hey friends, to celebrate #blocktober i have made a longform tutorial for ProBuilder in Unity it's a tool i've used for blockout a LOT over the last 5 years and have found other 'over the shoulder' style tutorial vids helpful myself, so maybe this will help some budding #leveldesign'er :)

So maybe not quite the story it seemed to be... fast follows and clones are obviously not new, and thanks to the get-rich-quick draw of "Friendslop", we're seeing more than ever, but I don't think AI is the main driver (plugins for Unreal/Unity make it very easy, for one).

I did some digging and it turns out that that this game had a Steam page registered weeks before the person in your screenshot posted their video on X... store.steampowered.com/app/5085740/...

a little look at my upcoming surreal go-karting RPG, Miracle Karts. make a name for yourself as you scream through the league, karting clubs, and duels against local legends! #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegames #racing

A screenshot of a first person view racing a yellow go-kart. It is dusk and there is a thick blue fog. In front of the kart is another racer wearing burgundy with a green and yellow helmet. There is a green number-plate with the number 96 on it.
On the game' hud we see an outline of the track, they are 10th of 12, going 42kmph, and on lap 1 of 6.

A screenshot of an overworld map with various icons on it. The selected icon is Zeke's Garage. Description reads: Master mechano Zeke can repair and upgrade your kart. He also sells replacement parts and is a wealth of knowledge on tuning.

A screenshot of an Outfitting page. In the center there is a green go-kart with the number 0 on it. Above there are part categories. To the left are the kart's stats (Kart Class, Power, RPM Max, Weight, Air:Fuel, Braking, Grip, Stability). On the right is an inventory with a 50cc Tremor engine selected. It reads: 50cc Vicewyn Engine. Defiantly durable but prone to overheat without modification. Pull-start included.

A screenshot of a diagetic UI for The Wheeling Fool, the local bar in Miracle Karts. There are several characters seated at a table, the bar, with one standing at the back wearing a yellow shirt and staring at the viewer. The bar is dingy and dark with hanging glass lampshades and big chalkboard with Leaderboard written on it at the back.

Hey, it's been a while! I've been focusing on my character art render for the last few months; here's a Spinning Top Monk I have been working on for some time.

A monk wearing a red and blue dress, her resolute gaze fixed on us. She is holding a giant spinning top with her left hand, a mystical parchment coiled around the grip. She's pulling the rope tied to the parchment with her right hand, uncoiling the scroll, and thus starting off the spinning of this ancient weapon.

Fuck yeah! Demo is solid, really lovely animation work; the landings, switch that looks like switch and the pushes are steezy too! This has real potential to be the game that the community has wanted for years, after so long being let down by XL, Session (not to mention Skate4). Stoked for you!

I'm looking for 3D art commissions! After grinding full-time unpaid on my own game for months now, I have to make sure my ship doesn't sink🙂 I specialise in retro graphics, PS1 and PS2, but can do everything else. Characters, cars, env, weapons, you name it.

What do you think of this trailer? Do you grasp what this is or do I need to redo some parts? It is a customizeable lava lamp for the desktop that you can also click to interact a bit (like a fidget toy). Is this what you would get out of this trailer? #Godot #GodotEngine

It helps my motivation so much to have the pipelines in place to get even half-done versions of ships into the game and see them going to town on other ships. Or, in the case of the carrier, just annihilate 1km³ of space with 28 CIWS. TODO: balancing. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot #spacegame

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

I think of Angeline Era's character art as "gestural" vertex colors: big blocks of gradients and hard edges that loosely gesture at finer details. They are often seen very small on the screen, so it helps them not appear over-detailed. But I also think it looks beautiful up close!

3 NPCs, a snazzy dressed woman, a grumpy old sailor, and a dapper bearded man. They are rendered in a chunky low poly style with a mix of flat vertex colors and simple textures

Some other angles. The lighting has been in all sorts of different states so it's kind of between looks atm. Been bouncing around colours trying to echo the look of 70s pulp sci-fi and films like Outland. But I feel I ended up drifting too far away from brutalism.
