Joshua Skelton | LOOKING FOR WORK

Whoa! I didn’t know you contributed to this project. I have been excited for it ever since the very early tests.

❤️ wide pixels

Ive been working on the Delver mobile ports for about a month now? And mostly full time?

Turns out I’m crushing it? Problems I’ve been worried about for years are getting fixed! Heck I even got stencil buffers working for our fancy low res glow/shadows.

Every "AI Game" video I see I'm just like, "Wait, doesn't procedural do this exact thing but WAY better?? We already solved this problem?"

Isometric pixelart illustration for Minecraft, while I was working at Mojang. This is meant to show off the world and it's thrills. It lives in the how-to-play section in-game

I'm castpixel, a senior illustrator and art director with more than 20 years of experience (ok, it's 21 years). One of the best pixelartists working today. I'm looking for a project.

Clients: WB Games, Minecraft, SEGA, HASBRO

Hire me! I make your game look good.

Thank you for the kind words Garett. 😀

That really means so much! I appreciate you.

Eventually yes!

I really appreciate that!

So smooth! All the little vertices finally behaving. 🤪

Productive day! I’ve fixed iOS shader issues and Delver feels great on an iPhone!

Screenshot of the video game Delver. It is from a first person perspective featuring low polygon and pixel art. The viewer is standing on mine cart tracks looking down a mine tunnel that fades into darkness. Spider webs cling to the ceiling and glowing green crystals stand next to the right wall. A lantern is to the left, a helmet and arrow are to the front. Mine carts and a torch can be seen in the distance.

📢 I'm looking for work! Seeking a Tech Artist role. 📢

I'm a creative thinker who loves empowering artists, building tools, and streamlining workflows/pipelines. I've been building software for 15+ years, so I know what I'm doing.

PSX wobbly verts eat your heart out! Also ignore the ominous pool of pure black liquid…

iOS looks like it needs a little shader love. 🤪

Any libGDX folks know where I should start looking?

I’m pretty happy with layout! Just need to put some time into Delver with it.

Progress is being made…

But more seriously, no plans.

Depends how long I’m unemployed. 🤪😬😢

Ah. The responsible thing to do.

🤡

Yup! We use libGDX so we are using RoboVM for iOS stuff.

And yes, I'm working on both Android and iOS.

Lately I've been knocking the dust off of Delver Engine and working towards getting mobile builds going. So far it hasn't been _too_ bad, just normal levels of reviving a legacy code base. 😅

Quake CLI Tools by Joshua Skelton Available for Windows, macOS

Did you know I wrote a set of command line tools for Quake? Did you know they are totally free and open source?

Once in a while someone will throw a few bucks my way for these tools and every time it makes my day. 😃

An old sprite cloud experiment i did, trying to recreate Samus Aran in Ballz 3d style, but using animated hex shapes

My boys and I had a blast playing the Kex port split screen!

You probably shouldn’t dig stra.. aaaah!

Love seeing the progress on this project.

What I find beautiful about old technology are the places where it begins to come apart at the seams. Wobbly triangles on the PlayStation, tracking lines on a VCR.

That sweet spot where ambition and constraint begin to have friction.

I don’t know, you could chuck up a small whisk in that baby and really scramble some eggs.

Is this position on-site or remote? I happen to be a senior technical artist looking for my next thing.
