Again there's a lot to call out here (those pad graphics are likely AI, and will never pass cert, and nor should you ever display all platform's controllers in one build) but clipped text on a UI element can be any number of legit issues.

I dont think that particular callout is fair. I wouldn't have wanted someone to spend time on rope IK before full gameplay, IK stuff is largely polish stage.

Recommend? I'm not a souls fan in the slightest but this one intrigues me for switch 2

We provided VFX and lighting support for GOALS, helping bring its fast, responsive football gameplay to life. Take a closer look at our collaboration with the GOALS team: tuataragames.com/work/GOALS #GOALS #gamedev #realtimeVFX #VFX #UnrealEngine

Just remembered when someone made a fan game of a game I'm working on and haven't yet released. Initially I was a bit taken aback but in hindsight that's one of the biggest compliments I can recall??? Really cool.

The Among Us thing is great.

I so desperately wanted to like that game as a kid but it just wasnt possible

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

In a way it's quite nice to have a locked in version that you don't ever consider moving from. Not that anyone asked

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Really sorry to hear this dude. I'll say I think a lot of us have had... Interesting dealings with indie game "studios" before now, I've definitely got some howling stories. Always down for a chat about any of this stuff or a sniff test in the future

ahahha, wow. It's been a while since I've been to develop but I dont remember it being worth that. Also, hot take but personally starting to resent it taking place during kids summer holidays

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

my boy's been playing these poppy playtime games recently and I swear the "near death" bloody screen effect uses the unreal default texture (mold) - which you've got to just respect it at that point

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

I love it. Most use mine gets is running ps2 and gamecube classics on it it's perfect for it. It's also great to test your games out on of course, feels nice to test on something akin to a console.

Keep getting social media posts from a particular "interactive" account that's claiming to revolutionize gameplay locomotion whilst only showing the GASP sample. Absolutely infuriating.

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Nice! I've got a soft spot for wrestling moves turning up in games that didnt really need them. Hybrid Heaven was the first I remember!

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Sounding a bit threat interactivey there mate

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

This is something I've come to realise recently too, maybe for different reasons but same concept. Scoping up a new project and I feel like it doesnt need the worlds best or indepth mechanics; let the world building, theming and direction guide the experience. Let the world be the enjoyment factor

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Hopefully have some good news for you pretty soon. Gameplay is now pretty locked down

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Little did I know id still be dealing with the fallout of this in 2026

You too buddy have a good Christmas!

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

I feel like this is the secret nowadays. People are sleeping on light maps in favour of realtime and honestly, baked lighting still kills it. You have me wondering about how good it'd look even without material maps. It'd probably hold up great

Alex @alexu.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

maybe we can reclaim it

Yeah its honestly still not great especially for gamepad nav. I heard CommonUI is now the focus and goes some way (??) to solving it as an issue, but I havent looked at it properly and have my doubts.

Crash Test Dummies on SNES. Objectively a bad game but I have a lot of memories playing it as a kid, I used to love the toys so I tried to find the good in the game.

Have you considered artstation? It's considered as a standard here for game artists, concept artists etc to have their portfolios on. Might be worth a look.

I’m back and looking for work. Anyone in the wrestling business needs merch, a band wants an album cover, book cover. Anything you need, I will do pretty much anything. Hit me up.

Everything feels so serious now and caught up in being presented just like the real thing and I miss exaggerated proportions, flaming special bars and snappy animations

Been going down a mid-2000s extreme sports game rabbit hole recently and I think sports games have really lost something since they moved away from that arcade style and light heartedness. There's not much to fill the gap that SSX/THPS/EA Big left behind imo.
