I've neglected to post about this on my personal Bluesky so far, but I worked on a game for the GMTK 2025 Game Jam with some friends. It was an awesome experience, even if the game launched non-functional. It works now though, and we have our first feature patch! Check it out on Itch!

Update 0.1.2.0! Hello everyone! Today we’re pushing a new update to Splashdown with a few quality of life features. We still have more coming, and this represents a promise for more! Animated the main menu so it’...

I appreciate all the feedback! This assignment was a while ago now, but getting this advice was still great to see

A picture of a PC monitor, showing the Unreal Engine editor starting. Its progress sits at 45%, the point at which Unreal Engine compiles shaders. Still 5,230 to go...

WOO I LOVE SHADER COMPILATION

That's all he was?? My goodness! In my classes, the lowest polycount I've had for a final model was still probably a few thousand! What a cool challenge to try to work in now though. Thanks for the reply!

Oh, and if I may, what was his texture resolution? Any texture maps other than base colour?

@gamefabricator.bsky.social Any chance you'd remember the polycount of some of the Halo CE models? I'm making a game very much inspired by its visual style, and I want to try to stick to the original Xbox constraints to some degree

A drawn image of two D&D characters sharing their first kiss. On the left, an aasimar monk sits cross-legged and has his eyebrows raised. On the right, a pallid elf paladin leans toward the aasimar's face. They press their lips together. The two sit on a simple bed, silhouetted by moonlight to the image's left and bathed in firelight from a hearth behind the "camera" of the drawing. The kiss these two share is simple and warm

Happy Valentine's Day! To celebrate, here's a piece I've been working on lately. 2 of my D&D campaign's PCs finally kissed after a year of both in-game and IRL time. I had to draw it! It's not quite done yet, but I'm so pleased with where it's at so far

If you're interested in trying it out, check out my previous posts for the itch.io link for the starter rules. I appreciate any feedback you may be willing to share!

Oh! It turns out I've been added to a "Best Canadian TTRPG Follows" starter pack! I hardly think I'm deserving of that title, but it's a fantastic development. Thank you! And welcome new followers!

I'm making Veiled Blades, a stealth action TTRPG inspired by crunchy RPGs and stealth video games

I might need to use this technique pretty soon, this is sweet

This definitely speaks to me. As much as we may love playing and running these games, anything becomes a chore if we do it too much

A few of my friends were there tonight too! I hope it was a good show, though I have no doubt it was

TTRPG fans! Today I take my first foray into my original system, Veiled Blades. I have published the starter rules on Itch, and would love to get feedback from the wider RPG world. I hope you enjoy!

Seems like your biomes are different between the chunks the building's on

A picture of a drawing display on a desktop, with the 3D sculpting program ZBrush displayed on it. Above the display is a sticky note, with various useful shortcuts for ZBrush written on it, placed on the primary monitor of this computer setup. In ZBrush, the user has sculpted a compass rose with four rings attached between its four cardinal points. The points of the rose have been decorated with floral patterns similar to what might be seen on a decorated crucifix

A screenshot taken from inside ZBrush, showing 3/4 view of a compass rose with four rings attached between its four cardinal points. The points of the rose have been decorated with floral patterns similar to what might be seen on a decorated crucifix, and there is a raised circle in the middle of the compass rose. The rings between the compass points are studded with small holes, meant to be settings for gemstones. This design is referred to as a Quaternity Compass, a symbol created by the modeller for his homebrew D&D world's main faith

I've finally started learning ZBrush. I'm still getting used to the UI, but I'm happy with my results so far!

If #SpiderVerse is a comic book, Venom would be ink spilled onto the page.

This is the idea that inspired me to animate this shot of #Venom. I rotoscoped every frame of my 3D animation with India ink, then scanned it back into the computer. It took 2 months but I’m happy with it! #animation #b3d

Gorgeous photos! The first picture especially made me think of New Mombasa in H3 ODST

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen.

We just want to make cool stuff for people.

Would anyone be willing to offer advice for this animation for school? I need the hammer to feel heavier, mainly, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around how to accomplish that. Bigger settles/antics? Longer spacing between when the hammer lifts? Thanks to anyone for their help!

Gosh, I love ✨devices✨

Congratulations, Japan!

Feels like Snake learning some new disguise techniques! Kojima would be proud

A front view (sorta between full front and 3/4, so like 7/8?) of a 3D modeled head in progress, with no textures. Currently features open eye sockets and rudimentary hair

A side view (sorta between full side and 3/4, so like 5/8?) of a 3D modeled head in progress, with no textures. Currently features open eye sockets and rudimentary hair with a high ponytail

More character modeling! I'm starting to feel really good about where this is going

If you're a creator who:

- Takes long break periods
- Creates very slowly
- Has another full time job or engagement
- Struggles with productivity
- Is inconsistent

I'm sorry to tell you...

YOU'RE STILL A VALID CREATOR BECAUSE CREATING IS TIED TO PASSION, NOT PRODUCTIVITY 💜✨️

Thank you very much! I'm glad that comes across clearly!

A comic panel with a full-page wide shot of a robotic character staring out at a burning city. The robot carries a sci-fi rifle and looks in frozen terror at the scene before him. The sky is red and streaked with lightning, like cracks in the sky itself. The high-rise buildings in the mid-ground are bathed in red light from the sky, and have flames burning in various places along their heights. A rectangular text bubble in the bottom right corner reads "This must be the end..."

Here's a test panel for a web comic I'm planning out! For my first attempt at anything comic-related, I'm pretty happy with it
