The #TTRPG gameshow returns with Monster Daddy, Michael Sands as benevolent judge. Watch Keepers Rev, Apollo and Calamity create Monster of the Week content with needlessly arbitrary restrictions and a short time limit!

All I am holding the line for in this strike is the right to say no to being fed to AI. I know this will limit my career in the future. I don't care.

My acting is not about $$. Acting is about taking my experiences to show others they can survive unthinkable things. I cannot give that to a robot.

I know there's been a lack of #ThrowbackThursday from me lately; I've been busy re-working my showreel and updating my website's landing page

My general advice for game developers (of all scales) right now:

1) Build smaller things
2) Lean into emergent gameplay to make those small things big
3) Build them quickly with a smaller team
4) Community is critical

If you want *specific* advice for what you’re building? Let me know

Thats gorgeous and tiny and everything I've ever learned makes me fear for how close that persons finger is to it

I heard a tapping at my window, and it was Artoo singing for peanuts! I wanted to record for longer, but also I'm a big softie and felt bad about making him wait when he's so polite. 😄 #birds

Artists are magic

You are magic ✨

An extremely ornate ceremonial halberd head showing etched and blackened designs with various plants, mythical creatures, and heraldic designs.

A closeup of the shoulder intersection of the cuirass, pauldron, and bevor of a piece of 1500s field armor. Some ornate etching of the crucifixion is visible in the lower right corner on the cuirass.

More Dumping Ground for #ThrowbackThursday!

I joined in with Kilogramme a fair few times to update rigs and do short animations; I love this one in particular because there's so much going on but it still feels well paced.

I think i'm like a 6; people don't seem afraid to approach me but they definitely pick me out as someone big enough to approach when they need help, if that makes sense

Charge me $7 dollars for a salad but make it fucking sing. Give me a fully balanced nutrient profile and more distinct textures than my dog's favorite chew toy. Make me weep for the carnivores that will never experience this plant based medley. Give me a new request for death row.

For so many reasons.

honestly that particular bird looks like it's inelegantly tripped off an unexpected ledge and has been captured in the final few fleeting seconds of embarrassment before a face first plunge into the snow, but generally i'd agree!

trying this.

#ThrowbackThursday; Something a bit more recent, I made some 3D assets for James May's 'Our Man In Italy' title sequence.

I *love* doing 3D for 2D and I really think I nailed this one.

For #PreviewTuesday this week i'm reposting my #GlobalGameJam game.

It's about 5-10 minutes depending how good you are at #platformer games; supports Keyboard and Controller (no touchscreen support yet, sorry!)

#ThrowbackThursday! Here's one of my favourite rigs I ever made; a cool squishy tentacle for a series of Kaspersky short films.

Whenever I animate a clip like this secretly hope it gets giffed. Obviously something I need to take care of myself!

I recently got into a debate about whether or not BlueSky is viable for marketing an Indie game.

So here, lets see how many wishlists we get from this post.
(Yes there is a non-VR mode for steam)

Sick, thats my next one shot sorted!

A gray, white, and blue Bluejay is perched on a branch with other branches around it. The background is light blue sky.

Bluejay

When nature color coordinates...

although no I can't see how it would- I guess it doesn't need to though with proper grouping... I need to go do some tests

Oh damn this is so obvious in hindsight! I assume this carries scale info with it too?
