I guess this means due to infinite universes, it also never happened, is happening or will happen

I think we talk about "how power corrupts" being the level of a CEO, or a politician but honestly, I see it more in heads of small communities or team leaders who had success. It's something I really think about in the off chance I have my own team or success

This is interesting! Here goes

Dismayed that publishers and grants don't want to fund my micro indie games even though I'm not actually applying or pitching

My talk about "How to make smaller games more quickly" didn't get accepted for #adventureX but the email was so nice, I'm not even sad about it

Good bye develop + Brighton! One of the better ones Ive been to, with some great conversations. See y'all at gamescom in August

Any mid-level 3D generalists I know at #developconference ?

Are there any 3D artist meet ups at develop this week?

Sometimes you just feel like sharing the last big thing you did, even if that big thing is a small game 🎈

My room at the Travelodge was one of the hottest hotel rooms I've ever been in and it's desperate scenes trying to cool it down before I head out today

At the same time, there was a period before predatory mobile games with painted likenesses that photos were used all the time in things like this, so it weirdly illicits a nostalgia from me? Also, worst khan

I'm headed to #DevelopBrighton from Tues - Thursday so hit me up for a chat if you need one freelance person that is an: -art director -technical artist -VFX artist -environment artist -game & level designer -indie that has shipped 2 solo titles -all or one of the above

One step closer for her

Folk making the pilgrimage to Brighton today, please be aware that trains from Victoria to Brighton are cancelled for the foreseeable. They directed me to divert to Gatwick.

LET'S GO MAKE IT SO

Working with procedural materials but being interested in photos has got me looking for interesting noise patterns. I made this concrete texture set using this photo I took in a bathroom in a restaurant whilst on holiday The texture is crunched down but it works well

I've had a productive #gamedev Sunday, to get in the mindset for #Develop next week in Brighton. 1. I got tired of having right click to open to an explorer window to open images from and found a script to let me copy the entire path instead. This is literally saving me hours per project.

The should just re-release Mirrors edge with higher res lightmaps. No other changes, just that

Appreciate the help folks! I ended up making some actions in Photopea that gets me most of the way there, so that will do for now. Cheers

I had a bit of a quick play around today

I need your help #gamedev folks I'm using instamat to make my textures at 1024 + photopea to resize them to 128 via bilinear sharpen (because it looks best doing it this way) but it's a little clunky SO: Do you know of a good offline image resizing app that can resize via bilinear sharpen?

Fully support this. Also, there should be a 30 second controller vibration when there is a goal

It actually does better to do campaigns about what games not to buy that are at high risk of letting folks down in the future

This looks exactly up my street

hello I’m doing some marketing now. Let’s see, how do this work? please wishlist my game where this is the only thing you can do (see attached video) store.steampowered.com/app/4209800/...

The overwhelming urge to make a short walking sim set in abstract vertex lighmapped mega structures

"I'm not a contrarian" I say, as I explicitly and only refer to this game in it's UK region naming scheme

Looking at these again and feeling like Im' channelling my inner @makkon.bsky.social

I spent 2 days trying to use procedural tools to get the right looking road texture that vibed with Ridge racer type 4s (It isnt just a straight noise or photo) and couldnt nail it. Ended up painting it in an hour and seriously re-thinking how I might texture Rival Racer.

Fully support this. Also, there should be a 30 second controller vibration when there is a goal

Working on some test art for #RivalRacer and had a play around with my vertex to gradient lighting system. Same Vertex colors but different times of day via a color swatch. neat!

Have any of you incorporated a USB foot pedal into your (physical) workflow? If so, how do you use it?

Best STAR TREK captain. Wrong answers only

Our award winning vaporwave flavoured take on Kula World is still half price for a couple more days which roughly equates to 0.05 cent per level store.steampowered.com/app/2850490/...

Well, FUCK MICROSOFT again, I guess

Managed to get some #PS1 style texturing done for Rival racer. Even managing to base these off of photos I have taken in my travels.

Literally 1000s of indie games crying out to be seen by the "big" websites, but sure, do an opinion piece on a nearly a decade old AAA game
