📢 CONTENT CREATORS 📢 I'm giving away launch keys to creators who want an exclusive first look at Away From Life! My survival game with over 40k wishlists. If you love open-world castaway adventures, request a key on my Keymailer 👇

The time has come again! We're looking for quest design interns at Guerrilla! grnh.se/p6xx27ai4us

Can’t wait!

If this doesn't have a camera bob that will make me throw up if I play too long then we can't call it a spiritual successor! (Also please have a camera bob toggle so I can play this incredible endeavor otherwise I'll throw up.)

@StasisGame Love it, that looks super rad.

We need to generate a lot of cool looking tech in the game - and while we have a lot of hand crafted elements - finding unique ways to combine them to build things is HARD. We have one artist... me... and I'm lazy. So I created this 'Machine Shop'. It uses a Polyomino shape base to construct a shape based off a grid - and the populates details on that grid according to a set of rules. It then adjusts the elements as needed to avoid clipping - and spawns in the points needed for the wires and pipes to be connected to each other. The wires and pipes will try to intelligently find 'sockets' to travel to - either favoring connecting to a computer server, power node, and piece of equipment. The workflow is fairly non destructive - so you can go in by hand and alter anything as needed.

Wishlisted! Looks great!

Exciting times ahead :)

@Rebellion @gameinformer This looks amazing. I can't to see more gameplay.

Rebellion, the studio behind Sniper Elite and Atomfall, has announced Alien Deathstorm, a first-person shooter set on an alien planet ravaged by storms and swarming with monstrous creatures. gameinformer.com/xbox-partner-p…

This looks so cool…

@undeadchro It’s looking great! Can’t wait to play it!

Most zombie games feel too ‘gamey’ to me, I want something else. One of the main reasons I started creating Undead Chronicles is simple: I love zombie games, but too many of them feel… safe. Not brutal. Not disturbing. Too “gamey.” One thing I love about TLOU is that it feels very brutal. My goal is to change that a bit and not play safe. I want every encounter to feel raw, heavy, and genuinely unsettling and also scary. Satisfying, brutal zombie combat is the #1 priority for the demo.

@NatureDeveloper That looks amazing.

You don't need any external tools to create nice cliffs with our Coast & Dunes - Environment Set. With 100% scanned and perfectly tiled cliffs, the landscape spline will handle the whole wall for you without repetition. If you need some control, move, scale, rotate, or change the section's seed inside the spline. You can find it on FAB. #CreatedwithFab #MadeWithUnreal #gamedev #indiedev @fab @UnrealEngine

@SverunGames It's looking great!

game glitched out and now we're here beating the guy to death with bread #indiegame

I am looking for a new role making stylized Environment Art and/or leading an environment art team. I worked at Moonshot on Wildgate, was Lead Environment Artist on Overwatch 2, and shipped games with a small team at Torn Banner lucasannunziata.com #gamedev #unreal #ue5

@StasisGame It's also just perfect for kit bashing, and layering with other objects. As a level designer, I would get a lot of mileage out of an asset like that. It looks great!

@PatrickBlank Agreed! I also generally try to stay away from anything that’s gives away too much scale. So it could be a meter long, or sit inside a smaller machine - or be a huge structural beam that’s far in the distance. Being able to play with scale opens up so many more opportunities.

Something that helps me rapidly produce models is making my own simple texture atlas kits. Ill start with a high res kit - and then make an atlas to match it by rendering out the 'top' views. This ensures the textures are matched - and the elements can be easily mixed as needed. And honestly, often I don't even touch the mid poly pieces - building with the cards is very quick, and the meshes are optimized out the gate.

#ResidentEvilRequiem finished! Took me 14 hours if anybody is curious. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the DLC.

@roger_creus_art Yea I was dying. Lol

@PatrickBlank xDD It's hilarious specially the last time with the rocket launcher lol.

Mission Improbable. Source engine.

Tyler is amazing!
