I've posted the February update for #TemptGame on our discord

I recall loading screen calling every asset in the game. I asked the lead programmer why it didn't just load what was in the level. He fixed it and load times were dramatically improved.
At the time I was doing FX editing fractions in notepad. Dev time of seconds waiting 5+ minutes loading.

Using the #Scythe plugin by @kronok.bsky.social for #UnrealEngine, I modeled this sci-fi hall in two evenings. I would rebuild most of it with what I learned, but it was fun to make. #screenshotsaturday

Lava Cave Archway - Unreal Engine 5, Chris Holden I created all meshes created in 3ds Max, textures in Substance Designer and materials in Unreal Engine 5. Particles FX are broken down and modified UE starter content fire particle.

Here's the final scene on ArtStation. Thanks for all the support on this piece. It was a lot of fun.

an alleyway exercise last night. Not sure if I'll take it further. #unrealengine #gamedev

I'll do that. It was bugging me as well. I'm doing another FX pass before final Art Station post/video and I believe I have a solution.

Wrapped this scene up last night. After the last rounds of feedback I'll put together final presentation images.

Happy 2nd anniversary to #GRAVEN! You're still a good bit of retro art and design that folks may appreciate in 20 years.

Started a new environment piece over the weekend. Only clean meshes besides the lava texture so far. May be part of something bigger. Hoping to wrap it this weekend if weather allows.

I forgot rocks so I dug up a pack I bought ten years ago. Still looks great after reducing it to a since 512 diffuse. It's also massive scale as the cultist enemy is player sized.

Thanks. I thought the screenshots looked cool, and had a good times recreating some of the scenes.

A really impressive recreation of the Ritual Division from CONTROL. Crazy how accurate it looks considering the gap in technology.

built this collapsed tower area last night from flat, empty landscape. Pretty happy with the setting so far.

Today is 26th anniversary of Quake 2: Extremities (signed by the id devs at the time). Zaero was also released in November, but I don't know the release date. My first two game boxes in stores. #quake #gamedev

It's #ScreenshotSaturday! Here's an initial blockout and an early modular detail pass to see what pieces I need.
I have this whole platform adventure game prototype level as a playable build that takes around ten minutes to explore.

November 11, 2002 Goblin Commander was released for PS2, GameCube and Xbox. #gamedev

Thanks. I hid all the walls I could. Some below areas are tough to see. I video would do most justice to showing how many platforming exploration is in there.

Good morning #ScreenshotSaturday!

Start area representing about 1/10th of the planned #leveldesign for a puzzle platformer prototype. Already packed with level opening backtracking and tons of secret potential.

Out here at a #Halloween party.

Yo #ScreenshotSaturday. Here's ten area idea blockouts for a puzzle platformer. Had a lot of fun putting these together.
