Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all (game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw) #gamedev #lowpoly #axz

Now whenever a big new game comes out, besides just having to wait for a sale & for the patches to fix the bugs, you also have to wait for them to patch out the genAI that they "accidentally" put into the game.

neat! Unpacking is a daily deal and on deepest discount so far #indiegame #indiegames

Working with @nicholasmc1.bsky.social on this fairly unusual game was an absolute joy! re-calibrating my concept work for first person was a pretty interesting challenge as well! ( everyone else wants top down) I made Key art, concepts and a few cheeky 3D characters as well!

fascinating writeup and prototype/pitch from a game that didn’t find funding, I hope the team is proud of what they made

I made a video of my process crafting some creatures of our game Alterfauna✨ I'm using watercolor and colored pencils, my scanner (aka my best friend), Photoshop and Spine (sorry for the 1rst part's bad quality, I filmed with my shitty phone, I work at night and the light is horrible)

seems silly to be talking about if people who play AAA games have long enough attention spans when the people who own AAA game studios don't have long enough attention spans to let teams actually make stuff

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"

This is the takeaway I'd like more people to realize. What you see is what you get. We've already hit diminishing returns and the returns are crummy.

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things? seems important

Testing new brushes that I've made and will publish them soon ;)

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

I'm a huge fan of the real time loading screen in Destiny, love how you can appreciate your ship, cosmetics etc. while waiting on some loading in the BG. A bit of a technical challenge but making sure I block that out in my prototype also!! #IndieDev #GameDev #Animation

Someone suggested I post this somewhere, and so I have. Happy Spooky everyone. <3

After six years my time at Outerloop has come to an end along others - it’s been a blast! If anyone needs an experienced Unity developer with 14 years under their belt - specialising in 3D character art and stylized look development then give me a buzz, I’m around! I’ll link to the others below 👇

gamedev vague posts perform a similar function to puzzle toys for pets that dispense kibble

seen some discussion about if people should buy indie games on deep discount or wait for it to go off sale to support the devs and as a dev I kinda feel like if the game’s on discount feel free to buy it for that?? and thank you?? (if you really wanna support an indie, buy it on launch though)

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am
