Your Quartermaster, Nigel. He's got an eye for the detail, and another eye simply because he was born with it, and having two eyes is in accordance with company guidelines. 👁️ DO YOUR PAPERWORK or you'll have Nigel requisitioning down your neck #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #steam

We're going to EGX this year! That means if you're at London MCM ComicCon, you can play Contact Protocol in person :D Here's a flyer concept we're working on. Really want to get the feeling across of the moral decisions you have to make in game. Visuals still need some work... #indiedev #indiegame

Every now and then, I go to Five Guys and dabble in a little free advertising. Not sure if it's ever garnered me any followers though 🤔

I feel like a proper professional, making a brand kit Even if it's just for me, the sole employee, so I don't forget what colours to use. Not sad, very professional!

I remade that awesome piracy ad from the 2000's for a YT short about stealing page design inspiration Sometimes I remember the power of being a video editor, I can make this say whatever I want! Is this how artists feel when they draw Shrek playing poker with Goku and Jesus or whatever?

3D printing is HARD so I'm fortunate to know a plastic wizard He's helping me make a mould, from which I can make a silicon stamp, that can then be used to mark my envelopes (and the backs of people's hands if I ever get a comicon booth 😎) #3dprinting

Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

As an uncultured southerner, I didn't know Scotland was THIS beautiful Mind you, all I'm thinking is how good of a psx style horror game setting this dam would make Resident evil style puzzles and fish-based enemies, etc. Who wants to make a game studio?

You can't just be a solo artist in 2025, you also have to be a self-employed social media manager/advertiser/video editer So I make shorts for my magazine It's probably good practise to stretch these creative muscles that I wouldn't have otherwise. I'm thankful my mind understands Premiere Pro

When someone asks me what I'd do if I won the lottery, the answer is always revive the London Trocadero Infinity money is for building megastructures filled with arcade machines, not buying 3 yachts

Page 3 used to be THE prime spot in gaming mags. A proper place to be creative and tease features hidden further in the pages Here's a Tekken 4 one from PLAY issue #79 and my @playrematch.com (same studio that made Sifu!) one from the upcoming UPM issue #2 What do you think? Effective or boring?

I'm a complete layman when it comes to architecture but I've always been a fan of sprawling mega structures and brutalism Walking to Waterloo today, I saw this awesome overhang... thing. Do those windows make reading nooks in top floor flats? Very cool nonetheless

Phantasy Star Universe (2006) Don't these just look like 3D FA renders? You can almost always count on 2000's gaming aesthetics for Frutiger Aero inspiration Source: this is essentially a repost of the following tweet: x.com/JPGameAesthe... #frutigeraero

Disney Website (2008ish) As usual, the sentiment is stuff now = flat, minimalist, boring & stuff then = fun, interesting, colourful Check out Disney.com today and you'll see that the difference is HUGE. Much less personality now Source: www.reddit.com/r/FrutigerAe... #frutigeraero

This Uber Boat advert I saw on the London Underground. It shows the shard on what appears to be a lone island on a calm ocean. Looks very FA. Wish I took a better picture! #frutigeraero

Sony Vaio print ad (2001) Maybe a little more y2k than FA but you can still feel it. Sony Vaio ads always have this vibe - keep an eye out for them! #frutigeraero

Sims 3 OST - Identity Check (2009) Sims 3 will always be a peak FA game to me with it's sound effects, glossy menus and (of course) music! This is a song that plays during the character creator. Sends me back in time instantly... #frutigeraero
