This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

If you see this, repost with a Sentai team that isn't the Power Rangers or Super Sentai Kamen Rider exhibit from my recent visit to Toei Studio park in Kyoto

I’m letting go of these original artworks & If you love them I’ll consider any offer. I can’t take them with me! ~CD sized, paint, xerox transfer and wire on wood. Pick up in San Francisco, or pay shipping.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1) Video Sculpture 2) Art, Life & Money 3) Lyric Diction 4) Beat Research 5) Math, Logic & Knowledge

It’s finally out! Go play this masterpiece now that you can!

I feel privileged to have experienced the glory of Nova Express, its Cthulhu statue and late night pizza in wacky flavors en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Ex...

I’m debuting an extremely early look at a new demo I’ve been working on in this show tomorrow!

This game was the best thing I played last year, and would have been my GOTY if it were, well, out yet. Always a joy to work with @inkle.co.

Caves of Qud update: poured warm static on my dog, it turned into a dromad trader that comes with guards and items. They are all my dog, the whole trade party and merchandise. I convinced my dog to sell me my dog for free while my dog, my dog, my dog and my dog were standing guard.

I posed this question in Jordan’s replies and people are amused so it might as well be on my timeline too.

“Welcome to the circus of values!”

So thrilled to be working with these lovely folks again!

Had a dream that I was officiating a wedding between Beyonce and a refrigerator- in Brazilian Portuguese- a language I do not speak.

A bit late into Black Friday but hey I got three courses worth of Narrative Design lessons up on sale for half price. That's right I've published lessons from Narrative Crash Course and Strangened Narratives course online. Plus Dialogue Design! itch.io/s/171366/nar... #narrativedesign #indiedev

I don't actually *know* that my late great-uncle worked at Bletchley. But the available evidence suggests he did. Here's what I know. I inherited a few things when he died - not in his will, but just collected from his attic. One of these is significant, and linked.

Check out the spoiler-laden conclusion, where we ask the devs all the deep questions about the ending of this truly epic game. A huge thank you to everyone present for this chat. <3 Join us for this (nearly) 4 hour hour long finale episode!

A triumphant moment compared to most of the times I accidentally ruined Nanao’s life in this game.

We're live now! Come hang!

I’m streaming tomorrow with pals! @robdubbin.bsky.social @bijan.bsky.social @garrett.bsky.social @teddydief.com Join the discord now to save the date: starfriends.online/stream

Friends, for the first time ever, my Game of the Year for this year is shaping up to be the same one as last year. Tell me what I missed that I should get in before the year is over.

This is more or less a free comic lettering 101 course

Congrats friends!

The Briefs games are out!

Hello Friends! Today is my birthday. Please tell me something that made your day a little better, send me a poem, recommend a piece of excellent media, or share a science fact. I hope you’re doing great.

Frank made a new game! I haven’t played this yet, but when he explained what it was to me at GDC last year it sounded extremely wild. Gonna check out this demo this weekend!

FREE STUFF: Found a huge box of art prints of my illustrations from back in the day in the basement. If you’re in SF and can pick up, I’d love to give you some for free. DM me or reply for more info. These are 8.5 x 11 on heavy card stock. Other freebies in the next post!

I recommend this whole bundle, but like, Red Strings Club for 2.99? That’s something you should go play if you haven’t yet.

Oh hey! HoloVista is Game of the Day today on the App Store. If you haven’t checked it out yet, today is a great day for it.

I keep thinking about "3D impressionism" as a much needed term for the way we think about art direction in games To me measuring how "better" or "worse" the graphics are only in terms of their relation to reality is like claiming the photo of a street in Arles is objectively superior to Van Gogh

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana or Pearl Jam

Post one of the most haunting shots in movie history from a film made before the year 2000

2021, 8 colors, pixelart

UFO50 lands on the switch LATER TODAY, maybe even by the time you read this. this game has now joyously commanded great swathes of my attention for the better part of a year — mainly on a steamdeck bc it’s such an ideal portable experience. if you have a switch but not UFO50, it’s a huge day for you

Disco Elysium (2019)

Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay from July 26, 1908. One of the most well known installments of the comic strip.

No homecoming would be complete without a visit to Worcester’s best fountain.

Many candidates! Getting my body airbrushed whilst nude with Amanda Lepore? Playing a hooker in a Maroon 5 music video? Nah, the most *random* was probably eating Pinkberry with Suge Knight and Jeffree Star, circa 2007.

So much fun to talk about point and click horror! Always amazing to hang with the Eggplant crew.

Oh hey it's #portfolioday, and I do UI/UX, illustration, pixel art, animation, branding, 3D & texture work. Hit me up if you need any of the things that I do for your projects!

We had such a great chat with @ectafoole.bsky.social, who was so lovely. She answered our burning questions about all the Qud sidequests, except for that one about [redacted].

Last five GOTYs: 2020 - Animal Crossing New Horizons 2021 - Inscryption 2022 - Immortality 2023 - MyHouse.wad 2024 - Caves of Qud

Here's the Death card from my pixel tarot deck, which I've been working on for a while. If you're interested in seeing more of this deck, do let me know! #pixelart #aseprite #tarot #tarotsky #pastelpixeltarot

Do yourself a favor and read this excellent piece about the origin of the Van Gogh immersive trend by my pal Marie!

I met so many cool & nice people at Amaze, and yet there were more awesome folks I didn’t manage to cross paths with. Just an unbelievable amount of excellent humans in one place. I’ll be back next year, but I’m still in Berlin for a bit if I missed you and you wanna hang! 🦩✨
