I'll be between big jobs soon, and would love to dedicate at least a few months toward prototyping the gameplay for this project.

If I made it the focus of my Patreon for the foreseeable future, could you see yourself chipping in a few dollars monthly to support it? I've got big plans!

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

Please stop saying this country is on the edge of Nazism. We're oppressing dissenting cities. We're vanishing queers and browns. We're taking over other countries. We're threatening our neighbors. We're starting foreign wars. It's not 1933, it's 1938. This IS who we are, right here right now.

With Us or Against Us, Again Congress didn’t authorize this war, and the only response to questions is a loyalty test we’ve fallen for before.

Afghanistan started at 92 percent approval. Iraq started at 71. Iran started at 27. The "whose side are you on" rhetoric is identical. The country underneath it isn't. I wrote about how the framework works, and who's deploying it. www.readtpa.com/p/with-us-or...

Gave them a simple animation all done through the vertex shader. Gives them a lot of personality, though the deformations are decidedly no volume-preserving...

I'm not the most experienced 3D artist by any means but my girlfriend has been unemployed for a while and we need money.

So I can make you a prop or other 3D object with either the flat style or more PSX.

$10-25 per model depending on complexity

DM me if you are interested!

Would you consider adding rotation options to the placement?

It might as some cool possibilities with the larger polyhedra
