update on Asher's Slime game💚 The dungeon's popularity is plummeting! Only the Slime can make it fun again. Lots of magic sodas are needed to get the job done. #indiegame #gamedev #techart #slime #game

@DMeville @FechePedroza irst time seeing ignorance glorified that way😂 imagine thinking bsdf is expensive in 2025 nice results dylan!

@FechePedroza Also this shader looks pretty af <3

Custom Substrate BSDF with Toon lighting, and shadowmasked rimlights! All ported to UE5.7 and UE5-Main! Woohooo

This happens during combat / lock on as well. Details like this greatly reduce the chance of motion sickness, because "my viewpoint moves when I didn't expect it to" is the biggest cause of your brain thinking "something is wrong we must be poisoned".

Been studying 3rd person camera and discovered a neat trick from Zelda Walls blocking camera is commonly solved by moving the viewpoint closer. However when the wall is moved away, Link's camera doesn't immediately jump to its original 3rd person position, instead only slowly recovers when there is user input.

🐦‍⬛I love making games, but there are others who seem to enjoy cancelling them more. So, I’ve decided to take a break and share my knowledge with people who truly care and love what they do. Welcome to🖤 EmberShade🖤, my independent lighting art creative agency.

@Demruth Id pity them but their attempt of enshitification to fit the world to their shape is getting really old 👿

@Vuthric "I didn't work my whole life becoming who I am today to be a piece of shit." Unfortunately, I think a lot of other people did work their whole life to be the biggest piece of shit they could be, if that's what made the most money. :P

The thing I hate most about generative 'ai' art is when I see something actually good. I know a real artist did that style very well, and someone else drew her hair in this specific way I love and want to see more. But there is no way to know more about the artists who the 'ai' stole from. 'ai' art doesn't have real value but is getting better at theft and attracting eyeballs. It's disrespectful. Many reputable game companies I know are rolling out no-ai policy, my team among them. I don't care that stealing can be profitable. I didn't work my whole life becoming who I am today to be a piece of shit.

🗺️Places I visited + my lighting project + atmospheric lighting data. 📔Fog study diary link in the reply. 🌥️Exterior lighting is a system, where directional and sky light working together like a choir. I love begin with neutral fog, let the light blend quietly. #UE4 #Lighting

@BramTempelaere I loved your little c̶a̶s̶t̶l̶e̶ ice cream shop!

@Vuthric Love seeing updates on this project!! super excited to see more!!

I'm looking for a freelance 3D character animator to bring our humanoids to life💓 hmu with your portfolio if hitting the slime with a huge bell hammer sounds like your thing (more permanent positions available after we are fully funded :) #animation #indiedev #gamedev

Thanks for all your DMs! I woke up to way too many animation showreels than I expected, a lot of which are spectacular and humbling, others inspiring with passion. I'll sort through everything in a day or two and also try to give as much constructive feedback as I can ❤️

I am very excited, and nervous, to announce Pocketpair Publishing! Also, personal news... I am now the Communications Director and Publishing Manager at Pocketpair! BIG things coming...we've been working on this for so long! Stay tuned for MORE!

@shr_id The caustics are gorgeous 😍
