"it's out. the road getting to this point really resembles what the game itself ended up becoming. if you give it a go, i love you for it."

Cube-based environment art (along with melos’s “auto-cuber” tool) allows for the efficiency and complex secrets-hinting of 2D tilesets combined with the benefits of 3D lighting and atmosphere. Large “EnviroChunks” with flexible triplanar materials quickly establish setting in the background of scenes. Gestural vertex colors quickly and beautifully define characters that pop against the environment and look good small or large onscreen. iNaturalist.org can be an amazing resource for game artists, featuring species id and many public domain community photos of life on Earth! Matcap materials are good for creating shiny or translucent objects while maintaining a simplified/stylized look.

Angeline Era is out NOW!!! ^.^ here's a breakdown of some elements and techniques I used to create the HUGE visual world of Era. Ultra-dense action and secrets meant a bigger focus than ever on visual clarity and communication! ⚔️🔍

See it in action!!

Also, if you're a streamer, video essayist, or otherwise make videos on games and want to get on one of the hottest things in indie games (Indiepocalypse and more importantly the games within) let me know and I'll be more than happy send over a copy!

Someone who picked up Indiepocalypse at PRGE showed off some Indiepocalypse on a stream in case you want that more hands on look but have yet to come across it person.

Thank you so much! Being able to get out and meet people is one of the main reasons I go to events.

It could only be more egregious if, while tabling at an event, someone came up to me, described exactly what I do and said how wished someone would do that.

And when I tell them "i kinda do that" they would look me dead in the eye and say "it doesn't count when you do it".

I've relaxed on and mostly written off Online as "it is what is" and focused much more on events, but if anything pulls me back into the game it'll be this.

Though on a good day I can write it off as sloppy research, a big site talking about physical indie releases and getting as specific as "selling games on usb in cassette cases" and still not mention my work is the greatest curse that will likely ever be inflicted on me.

It's a fresh new week and there's a fresh new Indiepocalypse for you to check out! A selection of hand curated games neatly packaged and presented every month.

Yes to both!

Leaving it up to Weekday Andrew to pick this one up.

It's too much for A Weekend Post, but I am currently filled with the urge for games culture to not feel so utterly detached from what is an expressive, thriving, and expansive independent game scene.

A large collection of comics and zines spread on the floor

Went to MICE and bought a lot of comics. Make you go to BostonFIG tomorrow and buy a lot of games.

(from me, to offset the a lot of comics pictured (and support indie devs making cool stuff))

It's Indiepocalypse #71! If you don't what this is what are you doing? (check it out! (and welcome if you are just first checking it out!!))

-10 curated games for $15!
-Zine!
-Newly commissioned game by @tayl1r.itch.io

Did *you* see that the latest Indiepocalypse (the unique monthly curated collection of indie games ~6 years running) came out but hours ago today?

(because it did)

Just as well! I realized my sorted list just points you to the issues, not the actual games so you'd probably need to basically go issue by issue anyway.

So far as I could tell from the log last night everything was fine, so I definitely wouldn't have caught it!

Thanks! I think itch was having server trouble last night so it looks like my upload didn't take. Put the zine up real quick so people could buy it while the proper release uploads.

Want to be on Indiepocalypse Radio (the #1 Indiepocalypse-related radio show) or know someone else you want to hear on the show?
