I'm looking into commissioning a proper marketing wallpaper for the new update actually, so when that happens I'll definitely let you know! In the meantime I have this one I did for the OST that might work for you 🙏

Working on ABYSS .3, lots of new stuff, features and performance/loading improvements for the Vita! 🦾 Stupid white bottom corners courtesy of the win 11 squircle shitbox I captured on, just let me have corners. #abyss #indiegame #gamedev #vitaisland

One of the things I added this weekend was Critters, and after having watched one too many @anyaustin.bsky.social videos I made sure that they can land if you scare them off 🐝 #CRUST #gamedev #indie #screenshotsaturday

Again, I managed to make a custom PBR solution run 60 fps on the PS Vita, on a 128 MB vram budget. I feel like people just forgot how to optimize stuff.

Strange how signs do that! Got Stranger's Wrath for the xbox when it came out, I still replay it every so often 🤠

I'd never let AI near any of my projects, anything I don't do myself I commission. I'm currently making CRUST, a cozy Mad Max and Wind Waker inspired game about finding yourself! 📸 I also make games for the PS Vita about angry robots/cyborgs with guns! 🔫 balderdragonslayer.itch.io

Continuing the home building streak with Patchmasters Workshop. 🏗️ With that I also added his sewing machine and two new jackets. 🧵 Also redid the rendering a bit, again 🙈 #CRUST #gamedev #indie #screenshotsaturday

Maybe I'm just doing stuff backwards, but I'm never disappointed. 🤔 I just do what feels good or right for the game and then it turns out pretty cool most of the time, haha. It's more like I'm discovering my game as I make it, and it's always a joy to see where they end up!

From a recent event, friend brought his old fancy film camera for maximum vibes, the grain really adds to the grimy restroom I feel. 📸

All of these are such a vibe, but Max Payne is just on a different level. Such an amazing use of photo textures and light, looks just as good as I remember. This makes me want to pick up and old prototype of mine, need to bring back the grimy game cities!

I knew I had Wind Waker on the moodboard for a reason! 🍃 Cinder's car isn't as talkative as the King of Red Boats though. Still wip of course, you're supposed to sink after a bit 🤫 #CRUST #gamedev #indiegame #indie

Haha, thank you, it's nice to do stuff that isn't rusty robots for a bit! He's the Patch Master, he makes you patches based on photos you give him. 🐂 They're all a mix of people I've met in punk or underground circles, media I like or grew up with and brainstorming art sessions with my partner!

That's the way it should be I think, and the final models are absolutely fire! 👀 On ECHO we did similar stuff, me and Martin would sit down and do sketches on postits, haha, then it was my job to turn the vibes into something real.

My stance is that there is no such thing as "pre-concept", it's just different stages of polished concept art. My concepts looks like this, then I go straight to 3D. The "concept art" that ends up in the art book that people are familiar with is usually made or polished after the game is finished.

The bonus with developing PBR for a 14 year old console is that my games will run on anything now and still look okay! You know, since no-one can afford RAM or GPUs anymore. 🤓 Not doing a full thread now, but here's a little video of my character shader. #abyss #indiegame #gamedev #vitaisland
