Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer (2002) how the did they get the water to look like that, this is incredible I don't mean the reflections, look at the shape of the wave as it moves, the lighting, the glow.. This and the game loop are **amazing** and needs to be studied This is lost technology oh my god

given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake

Let's talk about naming your video game! This is something I come back to with teams over and over again. Naming is really hard. A decent name is hard to find, and a bad one will really make it hard for people to remember your game. Here are some tips.

Alright see ya next weekend.

Miss that time when popular game franchises went like “here’s our pinball game”

With animation, not only do you have to understand movement and physics, but you have to interpret movement. How personality and mood and thought manifests physically in ways you can read. What is the rhythm of a type of person. It's part actor, part choreographer, part body language analysis.

Even though I work in 3D, LAIKA's swappable face approach inspired my own facial animation tech for our indie games.

Mulan is one of Disney’s best-designed films. For that, you can thank Chen-Yi Chang. He was the character designer, and he put an amazing amount of care and research into his work. It lifted the whole team, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-charac...

Here's a 3-hit combo sketch from last year I found in the dusty corners of my hard drive. Spent a few hours this bank holiday cleaning it up. I don't have the time and motivation to take this into spline and polish, but it's still got some interesting bits that deserves to see the light of day.

This is dedication!!!! So cool.

I haven't been on a single long distance train in france that I didn't share with at least one cat. Here are some blokes I also shard the train with:

Continuing yesterday's look at abandoned Mexican police posts, today we delve into those of Japan. 'Koban' are all over the country (approx 6,600) and are architecturally diverse neighbourhood stations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8D... Search 交番 to see more, especially on Instagram.

Bacon & Egg Toast (2018)

A recent gameplay addition to a #UE5 project required something to pick up, inspect and stack. So I decided to throw together a quick crate and clay 'bottle' to fit the need while also stretching the artistic muscles in the process. #b3d #substancepainter #gamedev #gameart #indiedev

Need For Speed Payback is...actually kinda fun. I've only given it an hour so far but the vehicle feel and cameras handle really well, and the story reminds me of NFS Carbon, which was really big for me growing up!

My favourite video of all year is here

Wrote a new blog post on a theory I have to get better at making video games: choi.work/posts/21-how... Also, updated my site! Much happier with it now.

Truly game development is the art of writing a to do list and adding 2 things to it every time you cross 1 thing off

Blender's animation and rigging toolkit, so far, just makes so much sense. Being able to easily flip and mirror poses is awesome. Being able to define custom bone shapes and then transform it visually without messing up its actual position is awesome. Maya feels so dated by comparison.

Soon you might be able to beam colors from anywhere to everywhere.

Learning to rig in Blender...after spending a day on it, feels a lot more intuitive and user friendly than Maya! (learning through @pierrick-picaut.bsky.social's course!)

This is the kinda energy everyone should have about their work.

a short breakdown of the process of making that tiny lego car with my tired old voice narrating:

Been trying to find the bassist that plays the intro to 'Block Rockin' Beats', and the closest I can get is that it's a rearranged sample from the first 3 notes of 'The Well's Gone Dry' from The Crusaders. No bassist listed in the credits though! Possibly Larry Carlton plays it?

a beautiful sunny Saturday with 0 plans other than to hit the library, write and play games. what more would I need?

went to my first games industry event (Guildford Games) yesterday as someone in the games industry. felt pretty cool. saw some familiar faces, spoke to a lot of students, talked a lot about games. life is good and I am very lucky!
