The intro title shot from the PS3 game Journey. This is from the finished game. The title "Journey" is displayed above a distant mountain, with the player character seeing it from atop a sand dune.
The intro title shot from a work in progress version of Journey. The title's font is different, the composition is asymmetrical, and the distant mountain is not as tall as the final version.
My initial sketch for the title shot for the game Journey. A simple, small line drawing featuring the player character in the foreground and the mountain in the distance.
10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated:
I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.
Check out a little snippet of the surfing gameplay in Sword of the Sea! #gamedev

In The Pathless, you control a fast and acrobatic archer we call the Hunter. It's important to us that players, regardless of gaming skill or experience, can easily become and act like the Hunter- a character with heroic aiming skill.
This thread is about how we designed the game's unique archery.
We’ve created a starter park for totally awesome indie studios who have games that deserve to be out in the wild.

The game I wish I could recommend to everyone, but moving a camera in 3D space is hard enough, let alone trying to fly a spaceship without crashing!
18.11.2024 16:51 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of my #procedural animation to hand-authored animations on some models I bought. This is so I can better study what I need to improve.
When I got my comparison tool running for the first time, this is what I was greeted with! Step-height glitch I think. 😅
How does Sword of the Sea achieve dynamic surfing on a hoversword over moving terrain?
