Time to mute GDC and related hashtags for 30 days.

Nice anatomy! For your first model this is impressive!

A decent feature of my work in GBstudio magazine

It's been a while since I talked in-depth about the thing I've spent 20 years of my life doing professionally; namely pixelart .

I wonder if there are any gamedev outlets that would have me

@checkpointau.bsky.social ? @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social ?

That's an incredibly immature view to hold.

I failed a job interview last year because I was over 35.
The agent told me he's never been able to place anyone over 30 at a games studio.

Approaching 40 and my interest in art and my ability is growing and improving exponentially. Fuck that guy.

Did Bluesky's filters break today or something? My Discovery feed is full of pro-AI stuff and uncensored hard core porn.

I'd spent ages carefully muting words and "show me less" to keep that crap out.

The LC project is just something I'm having fun with in my free time. It may never be something anyone else ever play. I have no plans to collaborate on the project as I have zero funds to properly compensate contributions. (I will not accept free labor! Artists should be paid for their skills.)

Bought some ink pens and nibs today. Drew a cat and tried to draw a deer.

I love how the metal nib pens feel to use.

Every day I look at the art for this game and I think I love it more each time. This art style just looks so cool to me.

If you want to see some really nice indie game art, throw "ATTENTION INDIEDEVS" into the bluesky search bar.

Finding so many really good looking projects to follow today.

The premium currency, cosmetic and season pass shops will be fully functional at release, the game might be in a fully playable state 6-18 months post release.

These are all so fun! As a Raichu fan, I love how chubby you've kept it!

Wittering on about new IP being risky, then cancelling the much anticipated Prince of Persia remake while also apparently doubling down on throwing out more souless Live Service shite.

The reality of working as a teacher;

I have been ill with five different infections since returning to work on January 5th.

I have never been sick more frequently, or with such a variety of illnesses, than during my time as a teacher.

That's very atmospheric.

I dislike Epic, but UE5 is just the skeleton.
The 32GB weight comes from asset density. 4K textures, uncompressed global audio, and Nanite-level geometry for every brick take up space. It'll only be available on current gen hardware because nothing else can run it.
Layoffs are the cancer.

These graphics are beautiful. I really love the way this looks.

Where do people post their artwork and creative projects these days?

I logged into artstation for the first time in years and hated everything about the new layout (the AI BS not withstanding).

#art #community

Brilliant use of a quote. “1984” offers many as well.

I really love the art style.

I really miss working full time in game development.

Not having to fit making stuff between the cracks of your completely unrelated, physically and mentally exhausting day job.

The actual Step 1 to improve my art, imagination and creativity:

Get offline.

The last Global Game Jam I went to a solo dev made a custom engine as part of their game.

They had already made the custom engine and the game at home before the jam and made some minor tweaks so it would fit the theme.

Yay.

Everything aches and stuff.

Normal Rockwell I believe man

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Everything feels like a second job. What happened to fun.

Back to work on Monday.

Going to do some paintings as New Year gifts. Got the line art scribbled out this evening.

#traditionalart #drawing

I was helping with a friends indie game, a #lowpoly survival horror game inspired by the first Silent Hill.

It's been delayed by nearly a year but, I can post some of the prop assets I made for it.
