We’re sorry to say that we’re shutting down game development. This was a tough decision but it gives our team the time to move on to other projects. Thanks to everyone who supported us along the way, and we hope to meet again some day.
Thank you for your support the last few years 🤍
We're headed to MCM London in May, so we've had new signs made up! What do you think? 👀
Remote team meet in London to work in an office. You won't believe what happens next!!! (We are all feeling judged for our 'thinking' facial expressions)
This might be the best episode to date? And I don’t say that lightly!

Please share! Thanks!
Many of our creators have been impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles. We've chosen to make a $1000 donation to California's Community Foundation, on behalf of our team and our community.
If you can, please consider donating: www.calfund.org/funds/wildfi...
After last night, I feel more motivated than ever to empower creators to bring their stories to life beyond the stage. Try and generate this with a prompt and you'll fail miserably.
Instead, we can build tools so more people can enjoy their stories. I'm so proud to be working on that with them.
Thanks for joining us live in LA! And if you missed it, stay tuned for the full episodes, coming to a tube near you soon.
Well played @alizapearl.bsky.social @vorpahlsword.bsky.social @ifycomedy.com and guests!

That scene from the end of Dark Knight rises where Alfred sees Bruce Wayne in the wild and they decide not to talk to each other for some reason because I guess Alfred is tired of his shit and Bruce knows it.

We're thinking about organizing a live show in LA with @playvesper.com creators and friends playing a one-shot of their games. Probably end of December! Would you join?
We've reversed a branding decision. Our name is now Vesper!
We're @playvesper anywhere and on playvesper.com.
When we named our mascot Vesper, that just really stuck. Better to rip of the proverbial band-aid now.
No other changes! Early access launch soon! Bye!
A day in the life of a game designer: our cofounder @gaal.co! www.instagram.com/p/C2ub21qtSM9/
Septa is the base for a 3D model that's modular, so it can fit a whole range of stories from different creators.
More on how we do that, and how we generate locations, soon! Follow us here or on TT/IG. Links in bio.
Voila! There she is, stomping around like a giant amongst a bunch of unfinished other art. It’s still early stage, but we’re getting there.
Next, we’re adding more detail to Septa and building out our art system based on this initial style.
While drawing this, he also already made a simplified 3D base in 3ds Max, moving back and forth. That's great, because now we can already animate!
We added character animation using Mixamo, so we can quickly import her into the game and make adjustments while the game runs.
Our art director then created concept art in Photoshop of the first character: Septa, bad-ass mage that wields blue color magic.
We're building an automated system that can generate any character, but we're manually sculpting our art style first, with Septa.
Here's a glimpse into our process for creating video game characters:
It starts with a script written by one of our creators, Chromagy, by @alizapearl.bsky.social.
Like ChatGPT, she describes her game in prompts. We’re using Notion to write for now, but are building our own editor soon.
