This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Are there any public plans for a physical release atm?

Today is the tenth anniversary of Firewatch. At times it still feels like “just a few years ago”. I’m incredibly proud of what the team achieved and I’m humbled to have been part of it. It was one of those lighting-in-a-bottle moment of my life and of my career. I’ve been lucky, and (cont)

On the note of DLC, Modnation Racers had a TON of DLC through an in game store that I believe might no longer be accessible, but is at least worth noting if there's since been a way to access it

and now you can watch me yap about it

human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you!!
