I would pay money for an @acollierastro.bsky.social commentary track for Armageddon

Okay but they are standing on the shoulders of Martin Hollis

As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?

i love how insane everyone is now

Stay: Your Forever Pet is a cozy simulation game in which you care for a pet named Ember. Decorate a home, dress her up, and enjoy spending time together. Check it out on Steam, and if you like what you see, add it to your wishlist! @tripmaster.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/4385270/...

CYCLE OF HATE and then the pic is this

So... remember when we joked about making a desktop pet? Yeah, we actually did it. Stay: Ember's Desktop Adventures is now live on Steam and we'd love it if you'd check it out and throw us a wishlist. store.steampowered.com/app/4766080/... #VirtualPet #DesktopPet #DigitalPet

It's all coming together slowly but surely! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RynE...

kinda says it all really, no notes

I feel like AI is like watching the death of hundreds of art-forms simultaneously Like, yeah okay google being able to generate a stop motion video of how proteins work is superficially impressive but hasn't it just made all actual stop motion less engaging?

having done some hand pose stuff in VR, I cannot put into words how impressive that looks. Good lord!

Devs: If you do this, all my interest is gone INSTANTLY this is a cognitive nightmare

I'd almost forgotten how much I LOVE WORKING ON UI in unity its the best (also not final programmer art leave me alone)

Good luck with that

Man, Unity does some dumb stuff but Cinemachine is legitimately awesome

What started as Stay: Forever Home in VR is growing! Stay: Your Forever Pet is coming to Steam for PC & Steam Deck at launch, with VR planned later. Our Steam page is live. Wishlisting helps our small team more than you know. #Steam #SteamGames #WishlistNow store.steampowered.com/app/4385270/...

we have absolutely killed ourselves wrangling with making this play nice on Quest and I'm so excited to share it with more people on PC! I cannot begin to express how complicated the animation engine is 🫠 store.steampowered.com/app/4385270/...

So many great PCVR games dropping updates, demos, early access releases . Good times indeed. Tinker Pilot was always day 1. Just back from work. Booting up now. #vr #pcvr

what a day for having a blocking bug that only happens in CI 😭

This has absolutely no right being this interesting, well-animated and insightful youtube.com/watch?v=8jVo...

It's almost like delegating moment-to-moment gameplay to a non deterministic hallucination machine is a fantastically shit idea or something

Turns out springy things that work with BOTH physics and non-physics (e.g. animation) motion are a huge pain in the butt but I'm super happy with the result :D

Ah, one of THOSE days I guess

Man, some lovely words in latest issue of @retrogamermag.bsky.social but nothing hits quite so hard as that nick shaped gap in the writers page... Miss you, buddy

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

In CI, our meta quest deployment utility was complaining it was out of date so I updated it. Now all our error messages are in Swedish. ???

absolute cringe

Okay yeah I probably should be paying more in dividend tax as long as the ultra-wealthy are also paying mo-- "The additional rate [over £125,000] will remain unchanged" Ah, right.

I'd rather lick piss off a nettle but thanks anyways slack

I'm not even a 3d artist but something about AI generated meshes fills me a sense of just utter disgust... 600k triangles for *that*

Bro holy shit

Today I realised brow piercings are not good when you work with vr headsets all day. Ow. I am not smart.

Found a live instance of a web tool I worked on years ago today. Named my project [object Object] to keep my old colleagues on their toes

"I need a basic fishing rod --" hmm yes AI is coming for our jobs lol

how is InstallShield Wizard crap still the way most updates are handled on windows

You beat me to it!

Stay: Forever Home – Giveaway! and Update 2 are now live!✨ New tools, better interactions, and a lot of polish: • Mist Pods to fend off Thief Mosslings 💨 • New Present: Unwrap surprises! 🎁 • More Mossling expressions Full details and Game Giveaway our in Discord!! discord.gg/H5QtNyDXJt 🐾

I am unreasonably excited by gift box ribbon interactions

Added my own page to the Tunic manual as the shop lad was missing. Doodled in procreate.

I know it's been like twenty years and this ages me greatly but I will never not be annoyed at people recording a gig on their phone above their head in front of me

www.microsoft.com/en-us/invest... * Revenue was $70.1 billion and increased 13% * Xbox content and services 8% [increase] Disgusting, greedy bastards.

lord have mercy, some not-AI-slop?? in THIS economy?

Ouch, but also yes

I continue to be surprised that there isn't more pushback from game makers of all tiers, AAA to Indie, to major platforms trying to put them all out of business by injecting AI slop creation tools in to mine free labor from children. The endgame of all these platforms is no discrete games for sale.

Another day another studio :(

Inspired by @antonhand.bsky.social's satisfying pull-tab boxes in H3VR, I wanted to see if I could do a similar thing with grabbable ribbons on present boxes :D surprising what you can do with just LookAt and scale

Not often I look at LinkedIn but holy CRAP the amount of people on there spaffing themselves silly about AI is *wild*
