you ever dreamed about being a little guy?

What a treat it was to celebrate the console launch of Momento last night with much of the core, QLD based team. It has been a joy to work with each and every one of these kind-hearted and talented folks along the way.

Last chance to sign up for my Gumroad environment art mentorship, sign ups close on July 7th. It's a small, intimate group with plenty of time for questions and feedback on your UE5 diorama project. Maybe see you there!

This is most evident in the way a master woodworker achieves their work, insofar that the process & meaning imbued in the "product" benefits the creator & owner. Optimising for efficiency removes satisfaction, potential for mastery & capacity for appreciation of the object/tool when complete.

I've been talking to devs & publishers about the need for more curated spaces for game discovery a lot lately and everyone seems to agree. The stores aren't going to solve this problem. We have an excellent model in what the Wholesome Games crew have done, and I feel this can be replicated. [1/4]
