Interlude. I painted this to wash away the summer heat. medium: Nicker poster colour on Arches watercolour paper

On a business trip in #California, near #LA. So nice to see actual land features after being in flat #YYZ for so long 😅

Hidden Cages waiting to be uncovered #gamedev #indiegames

I have a title, environments, plot, characters, major events, and mechanics all thought out for my #gamedev project — however I work a full time job and have NO idea if I’ll get to all that, or how much will change as I go. Thinking of sharing gradually as I keep doing groundwork and tests 🤔

I’m loving ripping out prototype blueprint logic once a concept works, and moving most of it to a custom character class with #c++ interfaces I can expose to blueprints ✨ example of stamina state stuff & sprinting here #ue5 #indiegamedev #gamedev

What do I do for fun? Oh, mostly make over complicated UI animations. #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev

Okaaay, MVP ground locomotion is done for now! Walk -> run -> sprint -> exhaustion working, with some custom #c++ code in the background to handle the stamina states 🔥 #ue5 #gamedev #yinteroGameDev

Planning to spend a few days out in nature to practice resting. Sunset yesterday after dinner was fantastic. #ontario summer vibes

I am pleased to have finally grasped out the weird relation between visual studio and #ue5 so now I can FINALLY unleash my full C++ powers to unblock my learnings and development 💯💯

Been learning how to prioritise myself and my own needs, especially after being burnt out by my job (which is still ongoing). Just carving out a lil space from adulting to do whatever I want. “Whatever I want” often means gamedev lol

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this EXCELLENT set of 10 PRINCIPALS of MOTION DESIGN/ANIMATION by the talented @jrcanest! This is SO USEFUL for all types of ANIMATION! #animation #animationdev #anime #gamedev #conceptart #motiongraphics

Can I just say I’m SO glad it’s summer in #yyz after being teased with up/down temperatures for weeks

Wassup y’all 🔥 still alive and kickin, coming out of a brutal couple months of crunch at my day job. I’ve been beyond exhausted, but learned a lot about myself and my limits. Gonna see if I can share some stuff on here again when I can :)

made a pixel icon of @yintero.dev's dragon Zynga! :D #pixelart

Current job is simultaneously the most frustrating, the most tiring, and the most fun all at the same time. I wonder when I'll commit to pivoting to something else — whether it be another job in industry, or doing my own thing.

Coming up for air during crunch time at work to mention I’ve been learning how weird C++ is in #ue5 — not even the code itself, but the dance between building solution, compiling, source files mysteriously disappearing? I’m getting it now, but bruh

I love a good floppy leaf. The floppier, the better, am I right??

Isn't that relaxing ? 🐏🐑 #Gamedev #solodev #indiegame

#BLAME #animation

Another cleaned up animation sample, run cycle! Another #blender #eevee render. Included a slow-mo cause it’s fun to watch those arms n leggies

Hmmm for some reason I thought I could share multiple videos in one post 🤔 I guess I’d have to convert stuff to GIFs to get that kind of effect

I’ve been cleaning up all of Zynga’s animations for the experimental build! Here’s a peek at the standard walk cycle, #blender #eevee render

Very classic me moment: I finished up some animations to integrate into #ue5, but decided to make some final adjustments to Zynga's rig. Of course...since the keyframes are in world space instead of local space I need to un-break the anims I just finished 😅😅

#hydroponics update! So the #kale has been thriving. The first one got a bit leggy as a seedling so I’ve added a post and string to help it out ✨ #yinteroHydroponics

Dogs ~ worked on this during the weekend so

The 'Quai des Bouquinistes' has changed a lot since then 🥺 #indiegames | #gamedev

Integrated new additive 'look' animations for Zynga in #ue5, really fun way to test out hair physics! Still have a few keyframes to tidy up #gamedev #yinteroGameDev

Prototyping is all about experimenting, breaking stuff, and figuring out what works. Embrace the chaos and let creativity lead the way! Fail fast and find the fun! #gamedev

Wanted to show some #kale I’m growing as a #hydroponics side project. 3D printed cups & grow light mount, and soon to add RPi for monitoring and control. Have some close-ups! Germinated just under 2 weeks ago #yinteroHydroponics

I want to post more stuff on here than just my gamedev projects — introducing the following tag key: #yinteroGameDev #yinteroHydroponics #yinteroEngProjects Might switch this up in the future :)

Working on some kobolds designs! And a new render style I've been toying with.

The Demon Tides demo is OUT NOW! Play the beginning of the game, some of the story and a chunk of the game's open world! In this chunky demo you can also share graffiti tags and compete with other players via ghost runs! And guess what? Your saves carry over too. LET'S GO!

Some images I made for an imaginary Dino Crisis remake. One can dream.

The repair UI #indiega

Figured I'd share some in-game close-ups of Zynga V2! — she's got lots of little texture details (scales ✨🐉) that'll show up in cutscenes #ue5 #gamedev Managed to slash texture footprint by another ~20% as well with V2 vs V1.1

jessie !! #pixelart #aseprite

Omg. I’m SO over winter. It’s been so snowy this winter in #YYZ. I’m trudging to work at -14C and I’m LONGING for spring 💐😭

Hey y’all it’s been a while! Coming back here to drop some screenies of Zynga V2 in-game!! I’m not allowing more design tweaks for now, this is gonna the first release version of her ✨ #gamedev #ue5

Blaidd - #ELDENRING 🐺🗡️

see a knight, post a knight (four)

I still like it... Please check out the test clips with her @yintero.dev (it's so cool... I would really love to play this)

Work is FINALLY calming down somewhat after shipping out our current build, I can actually chill a bit AND do way more art from this week on!! 🔥 Last night I almost finished up Zynga V2…it begins

Shoutout to my Jersey friend’s cat Colin, who was extraordinarily majestic and friendly and would stare at my room door for hours. Waiting. Unmoving.

Side project: friend in Jersey gave me an old 1960s camera as he’s got many and I’m curious to get into film. I’ve been doing that thing where I use #blender as a CAD tool to design and print stuff so I don’t have to buy any lens spanners or caps 👀

[Paper dragon room] I want to draw more dragons this year, so the first painting of the year has to start off strong

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

Just finishing up a trip to #Jersey (JE 🇯🇪), was amazing to relax, hang out, ride motorbikes and do some animating with a longtime friend of mine. Some fascinating old bits of #ww2 history as well here!
