When you’re trying to have a dark night of the soul but it’s fucking freezing outside

The prototype space is getting there

Fellow game devs: is it worth hiring someone to specifically do color studies of your raw 3d geometry? Basically paint in a few key art scenes from the geo

I dont play a lot of games these days, but Syberia: The World Before has been incredible so far. Stunning art, sound design, tactility, and a great story. A game where ‘appreciate quiet beauty’ seems to be a design focus

How have I never heard of Spider the video game?

Making some tables

I dont know how much more of this whole being alive thing I can do

This looks interesting. 👀

On a plaque in my dream last night it said “When you move in life as within a poem, there is no separation between life and art” and at 3am that sounded like some pretty deep shit

See ya there!

Testing a pre-rendered character and the Aura lighting engine for Game Maker. I'm aiming for a retro RPG look for some segments inside 'Evangelho da Carne' (Gospel of the Flesh). I'm using Val'ty's model as a test. I don't have a finished character model for this game yet.

It seems like nuns are having a big moment right now. Is it the genz sex negativity turned into repressed horniness? Fun fact my great grandma’s sister was a Canadian nun. Theyre allowed to wear flannel habits

i just published a new post! (talk transcript turned into a post) “game engine medley” — prototyping with small tools and mixing game engines for complex storytelling www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/gam... #GameDev #GameDesign

Biggest voter turnout in NYC so far since all the dinosaurs came out and voted “no” for big meteor ☄️

I honestly love the way the blood looks under the plastic, it’s so pretty

Let’s get Cuomo to play subway builder on stream

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

You can see Moebius’ expression of mysticism most in his sketchbook, which achieves the penultimate state of the artist, an overflow of images. It’s this chaos that most directly mirrors the divine universe

WIP of an ascension scene. I've been thinking about imagery from older projects recently

Rust goddess crucifixion scene. I wanted to play with a live action element for a more ambitious scene I have in mind Sound on if you wanna hear the music

I want Sam Fisher to grab me from the back in the dark and whisper snarky remarks in my ear 👀

i am tired of the world framing trans issues as “they’re not hurting anybody” or “society can tolerate them.” trans people are load bearing for a free society, not something to be tolerated

CALL FOR QUESTIONS: I’m interviewing visionary dev Lilith Zone (Cicada Marionette), best known for Crypt Worlds. Lily’s work has deeply influenced me and countless others who believe in games as art. Got questions? Drop them here! #AltGames #ArtGames #CryptWorlds #IndieGames

Another box. I wanted to paint something black and white.

Experimenting with textiles has been so much fun. Something you never get to consider in a video game is how something feels when you touch it. The raw pleasure of cutting, burning, dyeing, and tearing - it’s a blast

Ive noticed a new aesthetic Im gonna call plastic bag minimalism. Its features include white walls, fulbright lighting, and items arranged as if taken out of ones luggage or closet, usually arranged on very thin bare metal furniture without any additional labeling. The reason this might be popular..

Nowadays all I do is complete objectives like “return spectrum modem”

Trying to make conceptual sculptures in the air, with the body, and visualize the object in space before making it, rather than drawing it first

Getting served PSX style AI bullshit on my feed really pissed me off, man. But it’s a great reminder that intentionality is key in all things.

If you are in NYC Im running a free self defense class 🥊 for trans + nonbinary folks this Saturday (8/30) at 1PM on Roosevelt Island. DM me for details + location.

Video games haven’t carved the same art house corner as film yet because no one is funding art games the way they’re funding art house films. Hopefully we’ll get there, but it seems that the burden of proof relies on those small teams brave enough to take a chance on something non commercial
