Didn't have much time to work on the project since I'm preparing to change countries for my new job. Even so I'm pretty happy with where it's going, I'm finally enjoying creating again. #MotionDesign #GameDev #VectorIllustration #Mosaic #AfterEffects #AffinityDesigner #MusicVideo #WIP

Testing radial arrays + animation + shading. #WIP #MotionDesign #Animation #MusicVideo

Testing the production pipeline between #AfterEffects and #AffinityDesigner. I'm used to draw with both so for now I think #Affinity will be used for main vector shapes then port them to #AE to continue drawing for proper control of #Animation and #PostProduction. #WIP #MotionDesign #Illustration

Past days were stranger : as soon as I decided that #gamedev wasn't for me, a company hired me for... gamedev 😅 But I'm pretty happy with the new life ahead of me. Spent a bit of time shifting my musical project so now I'm back to my roots : #Vector #Illustation and #MotionDesign #IndieDev #Art

I decided to walk away from #gamedev for my musical project. Like many times before, as soon as I reach the dev part of the project it just feels like endless debugging and compensating for the lack of tools that I'm used to have in graphic and motion design. I just don't enjoy it. 1/6

Spent 2 days making my own custom importer for TexturePacker sprites since their addon only imports AtlasTextures with no 2D PBR support. Now it imports all spritesheets and creates Sprite2D PackedScenes already populated with PBR maps. #IndieDev #WIP #GodotEngine #TechArt #2D #GameDev

Been reconsidering the scope of the game. Lookdev revealed complexities that I wanted to avoid (translucency cost, radial math, platform limitations...). So I reflected on how I should go about it and went back to the original concept : 1/4 #indiedev #wip #game #lookdev

#wip of the day : adopting a more #animation centric approach by using simple tricks for rotations and scene building. I'm removing more and more stuff : lighting, translucency, procedural placement... Still trying to find the right look and workflow 🤞 #indiedev #gamedev #2D #rhythmgame #mobile

🔥🔥🔥

Finished re-reading - Hell's Paradise - by Yuji Kaku. What a blast ! God-tier story and art, I love how he weaved the themes of strength and weakness in the plot and character interactions, just lovely. Both subtle and epic ! And the character designs 🤌✨ #manga #review

Goodness #lookdev is rough. A brawl with shaders, mobile performance, sprite masking, fake lighting, scene depth in forward rendering, texture quality and coding radial rotations. Painful to compare the clean 2D look and the resulting game visual. I need tolerance. #indiedev #gamedev

What a long week - switch from #3D to #2.5D pipeline - #2D #illustration export > draw normals > pack to spritesheet - local version control setup + rethink project folder structure - #UnrealEngine project setup for #mobile - #Blueprint for radial array (angles madness 😵‍💫) #wip #indiedev #gamedev

Been in limbo between #2D and #3D workflows these past days. Doing vector art in #Blender is powerful but I get lost in the technicalities and don't get inspired. 2D is my cozy place, so I'll take it straight to #UnrealEngine and bring in 3D techniques progressively. #indiedev #vectorart #gamedev

#indiedev #wip : So I brought the 2D scene into #Blender and the pipeline #vectordrawing > export texture > cutout each 3D mesh element > instantiate with #geometrynodes lacks flexibility. Iteration isn't good so I'm considering drawing curves directly in Blender but I need to test first. 1/2

Aya... My heart melts everytime I hear this song. Such a beauty. #ff7remake #gameost #ost youtu.be/lhb2ePyiIB4?...

#wip of porting my #2D #illustration to the magic realm of #3D in #blender : cut-out a texture, made a script to display a radial grid and a #geometrynodes setup to instance stuff in a circle, still some stuff to iron out. Oh and happy new year y'all ! #indiedev #gamedev #sologamedev #b3d

Ok done. This scene was important to get right because it will be used to test the style and animation in the game context. Next step : bring this to the 3D realm 😬 It wil be tricky to replicate some 2D exclusive effects but it's an interesting challenge ! #wip #indiedev #2D #vectorillustration

Been struggling a bit to find the right style between #mosaics and #flat. I have a clear image in mind, the floor is in the right direction for example. I'm trying to nail a 2D / 3D esthetic. Meanwhile, merry christmas y'all. #indiegame #stylized #illustration

Been cursed by the god of #geometry and perfection. Had to create a #radial grid with 64px increments and snap everything to it. It was already pretty close but I needed to build it for the next illustrations since it's important to the lore. I'm becoming Alcantara. #indiedev #illustration #mosaic

Pattern : 1. be happy with my work 2. get excited about the future 3. start planning and anticipating stuff 4. do project structure and tooling 5. overload the mind with theorical solutions 6. brain is tired and wants me to leave it alone 7. no work done But hey check this rad timeline design.

#wip of the day, experimented a lot on making plant art while still following #mosaic / #arabic geometric style. At first I went with classic stuff but it didn't fit so I just did my own thing. #vectorillustation #vectordrawing #indiedev #gamedev #2dart

Next iteration of the main scene, very interesting to see shapes, movement and ideas emerge from the geometry. Did I say I freaking love geometry ? #indiedev #gamedev #vectorillustration #geometry #arabic #mosaic #rhythmgame #mobilegame

Pretty happy with where it's going, still pretty #wip and I need to figure out how to translate this 2D approach to 3D but for now it's better to leave the creative process unhindered. #sologamedev #indiegamedev #rhythmgame #mobilegame #stylizedart #vectorillustation

Resumed the #gamedev of my #rhythmgame. I quickly went back to studying #arabic #mosaic #patterns, I freaking love those, beauty of mathematics made visible.

Since I can't work on my #indiegame for now, here's another early #screenshot of stuff I was experimenting with. I made a whole tilemap with oriental motifs to build a 2D level in #unrealengine. I still like the look.

Any #gamedev here with experience shipping mobile games with #unrealengine? There's barely any resources out there about that and I'd love to ask questions b

I did #sologamedev for 5 years and always tried to build my specific vison of a rhythm platformer. I made many iterations and one of the biggest challenge was to have a frame-perfect movement system that always matches distance and tempo. Here's a preview of an early prototype in #unrealengine.

Ok and here's my first #gamedev post : I used #godotengine to prototype my rhythm game and spent weeks building stuff I could make in days in #unrealengine. It's a small game so I thought godot would be a good fit but it's also a small engine. I miss unreal so I'll try again there.

- Nanomachines- #manwha I'm reading lately. Typical power fantasy and scaling but obsessed with clans and hierarchy. Fights and story are meh, but leveling up feels nice. I'm still not comfortable with how rude people are in manwhas though.

Maybe I'll try posting stuff. Been too shy on other platforms. Music, gamedev and manga stuff, sounds good?

I really like those #starterpack things. No way to browse them? Same for custom feeds.

It's funny how I unconsciously try to skip every 3 posts because I was used to ads in Twitter.
