I... think I did it? Live fracture in Geometry Nodes. All existing solutions I could find were permanent one-way operations or slow/lossy voxel-based approaches. I won't share this because it's very specific to my needs, but I'll give a simple breakdown in the thread below. 👇🧵 #b3d

Starting to build out the environment and experiment with the visual language for the game. Next up will be texturing the terrain and adding grass & foliage 🌱 #godot #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #blender

I haven't ever posted about this here, but since last year, I've also been working super hard on making art products. I opened an Etsy page where I sell stickers, magnet and prints of my art 😀 carolanebruneau.etsy.com

Another round of architecture studies. Don't know if this book is available in any other language than French, but it is SO helpful and amazing. I will definitly try to find myself a copy for my own collection 📚 #learning #architecture #gothic #book

DE RETOUR AU SÉRIEUX! Qu'est-ce que ça prend pour être un concepteur de jeu dans l'industrie? Quels sont les différents profils? Voici le modèle que j'utilise pour parler de ces choses. Ça parle de jeux vidéo fait que j'ai mis une triforce, haha, clever, right? #gamedev pepui.com/2025/02/06/l...

After much postal delay (we had a postal strike in Canada right before Christmas!), I finally got the November issue of @patchmagazine.bsky.social earlier this week! Yeah! I love this magazine❤️ #indiegames #magazine #videogames

Canada's games industry contributed $5.1 billion to its GDP in 2024, reflecting a 3% increase in the sector since 2021 www.gamesindustry.biz/games-indust...

It is out! My litttle flipthrough video of @thepatchmag.bsky.social issue 38! It's so well done, can't wait to read the next ones! #indiegames #magazine #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrSC...

This week, I worked mainly on the Lighthouse area of my level. I worked on stealth encounters,architecture, a first pass on the sun altars,an enemy camp and ruins. I also sprinkled some loot, interactive objects & lore all through the level. #leveldesign #gamedev #portfolioproject

Received my first @thepatchmag.bsky.social last week! I'll do a little flip through video soon. This magazine is amazing! :) #indiegames #patchmag

I always like to see the #ArtVsArtist thing on socials. I thought I'd make one for level designer and I call it #LevelVSDesigner :D (I hope gifs works well on BSky) #leveldesign #2024recap #gamedev

Weekly Update! This week, I worked on my project Eclipse. I worked on optimising the level, integrated some new alternative paths, added things to loot and interact with and I also worked on a first version of the checkpoints. It's coming along! #leveldesignerinthemaking #leveldesign #gamedev

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

It's #PortfolioDay ! This year, I will focus my efforts on Level Design, but I am still available and interested in Concept Art work! I have many years of experience in that field, which I think also bonify my work as a Level Designer. carolanebruneau.com #leveldesign #conceptart #gamedev

A new video up on my chanel! In this one, I talk about the challenges and the things I learned doing my recent project S1LV1. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTTy... #leveldesign #learning #gamedev

I just posted my latest blog post on what I learned and made for my project S1LV1. I love to treat those as little postmortems to make a point on what I need to learn to achieve my goals and what I can improve as a level designer. carolanebruneau.com/projects1lv1 #leveldesign #learning

This week, I worked on my project ECLIPSE. I worked on making some locations memorable. I also worked on hinting the player with light, color and movement along with making a simple enemy AI to have a little challenge in stealth areas. There's still a lot to be done! #leveldesign #gamedev #learning

Here's the video about the 4th week of the course when I did a platformer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLPr... #leveldesign #gamedev #leveldesignerinthemaking

The 4th week of the course was one of my favorite. I loved doing a platformer. It was such a different challenge! carolanebruneau.com/level-design... #leveldesign #leveldesignerinthemaking #gamedev

I've been working on my other project ECLIPSE. Here are some steps I did on the LD: 1. Blockout a rough idea 2. Make a more detailed plan 3. Make this level with good metric boxes and get a feel of the elevation that would be interesting 4. Start to bring this level to life! #leveldesign

My 3rd video about this journey through learning Level Design! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dB8... #leveldesign #learning

Here's my blog post about my 3rd level that was inspired by Returnal and more linear games like uncharted. I'd like to rework this one with more mechanics but I think this is the first time I really started to color code things and it really helped. carolanebruneau.com/level-design... #leveldesign

Last week working on this project! At least for now! :) This week I polished my level. I also made the boxes heavier so the push feels better. Also added some UI elements to indicate when an area is clear. I'm pretty happy with the work I've done! #gamedev #leveldesign #leveldesignerinthemaking

2nd video of my series about the course I followed. It was the first time I started to do some things in blueprint. They are pretty simple but I've learned a lot since than! www.youtube.com/watch?v=el6i... #gamedev #leveldesign #learning

Another blog post about the second level design I made based on the theme of Ancient Egypt Tomb. I would like tot revisit this one, I think there are some interesting things in there that would need just a little more work! carolanebruneau.com/level-design... #gamedev #leveldesign

I also try to make videos about the work I do, and talk about what I learn in this journey through level design, but also what I think I could have done better. I use those videos a bit like project post mortem! www.youtube.com/watch?v=neP_... #leveldesign #leveldesignerinthemaking #gamedev

I like to write blog posts about what I am learning while I am doing my work. Here's the one I wrote about my Asian City Streets level. If you'd like to comment, I also post them on Artstation :) carolanebruneau.com/blog-1 #leveldesign #learning #gamedev

This week, the level has now 3 & 1/2 islands! You can now loose the seed when touching fires, get your seed stolen by crows. I added caves to hide collectibles and also experimented with physics to add height and prototype puzzles. #leveldesign #gamedesign #leveldesignerinthemaking #gamedev

Last level I did during the course, we could do anything we wanted and I decided to try to make a side scroller level. I was inspired by an idea I had in my head since a while. #leveldesign #gamedev #leveldesignerinthemaking #sidescroller

For my 7th Level, we needed to explore the horror theme. I was inspired by dark fantasy stories. We explored a more mission driven level. #leveldesign #missiondesign #gamedev #leveldesignerinthemaking

For my 5th level, we explored a more semi-OpenWorld scale. In this level, A newly assigned sheriff investigates a murder on a salt-mining planet. The scale was way bigger than previous projects! #leveldesign #leveldesignerinthemaking #gamedev

My 4th Level was a platformer. It was really fun to make! I would like to rework somethings here and there in this one but it was one of my favorite to make :) www.artstation.com/artwork/lG1qma #leveldesign #gamedev #leveldesignerinthemaking #platformer
