When I get time, I should do a big recommendation thread of horror movies to watch in the run up to Halloween. For now though, may I suggest watching Lake Mungo? I always start off those threads saying how Noroi: The Curse is my favourite found footage horror, but Lake Mungo is a close second.

I've been working on a colour space in my spare time, inspired by OKLab & wanting to overcome some of its (IMO) deficiencies. Here's a bunch of gradients; in the twelve pairs near the top, my colour space is the upper row with a plain sRGB interpolation below for comparison. It's a work in progress.

Busting out my now 11-year-old (!!) Wacom to do some mass blockouts for the bird deck. No batteries, single micro-usb port, basically indestructible - love it :D

Unabashed shitpost, but relistening to Neil Cicierega's 'Mouth' albums, and I always forget this track - it just come out of nowhere and whacks you over the head, in the best way :D youtu.be/IDl3oehGhLc?...

Hey! New article! This one's about the history of first person shooters, what makes 'em work, and why I like the shooters I like. It's also me lamenting how they've died, and talking a bit about why I want to go ahead and make one. docseuss.medium.com/first-person...

LEGO Party has a launch date!! I was the lead Tech Artist for the first half of the project, and this game has absolutely been the highlight of my career to date. I've loved LEGO since before I could talk, and this game is pretty damn special. Much love to the whole @smgstudio.bsky.social team! <3

The long-awaited follow-up to my article "How The Games Industry Hurts People". A tale of trauma, healing, and finding your way back. If you've ever been burned out, crunched, mistreated, mismanaged, or generally ground to a crisp, this one is for you.

How cute do our new Courting Behaviour tokens look?! Just a crude inkjet print for testing - the real punchboards are gonna look much fancier 🧐🥂 #isleoffeathers #wip

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

We're taking 'Isle of Feathers' to PAX! Also, check out our front yard before the rainstorm hit :P #screenshotsaturday

✨ A very, very exciting 'Isle of Feathers' announcement... ✨ 👀 www.instagram.com/reel/DMhcdVh... #isleoffeathers #boardgames #tabletop @paxaus.bsky.social @junobanuno.bsky.social

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

After a month or so's hiatus, I'm back on the bird art 🪶 This is a Greater Sage Grouse, and they have inexplicably furry feet... #wip #birdsofbluesky #isleoffeathers

I am currently working up a document of everyone who has reached out so far. Here's some early teaser images by @pabastien.bsky.social who's been doing a bunch of vis-dev and worldbuilding. The plan is just to make one very fun level and combat sandbox together, see where it goes after.

✨We're finally fixing the bird card layouts ✨ @junobanuno.bsky.social found a box with all our previous card designs - check out how it's changed over the last few years 😃 #screenshotsaturday #wip #boardgames #isleoffeathers

We found all our old card designs for 'Isle of Feathers'! Reworking our layouts w @junobanuno.bsky.social #screenshotsaturday www.instagram.com/p/DMRlqQqxHP...

Hey. I've written a new article. One of the difficulties in talking about "how can we do something better" is that it means we gotta talk about what isn't going well. I wrote this in the hopes that reading it would give you tools to write work you're proud of. docseuss.medium.com/lets-reconsi...

It feels unreal to be holding a game I worked on but @origamedigital.bsky.social's Umurangi Generation is here 🥹🥹 I'm so stoked we got to do the character cards and disc the way they are too, @gaiakuaoz.bsky.social did such wonderful art again for them! #IndieGame #PhysicalRelease

Hey! Check out the various stuff I made over on @itch.io :) mrmotarius.itch.io

A huge thankyou from @junobanuno.bsky.social and I to everyone who came and said hello at #queenslandgamesfestival last week! 💕 QGF is one of the highlights of the year - so wonderful to join in the excitement for all the new and upcoming games Photos by the splendid @funwithstuff.bsky.social!

Second year in a row of making the poster art for the Queensland Games Festival. I'm really proud of this one as I was able to do something I wanted to do the first year: A full poster illustration featuring our mascot, Goa, and the Brisbane Powerhouse. #Art #QueenslandGamesFestival
