenting with a level creation pipeline. The #unrealbridge is giving me a lot of issues once I try to import more than one unique terrain. I've got an alternate pipeline that works for now. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #unreal #blender

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

DARPA's Excalibur: www.darpa.mil/research/pro... It's a program to develop optical phased array laser combining kW-class fiber lasers into arrays with tens of subapertures reaching ~100 kW total beam power at near-diffraction-limited beam quality.

Couldn’t be more on the nose

It's challenging learning how to make forward progress when You have windows of time varying from 15 min to 3 hours randomly during the week. Just as soon as I think I'm getting good at it I find myself staring at the screen for an hour unable to start. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

I have a Gun turret that is upgradeable up to level 3, a Barracks, and an Artillery turret both of which will be upgradeable. My NPCs wear little party hats until a barrack soldier engages them. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Today: NPCs can now be assigned routes by wave! I've added a WIN menu that sends you to a new level where you buy upgrades by building structures Choosing Research Branches using Victory points #indiedev #unreal #indiegame #gamedev

Today I set up 2 in Editor tools. One to snap the ends of road splines together with a matching tangent and one to snap tower foundations to the nearest point on the spline with the correct offset, rotation, and also snapping to the nearest side of the road. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #unreal

Latest, I'm focusing on level creation pipeline tools. I made my road splines smart. In their construction script they correctly identify the next segment in their path and self Identify as the last road segment when that's the case. So I can now place branching paths. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Ah, I don’t know why I didn’t think about posting my earlier 17-post thread as a screenshot of my tweet at the other place. Thanks, @rj-palmer.com!

So spectacularly embarrassing

Hey all, as I'm talking about the castle defense game. I'd love any thoughts or observations on your favorite elements of the genre. Also, I'm new to talking about something like this so tell me what you'd like to know or hear more about! :) #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unreal #blender

I've got a level 1 turret built here and you can see the wave timer running at the top. There's a set time between when waves will auto trigger, but pressing the timer early gives you a currency bonus that decreases over time. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #unreal

My Spawner starts by grabbing the length of the three path splines, which can sometimes be different...this establishes the last point on the spline where the castle resides and triggers their damage behavior. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unreal #blender

I created a foundation that serves as a parent blueprint for all of my towers. It includes a build menu and a collision volume that triggers behaviors from my NPCs. I built a data table for towers, and NPCs so I can change them at will. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #towerdefense #unreal #blender

I've been working on a tower defense game and I keep thinking I should start talking about it but I keep working on it instead. I started it last year and made a lot of progress in a couple months, and then put it on hold in order to refresh my portfolio, but now I'm back at it. #indiegame #gamedev

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Artist Edouard Groult has posted for free on Patreon the full horror Star Wars story "Grim Snow" that he previously shared on Instagram. No dialogue. Everything told in a series of more than 160 incredible illustrations. Highly recommended (if you're okay with visual body horror, of course)

Workin' on somethin'

Pretty dark

just wanted to draw fire extinguishers at first _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_

Robert McCall (1979)

Didn’t see the Oscars. Raving comments made me look on YouTube because I needed to see this for myself. What magnificence! Someday there’ll be sensible merit based decisions in these awards. Meanwhile, kudos to Misty Copeland, Michael B Jordan, Brian Coogler & their team. youtu.be/j3ae7BvTuC4?...

Please call your Reps and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE ACT, HR 22/S 128. Five Calls has a good script: 5calls.org/issue/save-a...

Old cartoon gets new life. ​Ron Cobb’s 1975 critique of the military-industrial complex hits just as hard in 2026. ​The perspective shift here is everything: those on the ground looking up at the billion-dollar shadows and seeing a systemic failure, not a show of force.
