This past year I got the chance to update our bruise texture system, it was a lot of fun to research all of ways bruises appear and what shapes they take.

Iโ€™ll be doing a live demo on Sept 18th for Gnomon School, showing my costume design for character process.

One of the best parts of our game dev process is getting to design costumes for our fictional characters and working with the team to really hone in on solid design. The whole process is fun.

I love that feeling when you wait long enough and rewatch a movie you have seen before and it feels kinda new. ๐Ÿ™‚

IMOโ€ฆ I think itโ€™ll become more apparent as more AI is used by non artist to make things, regardless of of the tools art requires a good eye for composition and color, mood, etc. and graphic design even more so, a lot of the slop will start to blend togetherโ€ฆ.

Iโ€™m a huge fan of story and @dontnod.bsky.social never fails to deliver a solid storyโ€ฆ โ€œ Life is Strangeโ€ was such a good game I had to give this a tryโ€ฆ the pacing felt slow at first but then delivered a gut punch and twist so Iโ€™m really enjoying it. Check it out.

A work in progress screenshot featuring Criticality with grievous injuries, impaled by several weapons, his mechanical workings exposed and dragging on the floor. Barely visible is Adra's leg, which he clutches onto as he peers up at them with his inscrutable fractured helm.

Stopped getting delivery food, now I only go to small places for takeout and almost every time they have given me a soda or some random discount and thatโ€™s just such a nicer experience then some random discount on an app.

We've been working on adjusting the lighting in our snowy, open-world Tandar level to feel a little more dim, distant, and tinged with unease. What'cha think, friends? โ„๏ธ

Agreed, people are allowed to disagree or not see the world the same way but we should all treat each other with respect, because at the core of a lot of things is simply other humans trying to live and survive, while navigating a plethora of lies and misinformation. I try to give everyone grace.
