Been working on lighting a bit while taking screenshots for the Eilands Steam page. How do we like these?

If I remember the EU series correctly, you can declare one without a casus belli but suffer a big stability penalty… which tracks.

Started watching this new show. It’s about a war between two nations, one that invented chess as we know it and one that invented boofing. No spoilers pls!!!

It is a fact that a hungry bear who’s pissed about having had to wake up from hibernation is more emotionally stable than the average man.

Dunno you but I’m still waiting for a content drop for the Epic of Gilgamesh. Give us a β€œYoung Enkidu” DLC or something.

What I love about Oliver, our new pup: his excitement is off the charts when any one of us returns home.

What I love a little less: he pees on us in his excitement.

I felt attacked for a second, then realized it's for gamers and not game devs. Then I felt attacked again.

My Game of Thrones adaptation will focus on events taking place 10^150 years after the HBO series, during the heat death era of this exciting universe.

Key art for the video game Eilands, a game where you create and explore your own islands. The art depicts a female character on a clifftop overlooking islands in the distance, where each island is in the shape of a letter of the word "Eilands." The islands have various structures on them such as houses and a lighthouse.

The final capsule art for Eilands. Now I have no excuse for not getting my Steam page up and running.

Artist: Francisco Landa (patxi_landa.artstation.com or @patxiarts on insta). He has been a pleasure to work with.

Steam needs a retro nostalgia fest.

Wish the western world would understand that without immigration to cancel out our collapsing pop growth, we are demographically cooked. But no, let's appease far right wingnuts instead.

You know you're getting old for realz when you accidentally dial people while trying to figure shit out on your device.

Kinda trying to do this. Or at least empowering the player to populate their world with cool stuff. It’ll be better once I figure out how to let players explore each others’ worlds.

I maintain my assertion that Sam Altman should have been type cast for door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman roles and nothing else, for his entire career.

Make enough money for me to go full time doing my own thing. Even better if I have enough to hire other devs and artists.

I'm hoping it will rebound once the AI bubble pops.

Can relate. Any time I'm doing art or level design, I feel like I'm just dicking around

Overlay_vertices is a quantum collection. You meant to collapse the wave function of every element by observing them, but decided against it at the last moment.
