This was the chaos dunk that caused the basketball ban

I hear people can be born with yuri cursed techniques but otherwise you're SOL.

A monster with a psychosexually symbolic design. It's headless and has a mouth on its neck stump, from which a bulbous, sinewy tongue emerges. Its hands are fused to the sides of its belly, and from its bellybutton there is a toothed proboscis with a phallic shape. A sharp stinger protrudes from the mouth of the proboscis. Its mouth and groin have herpes-like sores, yellow stains from its proboscis drip down various parts of its body, and its feet have the dark pallor of tissue death. It is both sexually disgusting and sexually predatory.

Also did a lot of refining work on the leeching figure and put together a concept render that looks like the monster made an album cover for its new soundcloud album or something. #indiedev #gamedev #survivalhorror

An image of an office space with a large, crescent shaped desk in the center, untextured laptops arranged across the outside and a translucent orb with a glowing baby filling the space in the middle. The orb is a warm orange color, but one more reminiscent of pus than anything comforting.

A second shot of the previous image, showing the orb from another angle through a doorway.

Switched to a trackball in my left hand a while back because of carpal tunnel issues in my right, hoped to at least get the server racks done before it caught up with this hand as well but those will have to wait. #indiedev #gamedev #survivalhorror

Small genre means you need precision targeting. You should try annoying the #signalis community by advertising your yuri VNs to them, they love lesbians.

The rear view of the leeching figure, which would look relatively normal if not for the lack of a head and the visible tongue, and the darkened feet.

The state of the AAA industry is piss, I'm switching tracks towards indie which is what I always wanted to do but was waiting to get more skilled for. This is the Leeching Figure, monster for a survival horror game I'm in preproduction for. Weight painting time. #indiedev #gamedev #survivalhorror

Unfucked my sleep schedule a bit and got this sculpt done. Also doing early concept work for a survival horror game but that's progressing slowly, handpainted textures are well outside my skillset. Might try to come up with a compromise between procedural and handpainted.

I wonder if the net terminal gene is there

Could classify it as a subgenre of urban survival or "poverty simulators". Hobo: Tough Life, The Slaverian Trucker, and Ostranauts could be put in the same category. Poverty simulator might be the best term for them since they all combine "work games" and survival in some way.

I'd also recommend Obenseuer when it finally reaches 1.0. Most interesting setting and narrative I've seen in a survival crafting game.

That was magnificent, sad that it's over but excited for what you release in the future.

According to a quick search, Proton Drive doesn't use your data for AI training. Only downside is that you don't get as much storage per dollar as other options.

I'm not sure I'll be able to handle this one, The Brotherhood already make great horror in point and click adventure games with no chase scenes.

I still think about the Peter Jackson's King Kong game every now and then.

That's what I've been asking myself lately. I figure there's no point turning back from something you're good at, even moreso in my case where it's the only career path I've cultivated.

The AI in this game is incredibly impressive, especially for a small indie project. If you try to hide in a hallway and killbox them one by one, they have counterplay to it. Coordinated rushes, prefiring the corner as they step out from it, or just plain refusing to come in and waiting you out.

It's free? Disappointing, I wanted to give you more money for your work.

Also ignores the fact that someone who worked on AAA games might need to retrain themselves to work in the artstyles many indie games are using, a risky gamble that takes time they could be using to work on their portfolio and go for another AAA job.

YOU'LL REGRET THIS LATER.

High poly is done, still a few smoothing issues here and there but I think they're minor enough to sculpt out. Fewer roadblocks than I expected, the prop art courses I did definitely paid off in terms of improving my sub-D modeling skills. #3d #3dart #gameart

At the very least, I own more games than I'll be able to play before the next steam sale. The backlog must grow.

I'd also suggest Obenseuer. Great setting and narrative by its own merits, and even moreso for the life sim/survival genre, I think it's going to be considered a cult classic one day.

At least you know you've got the perfect artist if you ever decide to do a full 3D game.

Put together a topster and kept it strictly to what has influenced my sense of aesthetic the most, more or less in order. Blame is the GOAT and someday Nihei will get the recognition he deserves.

Even niche milsim games that are expensive to develop and have target audiences of a few thousand people rarely price themselves that high.

I got too much money from doing this and had to go to urgent care to have it removed.

It's a shame that so few tactical games have tried to match the complexity of the classics like JA2 and Silent Storm. They had their hiccups but the board gamified approach of most newer games just doesn't do it for me.

Mine is to cultivate my opinions until they're stronger than facts and I can domain expand an anti-reality bubble around me.

Great experience.
I think Arctic Eggs is up next. I keep wanting to practice the PSX-ish style a lot of these indie games are doing nowadays but portfolio work is too important to spare any time or energy for it.

15-20 year old games with realistic artstyles still look great if the art direction is on point and the setting interesting. 10 year old games like Alien Isolation and The Witcher 3 still look downright lifelike. Would we really lose anything from going back a bit?
