"surely there's a more nuanced take" isn't totally unreasonable excepting when you use your next breath to say "-because actually I think the AI voice thing everyone hates is good, actually" and then follow it up with some AI bro bullshit about how AI voice is actually very human and will connect us

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out. www.kiro7.com/news/local/g...

Hello #PitchYaGame Excited to share a game I'm working on -- CRUSH DEPTH. It's an atmospheric, retro-inspired horror game where you explore a wrecked station at the bottom of the ocean. According to at least one play tester it's, "pants-poopingly scary" store.steampowered.com/app/3938760/...

In case you'd like to do it yourself, here's the node setup for object-stable screenspace UVs I'm using The original is by @jankaluza.bsky.social, and I've changed it to add a fixed radius and set it up as a Material Function on my end Should work in any version of Unreal 4/5

A little dev update for CRUSH DEPTH. We added some underwater flares that can light your way a little better than your flashlight. But it might also attract whatever is down there too #indiegame #gamedev

my UEToolbox plugin now has support for Parametric StaticMesh Assets. And it now full source is on FAB, and the code is on Github, too. And also unfortunately I have to move on to other projects :( Wrote a big ol' blog post about it all here: www.gradientspace.com/tutorials/20...

The vibe of Crush Depth is feeling appropriately spooky for October store.steampowered.com/app/3938760/...

This is the hill that I stand my ground on. Best game design:

Hard decisions were made.

developer: put it down. we don't need another one concept artist: (clutching tighter) no. this is my emotional support sky whale

Completely and utterly unrelated to anything I’ve posted about canceled projects, this looked neat youtu.be/WoczPuWrz6A?...

What UVing in a good level editor tool is like: Select a face and Alt + RMB on hovered faces to flow it to that face. I can also flow it from the hovered face to the selected faces with Shift + Alt + RMB (coming in Scythe 0.7).

Love making video game

When I started working on the indie horror game, Crush Depth, one of the first things I worked on was this experience of running a power bypass on Eclipse Station. I think they turned out as really fun little puzzles! Excited for people to get their hands on them #gamedev #indiegames

I can't thank enough all the animators on this project for bringing my little dog to life. A lot of indie animators whose work I follow and love a whole lot too! I knew what was coming, but the final product is still leaving me speechless. Thank you to all who worked on this! YOURE THE BEST

Considering that almost all of Microsoft’s office spaces use a disruptive open layout, commuting takes hours each day, Covid isn’t gone and is in fact surging again, and our economy and gov’t are actively crumbling around us, I’m sure this is gonna go swimmingly.

Mirror Tool! I created a new "drag out a line" mechanic that acts as the mirror plane. You can manipulate the points or drag the whole mirror around. What I love about the mirror dynamic mesh operator in UE is you can have merge the meshes together along the mirror line. (2/6)

New update to Scythe, my Source 2 Hammer inspired level editor for Unreal Engine 5! New features below! 🧵(1/6)
