bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 08/10/2026🛒 A bit of progress on the mine texturing. This is proving to be quite the enterprise with many pieces and a lot of different materials 🪨🪵🪩 The metal has been particularly tough to bring around convincingly #gamedev #gameart # 0112
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 25/09/2026📦 I did a pass on the good ol' video game classics "crate & barrel". Featuring a slightly leaky barrel and dynamite crate🧨 Getting back in the groove, the results feel quite yummy (not sure why 😅) #gamedev #gameart 192

bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Échange super intéressant. Avoir des discussions sur les méandres créatifs par les créateurs eux même est d'une rareté sans nom ! 120
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Phew! It's been a hot minute there. Started texturing the desert world. It is a struggle to get through the motivation mud to get creativity rolling again. My paintbrush feels rusty... 🖌️ #gamedev #gameart 0111
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The main trick has been to replace the double-sided shader with a front facing only. The center of the cabbage like outer shell being culled and empty, I filled it with planes facing the other way having less impact on the AO. Feels like a dirty trick, but it worked ! 000
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Speaking about vegetation... here is a tumbleweed! 🪵 I was unsatisfied how the AO interacted with the shader on the first go. So I ended up hacking my way through to a more subtle bushy look. 🪄 I think it is my favourite asset of the set🙂 #gamedev #gameart 181
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 30/06/2026I feel like we are not at cutting the branch we're sitting on anymore, we are straight up burning the whole tree... 000
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I vouch for "interaction fidelity" not graphical fidelity/realism. I think immersion in games comes in many other forms than simply the image we see. 000

bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 05/05/2026⛏️ I struck a vein of new meshes ! Those little props are a good practice to get back comfortable in the groove. Hopefully I soon be able to get more chances to do more 🤞 #gamedev #gameart 061

bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 05/05/2025🏜️ Made some progress on the environment props. With a proper specular, it gives a lot more depth to the place (and you should see it in motion too!) 🌵 #gamedev #gameart #madewithunity 061

bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 05/04/2025🎨 Might not look much from the previous screenshots, here is the rock towers with their final textures. I managed to have the grainy-shiny feel of sand but it is hard to show on screenshots 🌵 #gamedev #gameart 081
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 01/04/2025I'm in the pursuit of the grace of making something culturally significant, at least for few people. 000
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 16/03/2025👷 All decor towers have been chiselled. Took me a while to get in the groove of it. Next step will be to properly work on the textures (those are recycled temps ♻️) #gamedev #gameart 093
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 24/02/2025⛏️ Progress on the environment and mood for the desert level. Here is a screenshot showing in progress mesh carving -texture is still a big wip- for the main tower. #gamedev #gameart 081
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 14/02/2025🏜️ Finally having some time to get back into the project. Started working on the color mood and feel for the Desert level 🎨 #gamedev 1112
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 20/12/2024🤠Howdy. I need your help to try out my new Desert level and share your opinion. I'm curious to see what you can create with this item set 👀 bernould.itch.io/ploppin #gamedev #playtest 070

bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 21/11/2024📸🌵 A new build of Ploppin' is available! In this update you can try the new Desert level. 🚧It is only a blockout for the moment to test the item set and see what scenes people can create with it. So please don't be shy, I'd be curious to see the scenes you've created 🙂 #gamedev 140

bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 13/11/2024🏜️ The blocking of the Desert Mine ha been quite insightful. I'm finishing cleaning up some -very- rough edges to be able to share a build very soon ⛏️👷 #gamedev 050

bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 03/11/2024🍳 Today I explored blocking out new details to the desert world. I think I've got a breakthrough for the whole set of "ploppables", things are clicking together ! #gamedev 020
bernould @bernould.bsky.social · 30/10/2024🤠Howdy! I've started the block-out of a new environment. As you can see, it will be desert-mine-westerny themed 🌵🏜️ #gamedev #gameart 160
