Highly important piece about game art in the age of gen-ai. Super insightful to hear the feelings from the people actually creating.

"We cough up a chunk of our soul": 32 game devs, from Doom's John Romero to Helldivers 2 and Palworld leads, explain what people get wrong about games Sam Barlow, Metaphor: ReFantazio leads, ConcernedApe's business head, indie legends, and many more weigh in

"Video games don't want to exist" I can feel those words in my soul... But I guess trying to make something exist is what drives me to create.

🏜️ Made some progress on the environment props. With a proper specular, it gives a lot more depth to the place (and you should see it in motion too!) 🌡 #gamedev #gameart #madewithunity

🎨 Might not look much from the previous screenshots, here is the rock towers with their final textures. I managed to have the grainy-shiny feel of sand but it is hard to show on screenshots 🌡 #gamedev #gameart

I'm in the pursuit of the grace of making something culturally significant, at least for few people.

πŸ‘· All decor towers have been chiselled. Took me a while to get in the groove of it. Next step will be to properly work on the textures (those are recycled temps ♻️) #gamedev #gameart

Update 0.9 - New Desert level While polishing the other levels, I felt like I needed to focus my brain on new grounds. I don't want Ploppin' to be only a tutorial and a single level so I need a new one! From the few draft ideas of...

πŸ“ΈπŸŒ΅ A new build of Ploppin' is available! In this update you can try the new Desert level. 🚧It is only a blockout for the moment to test the item set and see what scenes people can create with it. So please don't be shy, I'd be curious to see the scenes you've created πŸ™‚ #gamedev

Rule of thumb for game development time:

If you think it'll take less than 3 years, you're wrong.

If you think it'll take more than 3 years, you're screwed.
