10 years ago today @thatgamecompany released #Journey. I was the art director. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.

@malukah @awintory @GiantSquidology Thank you so much Malukah! Im so glad your singing is in the Sword of the Sea. I remember hearing it for the first time and being just amazed at how it instantly elevated the game. Thank you!

For Sword of the Sea, my performances included a number of beautiful drone flutes, including a massive Mayan harmony drone which you can distinctly hear all over the score. Thank you once again @awintory @GiantSquidology, and to Eagle Feather, this amazing instrument's maker 🪈♥️

Yooo, Sakurai San included a clip from ABZÛ in this episode! Amazing! Check out his whole Youtube series, it’s brilliant, charming stuff. Thank you, sir! You are an inspiration to game devs everywhere.

So endlessly grateful for @matt_nava & @GiantSquidology in my life. Nevermind the intense artistry but just the most gracious and dream collaborators. This photo was taken mere days from the covid lockdowns, and finishing PATHLESS was one of those things that kept me sane in 2020

@awintory's music has been the heartbeat of our games, guiding players through unforgettable adventures. As you blow out the candles remember: just like the ocean, your creativity knows no bounds! Celebrate Austin's bday and drop your favorite track from his repertoire below 👇

Surfing in Sword of the Sea feels magical, and so much of that is owed the fantastic animation work our lead animator Joel Finney @izzyLizard has done. We took a novel approach to driving it, which makes it extremely fluid and responsive. Check out how it works in this blogpost!

Can we as an industry right now to decide on a new name for "AI" in games (as in npc behaviour trees etc.) then we agree to use that new name forevermore to avoid conflation between game AI and LLMs/genAI/ML pitch your names

@lucky_clan Hey, I just got the new ipad and am testing the barrel rotation. I find the current implementation hard to use, I hope you can update it to rotate constantly in realtime, like in apple notes. I wrote more feedback in the forum. Please update it, thanks! luckyclan.com/forum/index.ph…

@lucky_clan This looks excellent, I am really excited about the barrel rotation feature. In the video, it looks like rotating pops up a window- can the angle update continuously during paint strokes, and can that window pop up be disabled? I think that would feel more natural to me.
