I hope that the big airboxes (centerline cooling) harking back to the 70's are back again across the board.

If Riven taught me anything, it's that you need to listen for frogs to solve this.

Huge shout out to @lmichet.bsky.social for being a phenomenal collaborator. I am remarkably proud of the story we told. Also, huge shout out to the rest of the team for their constant support and feedback. I hope we all get to do it again sometime.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Officially looking for work again! My contract ended a week ago so I'm back on the job market.

If anyone is looking for an experienced character technical director for video games, I know a guy (it's me).

Thank you so much to everyone for the support, it means the world to me ❀️

There are so many amazing devs out of a job right now, and I want to take this opportunity to invite you to post your portfolio in the comments if you are looking for work! I hope my reach can help even just one person.

I'm a few weeks late to posting, but I still can't believe Possessor(s) is out & actual people have played the game.

I'm proud of what we made & honored that I had the opportunity to art direct something that I think is so cool & special with such a talented team.

Here's some art I made for it.

Graphic Design Contest. $500 prize!

The Brooklyn Seltzer Museum needs a graphic to represent the upcoming National Egg Cream Invitational.

We can't afford to pay all submitters, so we're ONLY asking for rough concepts / mock-ups NOT expecting to get any fully fleshed out usable designs for free.

Celebrating the Possessor(s) team πŸ–€ | Notion I am not one to post like this usually, but as things have developed recently, I want to take a minute and get some stuff off my chest.

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.

I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

Hi Friends!

Here is a collection of animation work that I did for Heart Machine's Hyper Light Breaker. All animation is keyframed in Maya and implemented in Unreal Engine 4. ❀️

Thank you very much for your time and interest!

Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

I’m Joel.
Music is one of the most important things in my life.

My whole career, I’ve been making sound for things.
I might have made the sounds in your car.
I made sounds for the robot that did surgery on a grape.
I’ve made music for a lot of games.

I'll make your project sound amazing.
