finally finished this piece. no breakdown bc i am really drained, but I believe transitioning into motherhood is bringing out the best of my artistic side 🩵 my priorities have shifted in a good way. this is in unreal 5 💛 www.artstation.com/artwork/oJa8AL

i need someone who can read my mind who stops me and says "your game is allowed to be kind of derivative and shallow so long as its fun" whenever I start overthinking projects

Been noodling away on this for ages and wanted to get it finished so I can start new things :)

Puttering around with a spooder~ (Ascendant Halo missing in this render)

Im proud to announce that I've joined the Team at AGBO as an Environment Artist on Some cool stuff, happy to not have to scroll Twitter as much

#transdayofvisibility 💙 Hi, I'm Rachamim and I make culturally rooted queer fantasy work, drawing inspiration from my Greek-Sephardi background. I seek to marry the elements of the queer body and love with ornate detail and a lexicon of personal symbolism

I did a podcast! Check out my chat with Jason Baigent over at @somanygames.co.uk I chat about my art, My time at Tt and our first game, Trash City Turbo.

Sometimes I get super excited by Lost In Cult releases, and wonder what wizards conjured them up. Then I remember I work there. Jump on this absolute beaut. Big up Cave Story rep!

Heads up narrative game devs! Turtle Rock has a remote possible role in the California PST time zone Please share with your narrative game dev friends turtlerockstudios.com/careers/4678...

Game workers do not receive any residuals/royalties on shipped titles and shipping bonuses are increasingly rare. There's also no guarantee that your name will even be in the credits if you leave before ship, and studios will use this to keep you compliant. All of this can and should change.

Your friend, The Orb. #UE5

Woooooow wtf. This is absolutely brutal.

I am looking for a new role making stylized Environment Art and/or leading an environment art team. I worked at Moonshot on Wildgate, was Lead Environment Artist on Overwatch 2, and shipped games with a small team at Torn Banner www.artstation.com/lucasannunzi... #3dart #maya #unreal #ue5

Hey if you play this at .001% speed you'll be able to read my entire (uncorrected) upcoming book, "You're Not Overthinking It"

I really recommend anyone who wants to improve and get more experience in environment art to take part! Its a wonderful experience and you learn a lot of your teammates!

Absolutely loved NORCO. I'm generally not a fan of point n click style games but the visuals and music really drew me in, and the story hooked me good. Definitely worth checking out

What a beautiful day to follow some artists who don't use gen AI

YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVES FUCKING NASTY. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WI

I've been sick for 8 days straight and was just rejected for a role I was very excited about. Big Bummer.

The game industry’s obsession with graphics is so funny because every other year there will be some breakout hit called “Stick Figure Mansion” or some shit that outsells 90% of the market and runs on a toaster

banjo kazooie's godlike use of vertex colouring is the epitome of 'trust the process'

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

"Nvidia, the biggest company at the heart of an AI-driven hardware crisis that’s making everything unaffordable, has decided to return to its old stomping grounds, video games, and ruin those too." That's how you do an opening line.

Credits are not a zero-sum resource like a pie or a cake where there is a limited amount to go around; you could literally credit everyone who remotely touched the game and the world won't end. And if you credit too many people (how??), what is the worst that would happen? You ego is too fragile?

It's #PortfolioDay! I don't know what that is, but I'm Piper of PiperMakes! I'm a professional little guy modeler, dealing entirely with hard surface modeling in Fusion360~ I just model the mech~

So much troubleshooting and tinkering skills I developed came from trying to run games on old hardware well below minspec. It's such an important skill set to develop and it's one I've seen less and less of in the (little) exposure I have with kids and teens due to locked down systems.

This was not Dennis Durkin, it was Blizzard CFO/COO Armin Zerza. Zerza, perhaps the most controversial figure in Blizzard’s history, is extensively covered in Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment. As is the story of how Overwatch League impeded Overwatch 2’s development.

A little tardy to the party but... #WhatAGameDevLooksLike My name is Tamara, and i am Character Artist with 7!! (SEVEN) (VII) years experience in the game industry. Available for work! I love stylized and semi-realistic work with PBR textures. Its been interesting to be at GDC this year!

whatever you call this art style - PS2 era medium-poly characters with hand-made highly detailed but also somewhat blurry textures with baked-in lighting - I absolutely love it and it makes me want to drop everything and make games

Guess I'm making portals now. Maybe I could use the stencil buffer somehow here. #godot #godotengine #godotshaders

It's been about 6 weeks since I was set free of employment and I am just now really and truly feeling human again.

Tomorrow! I have an essay in it. Well, it's sort of an essay. It's technically an essay. It's an essay I wrote like a poem because I get to be like that if I want to be like that because writing for games is fun and writing about games is also fun! bsky.app/profile/inkl...

With Devin putting v0.4 of Mourningstar out I finally get to post the art I did for the 7 available playbooks.

Every day I am reminded that it's not that social media posts lack nuance, it's that most people are incapable of or unwilling to critically read. Your feed can lead you to the waters, but you and you alone can commit to dying of thirst because your first sip "told you all you needed to know."

hi, I worked in indie games for 10 years and sorry, they're also burning down. you just don't hear about it because it doesn't make the news when a studio of 19 lays off 7, even when it's 200 small studios doing that
