i got this perfect fabric transparency working along with a cloth simulation for the ending... it looks peaceful sad beautiful... lol i love how transparent fabrics work. it was really easy to do! (i thought cloth simulation would be harder. relieved it wasn't) #GameDev

this is the corner that traumatized an entire generation of players I distinctly remember when I first saw this, summer of 1997, playing a rented copy of RE1 in my friend's basement never had I encountered this level of peril with a digital monster. they'd all be very fun and light-hearted prior

I made a Level Designer Starter Pack, so will be easier to find, share and get found as a LD in bluesky (and also makes your feed really blocky as a side effect). If you want to join just post at least one (1) unit of Blockout (as tribute) and ask!

I've loved level design since the release of Cyberpunk 2077. Its levels were so polished they made me want to do many playthroughs to test different builds. That's when I discovered the work of ‪@maxpears.bsky.social‬, where I learned how the different player styles were included in the levels.

Thinking back to when I had to analyze a game one year ago — I chose Cuphead! What a challenging game! Here are some of the analyses I did to identify the game's core loop and the player's actions through noun and verb diagrams. (These are very noobie analyses hahaha)
