Did you know you can create a four point star with offset texture coordinates and some simple math nodes? Use this to draw the players eye at the right time. #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev

Tlaloc's new core ability! We worked with @fatelessgames.bsky.social design /animation teams to reimagine this; what started as a spear throw became a shotgun-like blast of water bullets to demonstrate his command of water. WIP by VFX Artist, @g-bigcinnamon.bsky.social #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev

Rad work-in-progress by Junior VFX artist Allen Wu. This video features Godforge's legendary hero Camazotz' core ability. There is a blend of subtlety and big impact--blood streaks, tiny bats, and an explosive finish. #realtimevfx #vfx #gamedev

Did you know you can make a mesh flipbook using vertex color and a few position nodes? Flood each mesh frame with vertex color, then merge them into one mesh and reveal the frames as needed. #RealTimeVFX #GameDev #UE5

As a black person in America with family history that can be directly traced back to enslaved people, Juneteenth is really meaningful to me. Without the sacrifices of my ancestors, I would not be where I am today. I’m so proud to honor their memory and celebrate their legacy. Happy #Juneteenth!

Common misconception: the best time to incorporate VFX is at the end of development. Ideally, VFX artists + designers are collaborating early on in the project to enhance and influence a feature at it's inception. Incorporate us sooner! TY @noodlecatgames.com #realtimeVFX #gamedev #VFX

Marc and I go way back! He was my lead at Volition and he showed me what good leadership looked like. He pushed me to become more technical and that opened so many doors for me. He's a friend, a mentor, and this has been a long time coming! I'm so happy to welcome Marc to the studio!

ICYMI: Wanderstop has officially won it's first award thanks to the folks at WINGS and Gamescom LATAM! Thanks to WINGS for recognizing the team's work on Wanderstop ~ and thanks to everyone who has played, commented, wishlisted, and otherwise supported our journey! 🥳Time to brew a celebratory cup!🍵

A graphic showcasing Wanderstop as the WINGS award winner of Gamescom LATAM / BIG Festival 2025.

The top 1/5th has a black banner with white text and logos. Text says: WINGS AWARD WINNER and the laurel next to it says "WINGS AWARD, Gamescom LATAM, BIG Festival 2025, Winner 2025".

The rest of the image is of the Wanderstop keyart, a scene with Alta and Boro sitting on a bench in front of the teahouse, Alta looking grumpy and Boro smiling with a cup of tea in his hand. There are pluffins gliding down in the distance, and Alta's sword is stabbed into the ground nearby.
