Ben Swallow Animation Reel This is "Ben Swallow Animation Reel" by Ben Swallow on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

With my current contract coming to an end, I'm looking for new 3D animation opportunities.
I specialise in stylised gameplay animation, but also have experience with cinematic acting shots.
Let me bring your characters to life! :D

Full disclosure; I’ve worked with awesome interns at studios I’ve been employed at in the past. Those placements were all done as part of university degrees and I think were run in good faith & ultimately benefited the interns more than the studio. I still think there are better alternatives though

Yeah, but even then not many people here seem to know this. And there’s definitely been a few game studios here that have outright exploited internships for free labour.
So I think it’s fair to be very sceptical of the practice, regardless the current state of the industry

The only other way an unpaid internships is legal is if it’s done as part of achieving a recognised qualification (some Universities here have “industry based learning” semesters as part of their degrees and will audit/check any businesses that offer placements)

I’m guessing this might be due to laws around unpaid internships in Australia. They are only legal here if they are done primarily for the benefit of the intern not the business offering it. One way to abide by this is to have the intern NOT work on anything that someone could be employed to do

My most vivid memory from working on this project was an absolutely fantastic bug where a combination of janky physics, under-trained driver AI, and a VERY short and nearly circular track resulted in a literal 50 metre high, swirling vortex of cars that the team immediately dubbed the “Car-nado”

The fact AI is doing more harm to games by increasing the cost of PCs & consoles than AI actually being able to 'make' anything worth playing is certainly a fun little thing to think about whilst I start planning to optimise everything I make to run on a potato.

Same! Absolute game changer!

Goes hard. I can still feel the beige computer I played this on.

I'm going to call this done.
Was fun to dive back into doing Creature Animation.

If anyone wants their dragons animated, or anything animated for that matter, I'm currently looking for new work :)

Are the games industry jobs in the room with us now Mark

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

For a free game The Bridge is certainly not doing "numbers" on itch and honestly I didn't really expect it to. But there is something quite satisfying to see the number of plays & downloads slowly tick up and knowing folks are playing it. With the odd comment like the above absolutely making my day

Got an incredible comment from a player over on @itch.io who not only really liked the game, but also invented their own custom mode/challenge where they only allow two of their gunners to actually fire the cannons (forcing the third to never leave the back line)

it's out now!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3811020/... #BLASTERMANCER

I'm In This Photo and I Don't Like It.

Grey (6) seems the most functional for visibility, but I totally see how it clashes with the existing palette. Maybe a violet (13) outline would fit in better?

Hi all! 🦝
I'm looking for a new position as a game design lead / director!

I've been designing games for almost 15 years now (😳) with 6 of those as a lead, on anything from AAA transmedia worlds to experimental indie projects.

My website: robin-v.net

Please share! (and friends, say hi!) 💜

An update: Unfortunately Freeplay didn’t secure multi-year funding and is potentially looking at its last year of operation. We’re exploring what comes next & want your input.

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or luke@aftermath.site, thank you!

🚨thiiiiiiiis is feeling good 👇👇👇

I am on the lookout for a contract games designer for paid work. Preferably with experience in Unreal and at least 1 shipped game (due to the responsibilities).

Remote Australia, VIC preference but not required.

Send them my way for a chat!

My kid Tom loves drawing cities, so we made a game where you can draw them like he does! Go play Tom City here -> tomanddad.itch.io/TomCity

It’s getting a few minor changes here and there to make it work digitally, but most of the original board game SHOULD make it into this game

Sounds like a good fit, emphasises the oppressive and threatening atmosphere of the game (rather than sudden intense moments of fear)

YouTube video by Beyond The Scanlines Darius Extra (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis): Huge Battleships Are Approaching Fast!

NEW VIDEO! The last Scanlines for the year is APPROACHING FAST, and it's a look at Darius Extra for the #megadrive/#genesis, which shows off a neat case of a fan project going legit and filling an ever so unique gap!

As well as being a fantastic shmup!
