'Mulan' Characters 'Kingdom Hearts 2' PlayStation 2

In all and complete honesty, GDC has not been for *developers* for a long time, and especially not for *workers*. We need a Game Workers Conference. Unironically.

#Swordtember2025 Swordnik 20: Vapor Today's design is a spectral guardian knight that uses a incense burning Censer as its base. Lots of fun VFX here! I do love making armor when I can. #b3D

haha heyyy anyone want a 3D Environment Artist who can also do: concept art, character design, UI art, recruitment, social media management, voice acting, opera singing (or any other style really), level design, provide cute dogs???? I know a girl... haha.....

Finally getting a chance to start reading Debug++ from @debugmag.com. Between this, @gameinformer.com, and @apwot.bsky.social, I love reading mags again. Are there others that people recommend that I'm missing?

I've been experimenting making vfx using Unreal engine's curve atlas as a substitute for color map texture files #RTVFX #VFX #UnrealEngine

Our brain is incredible at detecting edges, to the point where too much visual clutter makes it harder for players to focus on what matters. Blending meshes isn't always about making it look good but helping the important stuff "pop". Used MeshBlend + "Find edges" filter to visualize #gamedev #ue5

Masahiro Sakurai is all of us.

Perfect 'Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram' SEGA Dreamcast

We need a law that says if you're only driving your car for fun, you must do it on a race track. And if you are driving a car for transportation, it must have a speed regulator, and your phone will be disabled as soon as you enter the vehicle.

Make a game they said! (no one said this) It'll be fun they said! (absolutely no one has ever said this once) You can be on the intersection of art and technology they said! (this is an especially egregiously false thing that no one has ever expressed outside of sarcasm)

English fucking sucks, man

I'm Morghan, I lived every animation fan’s dream, then it became a nightmare. Disney underpaid me. Nickelodeon abused me until I quit. Titmouse didn't pay me for my internship. I worked on SpongeBob, Big City Greens, Ducktales, etc & now I'm $20K in debt. I need help: gofund.me/e5fc021d

Mesh2Motion (@scottpetrovic.bsky.social) is an open-source alternative to Mixamo that allows you to rig humanoid and four-legged characters! mesh2motion.org

📢 Good news, demo's under review! Plus, announcing a small name tweak... #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #godot

So GMTK Jam ended today and this was the entry I helped with - Echo Rider! Mario Kart / F-Zero zero-grav hybrid where each lap you fight off the ghosts of your last laps with items for the fuel to survive 5 loops! finite-reflection.itch.io/echo-rider #GMTK #GMTKJam #Gamedev

Made a racing game in 4 days with @finitereflect.bsky.social for GMTK Game Jam 2025! I've always enjoyed Mario Kart 8's antigravity system, so it was fun to finally take a swing at that kind of track design! itch.io/jam/gmtk-202...

"Pick 3"

Oh

now that I've flushed out a lot of weirdness, the cpu particle vm for @luxeengine.com is running nicely. this is 1k pink particles, 50k black particles and runs smoothly, no hitches on spawning that many which is good + pink took 0.0803 ms + black took 7.9005 ms #createwithluxe #gamedev

Help, I need a playtester or two this week! 1. Written a short story, especially in the horror genre 2. Have never used ANY game narrative tools like Twine etc. 3. Would be willing to do a 45 minute playtest this week or next on a zoom call Then please get in touch!

📢📢 I'm proud to finally reveal my indie game... 📢📢 Cutting Edge is now available to wishlist on Steam! Perform life-saving operations in this fast-paced surgery sim + visual novel-lite! The patient's life is in your claws! #indiedev #indiegame #announcement #trailer #godot #CuttingEdgeGame

We love a good tavern brawl, especially when all the furniture is destructible 💥💥💥 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #soulslike

RT appreciated: Are you a hobbyist gamedev ? Meaning you are not working in the game industry, but you make game that you publish in your free time. DM me! I'm writing a new article

Finished an effect for the indie game in working on with friends! #realtimevfx #vfxfriday #metroidvania

one more Skyrim spell remade in Unreal! ⚡ #gamedev #vfx #UnrealEngine breakdown in 🧵 to come!

The Game UI Database Summer Update has arrived!! Filter by colour harmonies, copy or translate text directly from images, compare UI across multiple platforms, filter by PEGI/ESRB ratings, create your own grid systems, and much more! www.gameuidatabase.com

we're only a few months into development of our "mouse dark souls" game, and scanning the horizon for items and enemies is already feeling very exciting. Every inch of this world has been meticulously hand-crafted! #indiedev #gamedev #soulslike #fromsoft

dev log #15 - try luxe now! As we continue to wrap up our goals for a wider release we're happy to note that you can try luxe already! Read all about it in dev log #15! luxeengine.com/dev-log-15/ #gamedev #createwithluxe #luxeengine

So how many shader programmers are wondering how much the windows vista style look will impact battery life in the upcoming ios update?

We may be new to bsky, but we're not new to gamedev. Anyone interested in a souls-like inspired by Redwall with a 3DS-era aesthetic? #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #fromsoft #soulslike

I think I’m set on video game consoles for now, time for obsolete media systems!

digging up some old work for #VFXFriday #rtvfx

#realtimeVFX 개인작

TVPaint is $1400. a year license for Toonboom is $1800. grease pencil is still lacking. Toonsquid is ipad only. animation paper is a buggy program in beta. opentoonz is for inking/colours, not animating. moho is for rigging 2d, not traditional anim. we animators have few options lately

I miss the days when you could just buy and own the software.

You made a bad city builder and it failed? Excellent news!! You just gained +1 in critical understanding of that genre. Don't walk away, take those lessons and apply them to the systems , tools and assets you created and go again for round 2. That's how you build a business and a franchise.

“The lack of game accessibility experienced is not necessarily due to lack of knowhow… but the lack of commitment in implementing it in mainstream games.” Baltzar et al. (2022) Let’s prioritize accessibility in game development.

Another "unexpected" behavior for this #VFXFriday If frac() just leaves the fractional part of the number why is the result not this mirrored gradient that we'd expect? Because what is happening under the hood is x -floor(x)! So for example frac(-0.1) is -0.1 - (-1) = 0.9 🤯 #realtimeVFX #gamedev

There should be public parks but for inside people. A place you can go and hang out for free but there's air conditioning. Instead of tennis courts they have Smash Bros setups.

Some of my work for Nahuel and the Magic book back on 2018/19, did the sea monster, water effects some bg animation and the next to last shot complete. #animation

I think one of the biggest failings of the game industry at large is how little it is broadly willing to cultivate its talent, from keeping teams and institutional knowledge together to hiring juniors

I thought the lyrics to APT was "I fucked it up, I did. I fucked it up, I did, uh, uh-huh-uh-huh".

a reminder that I'm still looking for work if anyone needs an engineer specialized in UI and 3D/graphics 👀 I did some pretty amazing (NDA) stuff at PlayStation, and my personal open source work is forward thinking too 🧠🔮✨

This was much more work than I initially expected, but you can now hot reload any asset that's currently loaded into Polybox (my PS1 inspired fantasy console) #gamedev #programming #psx A little more detail on why this was tricky 🧵

if you make lowpoly-midpoly 3d sets (interiors, general setpieces), I would love to talk to you about a project! If you can kinda emulate this kind of thing, send me a DM if you like! this won't be for a game... it'll be for a short film! music, actors, the whole thing. #b3d #blender #lowpoly
