Made a spline-based tree root generator. To further test Spline Mesher's conforming feature. This'll come in handy! #gamedev #unity3d #pcg

Buckle up Raiders, it's 2026 and we've got some exciting stuff in the works.

In the short term, look forward to updates for the Surfpunk demo build! We've got some new cosmetics and gameplay tweaks coming soon.

Have you been enjoying the demo? Let us know what you think!

Some character designs/sculpts from *checks watch* 15 years ago?!?!? These were heavily influenced by animation maquettes by Kent Melton (RIP) and Team Fortress 2.

New VFX based on an another concept by Jeanluc Kol.
I took inspiration from studios like @riotgames.com the creative team behind #teamfighttactics and @theorycraftgames renowned for #Supervive.

Some Godot Impact and Explosion VFX.Since they're composed of multiple different parts I made a script that makes it easy to customize them.

I've honeatly poured my heart out for these

decided to animate the remainder bit! The pug's name is Guns, so I'm thinking of naming the lifeguard dog Roses.

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
