Hello #Portfolioday I'm a space artist as well as a short story writer. Here's some images, link to a summery short story in the following post.

WE STAND WITH WORKERS - OUR STRUGGLES ARE CONNECTED After a year of record high returns profiting from genocide, Microsoft announces 20% layoffs in Xbox. No Games for Genocide renews its call to boycott Xbox and divest from Microsoft & Xbox. Sign the pledge: nogamesforgenocide.com

IO Interactive closing Istanbul studio after regaining control of Project Fantasy

This is an insane sum up…. We need the indie industry to revolt and take over!!

I’m working on an indie game project and want to self publish it eventually. Are there people out there that I can chat to about this process?

We need a resurgence of Indie developers growing into larger companies! We need new blood, new initiatives, NEW GROUND TO STAND ON!

So since the whole Physical game distribution system will be evaporated in the coming years. Maybe #IndieGames should start production on the physical game media again. Selling games on CD's/DVD's again.. Lets be the change we want to be.

ROCKY MY NEW BELOVED LITTLE GUY!!! 🫡👎🥺

In response to PlayStation going full-digital, Nintendo’s next console should go back to using big, gray cartridges that are mostly empty space and feel really satisfying to push into a slot.

I was modeling this wall mounted lantern today and I was just like, I dig it! #blender #3dmodeling

NEW: Xbox confirms to Bloomberg News that it has pulled out of IO Interactive's 'Project Fantasy' video game. “We expect to invest about the same in content as we did last year. What's changing is where we're investing and the kinds of projects we're backing.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Saw this great architectural design today of a car port / exhaust fan structure ! Might model this next week!

this was a fun little process vid to put together.

The Milwaukee driver is complete! This was a very interesting practice in working with booleans and texturing a low-poly model. Created in #blender and #substancepainter . Wireframe in replies #3d #3dart #art #3dmodel #blender #blender3d #hardsurface #3drender

sobs indefinitely. so many friendships

End stench with me cleaning up the edges of the shelves and clean up. About to drill in all the dowels just to make it look nice and then the loud job of sanding it down and ready for oiling #woodworking

A second lighting pass can help a lot to push the values to a high level! Next up will be some materials & minor set dressing. #3DArt #UnrealEngine

I've been working very hard on my Anti Throne scene the last few weeks! Today I've managed to do a first push on the character design! #3DArt #3DArtist #UnrealEngine

Very pleased with these SGF interviews scrutinizing questionable choices/ethical compromises. Keep this up! Please interrogate devs for why they think plagiarizing other artists is acceptable. Please ask Xbox about their relationship to BDS Please ask what motivates profiting off dead celebrities

kind of heartbreaking but also enlightening to see Destiny finally getting closure. It reminds me so much of Twitch in it's early days. Ohhh Destiny, you'll forever be in my heart. Per Audacia Ad Astra

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

I can not fathom this decision…

Icelandic folklore tells of the Yule Cat that terrorizes children if they don't have new socks for Christmas. folklore does not specify whether the Yule Cat is adorable or not, tho. ❤️🐈‍⬛

showing a trailer at the Game Awards costs anywhere from $450,000 to a cool $1 million.. here's my old-ass Tiny Tires trailer for free ❤️ #indiegames

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs. There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

I've made a maze-building game where you can explore them in first person! It's got some puzzle-y mechanics and you can share your build for other players to solve. You can play it here: mattstark.itch.io/mazegarden #gamedev

Started working on a wave shooter game It's in a very very rough state, but getting somewhere! #indiedev #1stpersonshooter

I woke and felt I wanted to talk about "solodev" as a term. Why I feel some of the discourse around is overly negative and thus missing what is special about it. It also dives into a pathway to that personal journey for those wanting to get there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZj_...

Tree time! Time for tree men!

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

Developers blame the game industry's woes on unreasonable investors, mismanagement, and skyrocketing game costs. Is there a way to make things better?

I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.

Ohh this is a feast to read! 💜

If you end up playing my game, please just take this chonky hose directly the the water pump and don't do any of this please and thank you lol
