Ye given their talent is what brings people in. Doing stuff like this to constrain their artists as well as pay disparities essentially can pressure anyone to leave... Its a string of bad business moves. I know when a group gets big, constraints happen, but it feels like theyre taking a huge loss.

True, there's nothing fun in the tech space. Most CPUs are red lined out of box and Nvidia specifically doesn't let partners make extreme or weird variants anymore. Hardware is also just unaffordable now due to speculation rather than an actual real world event. LTT also does have an AI use problem.

Question
Anyone here stop watching Linus Tech Tips after all the talent left to start their own channels?
Past/current drama aside, the entertainment factor is basically gone now imo. Everything just seems tired and drawn out now.

DOUBLE DRAGON GAIDEN - ALL DLC Cast and Playable Characters just released! FOR FREE😍

I have been meaning to ask, but its slipped my mind more times than I can count!

A joke for portfolio day. Surrounded by 8 squares that say NDA or Non-Disclosure Agreement is a Male with glasses, long hair, a beard, and a santa hat with gag moose horns on it, holding a large orange long haired cat.

Its #portfolioday
Check out all the pixel art Ive done in the last 6 months!
(note: I'm the cat!) #pixelart

a screenshot of a low poly character. The character is a girl with long green hair and short spiky bangs, blue eyes, magenta pants with a light magenta bow in front as a belt tie. A sky blue robe like top that crosses over the front of the torso.

Back to this one from my emergency vet bill coms.
She's actually pretty close to being done, most of the work left is in detail. I'm hoping to finish her before I head home so I'll have two models ready to be rigged and two that still need modeling.

More map demos! Originally, you were going to have a sequence of battles on & inside the boat after it took off, but that design got scrapped D: However, it's still a defining tactical element for this map. #srpg #tacticsrpg #lowpoly #indiedev #madewithunity

Vertical levels have played awesome so far with all the different movement options in the game. This one becomes a madhouse once enough casters are in the mix. XD #srpg #tacticsrpg #lowpoly #madewithunity #indiedev

Very nice. I do the same thing on mine, something about hand painting the lights or shadows is such a vibe. Thats some really solid tile optimization for your level of detail too!

I've been watching this for years, ages even. Cant wait to play it!
Check it out guys. Give it a wishlist too.

Recently I added a little debug camera animation for testing map angles & culling. It also happens to be perfect for showing off battle stages! Here's a recent addition, I had a ton of fun making this one. #srpg #tacticsrpg #lowpoly #indiedev #madewithunity

A very pretty set!
Just curious. I assume you bake a lot of your lighting in. What res do you run textures(or texture tiles on average) at?

The only people I can see not enjoying it are those who dont like psych horror, like key jingle in face slop, or horror hyper fans.
While its a bit long for trad indie horror, I think its still worth the watch. This is from someone who thinks a movie thats 2+ hrs long should be a tv series instead.

I saw #IronLung last Friday. No spoilers, it was very enjoyable. Going in with very little Markiplier viewings under by belt and zero knowledge of the game, I was fully immersed into the movie. It follows both indie horror and trad horror notes you'd see in all of the classics. Would recommend.

Perfect!

D'you ever get a stupid idea in your head and then you can't do anything else until you get it out? 🎣

Happy Halloween!
That haunted house is just for jokes, right?

Our first #lowpoly from my cats emergency fundraiser is done!
Well technically he needs to be revived, a rig, and to be posed still, but he's basically done!

Thanks @somedumbtank.newgrounds.com for the comm!

I'll probably rig it to pose and do a "with wireframe" turnaround to cap this one off in the near future. I just need to get the pose info from the client.

The UV process is quite lengthy compared to Crocotile, though that skill does carry to all 3D design rather than just lowpoly. There are useful settings like snap to pixel corner for UV and unfiltered layered shader options that let you push it further.
Cant wait to see how your animation comes out!

There's a joint connection behind each part even if its covered by other parts. Just in case it ever shows.
