The new skate game is super fun actually.
I love all the goofy ragdolls and silly physics - really makes it soo much better. Never fix bugs like that :)

Microtransactions are a bit much, mainly the reward flow is way too long and in your face. Just tell me what items I unlocked jeez..

Heres a thread of some wip env art. You can also see mire on that account.

Not aiming for hyper-real. Kind of an intersection of painterly and realism.

Its kind of going to be the main kit, and honestly may need a ton of rework.

The game is a pseudo open world roadtrip. So most of the buildings will be residential. Plan is to prefab out a ton of house variants and populate levels with them. Still working on the process of that.

A bit of both. Ive grabbed quite a few kit assets and have been processing them one by one. Ive also made a modular house kit which needs expanded.

Current plan is to finish up this smaller project (Name still in the works) In the next 2ish months. Then I'm headed back to the Grey Road.

I'm planning on hiring a contract environmental artist / set dresser. I've been finalizing my systems dev in the mean time.
Very excited :)

Bsky is never beating them antiBlack allegations, huh @jay.bsky.team ? Really looking forward to the days of radio silence I know will follow this one, because if there's one thing I know you guys do well, it's turtle up on bad decisions til that shit festers.

Celebrated my sibling-in-laws birthday the other day. They got a big bird watching book.

Despite my best effort, I let out: "Are there storks in it? Can i see the storks? I would like to see if there are storks"

They paged through a bit, and I really wanted to ask about seeing the storks again.

I do need to look out for myself. I need to keep telling myself that me making art is valuable, and I can use that value to make positive change.

Thankyou ❀️
