if any of my work is useful to you, i'd appreciate a bit of help with rent coming up ko-fi.com/connorshawva

i hate "knew this guy was shit" posts as much as the next them but ever since this guy cropped my artist friend's watermark out of his youtube banner saying arguing it "didn't look right" i'd been side eyeing the fuck outta him lol

DuckDuckGo search results for "Android 17", a Dragon Ball Z character. The blurb that has appeared from Wikipedia is for 17's sister, "Android 18", a different character.

search engines are gonna be fine, y'all 👍

Block Game | Ultima/TES meets Minecraft Ultima/Elder Scrolls meets Minecraft voxel sandbox game with building and crafting.

btw conventional games marketing wisdom says block game will never get a lick of press because i'm developing it out in the open and anything that's public knowledge is not news so that means for it to go anywhere it has to have strong word of mouth

so uh, tell your friends? enikofox.com/blockgame

i think the paint isn't the problem but speaks to a wider issue of fidelity taking priority over true clarity in games youtu.be/Biay2i3hx_s

Yo money is kinda... really tight right now... and without foodstamps we will struggle to pay rent soon. Anything is appreciated in terms of support for my continued work.

from my recent interview with PAYDAY level designer & RAID WWII creative lead Ilija Petrusic

regarding short development cycles (18 months for a co-op FPS), and publishers expecting playable vertical slices for press events to be ready before, uh, the game itself even *exists*

#PAYDAY #RAIDWWII

i find out later that the people i pissed off were having some difficult conversations with their friends about nazi shit, because i called out the fascist dogwhistle conspiracy crap payday 2 loved to tout about back in 2018.

point being, if you get shit for pointing it out: you're onto something!

the most hate i have ever received was for quipping some of the most dedicated payday 2 secret players, with their white house storming ancient alien conspiracy BS, seem like the kinda people who'd have been at jan 6th. i was told to stop making the game about replacing the president "political" lol

they try to throw teargas, get hitstunned and gas themselves 😈

hey! i see you've got an iconic skyline setpiece that acts as direct color contrast to the enemies you'll be fighting and natural overcast lighting. mind if we introduce some clouds, color bands and hard shadows to the mix? this'll really make it hard to spot those bad guys ,and that's more playtime

your commitment to having mouselook destruction/interaction both makes it stand apart from minecraft and give me ideas for fun set pieces with preset locations to stand and look

optical illusion puzzles one could make by having specific places you're to stand to see interactable items aligned! fun!

i wrote about this exact belief structure last year, wild to see it become a mainstream AI bro defense instead of the implied corollary: sherishaw.net/blog/ever-af...
