CONTINUE: A Defiant, New Videogames Magazine Bringing together journalists, devs and artists, CONTINUE celebrates and interrogates videogame culture, creativity and community

I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on.

A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture.

I had the immense pleasure of putting together an illustration for this new australian Magazine, very humbled that that @serrels.bsky.social and @jacksonwryan.com chose me to scribble on their first cover.

Please consider backing local australian journalism. there are stories here worth telling.

I also want to piggy back here, these are some of my Shorebreeze concepts for Towerborne. Was probably my favourite biome to work on and I'm really stoked with how it came out in the end.

We render chunks of the environment using a HDR with no sun and some soft lighting for light sources, then apply them as a texture in Unity. Then direct lights for sun and light sources to get proper shadows for everything.

It's all 3D. We pre-render the GI for environments in 3DS Max, then have dynamic lights for the sun, light sources etc.

And yep, it's Unity.

"And what of the dead? They lie without shoes
in their stone boats. They are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse
to be blessed, throat, eye and knucklebone."

Pavel Elagin, Lighting Demo Reel This is "Pavel Elagin, Lighting Demo Reel" by paberu on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Towerborne is out! I spent the last 4 years on this project. I feel very fortunate to have been part of such an amazing Env Team, we made some really cool stuff! Unfortunately most of us are now also looking for work =/

Anyway, I want to share my first ever Lighting Demo Reel!

A screenshot showing a 3D model that has been painted in gold and stone surfaces. There is a small window with preview of brushes. The model depicts a lamp with a floating red crystal in the middle.
