Realised that as of this month i've been in the games industry for a decade. Feels weird generally but even more so now that I am a junior once more. 😅

Played a few games of champions today with a quick team I made. Stopping for a bit now that i've hit masterball rank. Now masterball in both violet and champions at the same time which i'm really pleased about. :)

I am looking for a new role making stylized Environment Art and/or leading an environment art team. I worked at Moonshot on Wildgate, was Lead Environment Artist on Overwatch 2, and shipped games with a small team at Torn Banner www.artstation.com/lucasannunzi... #3dart #maya #unreal #ue5

your sign to say "good enough" and finish that thing you started 8 months ago

It will have been a decade since I started working in the games industry in May (8 years+ at Rocksteady) and I have just switched departments. Gone from a QA Lead to a Junior Environment Artist. Feeling nervous but also excited about all the new things to learn. :)

Very exciting. I'm so glad they added co-op in now.

oh i had this realization once

This should probably come with a trigger warning for game devs (especially those in managerial positions in AAA) but I stumbled across this and enjoyed it :D matthewseiji.itch.io/twwds

I recently took part in the Beyond Extent Team Challenge. This challenge puts 5 random artists together, gives them a random theme, in this case "Witches Den", and gives them 5 weeks to get it done. Here's the post if you're interested to take a look. www.artstation.com/artwork/QKybNZ

I am convinced that all these executives literally live in a different reality than the rest of us.

This is bullshit. "absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground. "how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

Does anyone remember who posted that video a while back with the capsules doing a hit animation to demonstrate game polish?

A quick gamedev history story. When I started my career, there were so few 3d artist the company I was hired by had to start a training school to make enough to actually make a big game. At first we didn't know anything. Real time 3D was new and primitive, and nobody really had mastered it.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

When you're a "high performing" person it easy to acknowledge in the abstract that burnout is something that happens to people but then it's shocking when all of a sudden it happens to you, and even more shocking when clawing back up to a normal level of functioning takes so god damn long.

Cop the official Max Payne Low Resolution shirt! If you are so sartorially inclined. Made from the original game models from Max Payne 1. In the lowest resolution possible. #RMD30 Pre-orders are open until 22 September via @iam8bit.com 🔥 https://bit.ly/8bit-remedy-30th

Gonna start referring to productivity software like people talk about video games. "Oh yeah Google Docs is a Cloud-bases Word-like." "Trello is a Lanestyle Jiracore Tasklike" "Only weaklings need to use a Pomodoro to get through Sheetstyle work."

Exciting to come home to my new books after a long commute 😊

Defenders of the deep, with their patented adaptive water camouflage. Known by their enemies as ‘Frog men’. [sound borrowed from Mr. Scruff]

Just make it exist first. You can add the sentient mushrooms later.

this bit from a dev retrospective for Anthem is just ahhhh "Even though that 'six' was based on nothing, was based on a number we said because it kind of seemed pretty logical at the time, but there's nothing behind that, it became a source of immense pressure and anxiety from the executives."

battlefield 6 map editor is... *checks notes*... godot

So the new packs are out: ended up with a bit of a crazy pull 😮

Finally finished a personal project in what feels like aaaaages! Based on an incredible Swordtember concept by Guillaume T. Delbarre 🔥

I think a lot of games jargon is incredibly bad but I have to give it to whoever coined the new term for Clair Obscur-specific subgenre of the French-infused JRPG, the j'RPG. Incredible work.

finished up a new piece on my artstation, tried out some different presentation ideas while doing my own weapon design :) you can see more here: www.artstation.com/artwork/vb3ELE

I think I've finally hit the point where if you glanced at one of these quickly, it'd come across as concept art based on a blockout render Which is EXACTLY what I'm going for Really excited

G'day! As some of you know, it's been a year since the axe came down on #ProjectDragon (aka #Everhaven). While we remain sad about the game not making it to the finish line, we're grateful that we later got to show some of the #gameart we got to contribute over the course of 3 years. If... 1/7
