Happy 13th birthday JOURNEY :)

Wings are extremely hard to rig in 3D, especially if you want to be able to fold them nicely. For The Pathless, we actually had two wing rigs working at the same time to get around this problem! If you look closely, you might can spot the swap. #Animation #VideoGames #GameAnim #ThePathless #Eagle

Blueskyで origami についての投稿を読んでいて折り図をみつけました。JOURNEY TRAVELER というタイトルで、一般的な旅人のイメージなのかなと思いながら折りました。 出来上がってからタイトルを検索してみたら、『風ノ旅ビト』というゲームの自キャラだったんですね？！ ゲームキャラにそっくりなので驚きました。 So cool ! Thanks for revealing the folding instructions. #origami

Posting about Journey made me remember the origami Traveler I designed. If you want to try folding one, the instructions I drew are here! Many people folded my design years ago, a truly wonderful thing to see. Now there are more really nice designs out there others have made. Share if you make one!

This character was an important early step towards the final character design in Journey. I designed it before the game was greenlit, in the first weeks of the project. Elements of it stuck around until the end, and it helped define the art direction. I'll share a bit about it in this thread.

In The Pathless, you control a fast and acrobatic archer we call the Hunter. It's important to us that players, regardless of gaming skill or experience, can easily become and act like the Hunter- a character with heroic aiming skill. This thread is about how we designed the game's unique archery.

I recreated my old 10th anniversary Journey thread from twitter. I added alt text that gives more detail on each image, so If you saw it before, do check it out again! I should do a thread expanding on the insanity that was how I did shadows for this game... this is just the tip of the iceberg.

10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated: I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.

I havent posted anything in a long time. This is a drawing I did years ago on a trip to Japan. Todaiji Temple in Nara. I used a water brush to create a wash from the pen drawing. When drawing outside, selecting just a portion of the scene can constrain the scope and somtimes enhance the piece.

How does Sword of the Sea achieve dynamic surfing on a hoversword over moving terrain? Let's explore the Wraith's animation in this thread! 🧵 Wishlist on PS5: store.playstation.com/en-us/concep... or Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2453160/... #SwordoftheSea #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
