One of my favourite stories, and nothing has come close to capturing the book like this TV series. Though the 60s film was the first horror film I ever accidentally saw when I was 7 or 8 and it stuck with me.

Ocarina of Time remake looks absolutely incredible, good job Nintendo.

Does anyone know of any animators who animate 2D FX on top of live action footage? Thinking of 'Is Tropical' by The Greeks as an example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwrb...

Hey thanks! So yeah, don't rely on me for your legal standing but I generally think it's okay for personal use to learn some skills, but obviously don't sell them or say that you've stolen it or whatever.

In this age of ✦pristine AI✦ I think we should embrace imprefections and rough egdes more..

Okay so it seems I really enjoy making shorter videos looking at indie game animation. If I mention your game, I'd love to hear from you!

Yeah I don't like that they think we assume we don't own anything. Like bitch please we spend enough as it is.

Did Sony just say the quiet bit out loud??

Short form content is so frustrating to produce and format for, cos there's all kinds of crap in the way of the actual video.

Playing Sonic Frontiers for the first time. I just can't get into 3D Sonic games. They feel 'stuck' with some archaic design that never seems to feel fun to me. This game in particular feels a little incoherent in all sorts of ways, nothing feels like it's connected in any sort of meaningful way.

Love the distortion effect they've added here in Mega Man Dual Override to fake a smear frame effect to mimic the original drawn quality from Mega Man 8

Trying my best to keep up with 'creating content' as well as living fulfillingly within my means. Pretty tricky, isn't it.

I wonder how that worked out with Gooseworx and Glitch with The Amazing Digital Circus?

⭐︎ Dan Root ⭐︎ @danroot.work · 21/08/2026

Oh man I'd forgotten about that!

I don't think this will replace the sprite, just like the 'museum artwork something that just comes with the collection.

So like....either the Devs used AI in remastering the James Pond art, which is why the milk-jug cannon for the cow was completely missed, or the people who remastered the art missed the milk jug cannon. Either way, the original vision was lost.

If you haven't played it yet, Outer Wilds is 50% off on Switch. The best space puzzler you'll ever play.

I love the paper quality with lines

Eric Andre once told me he loved me for some fan art I did back in 2016

I mean, the only "feature" I want is the game which is £69.99. Everything else is guff.

010

⭐︎ Dan Root ⭐︎ @danroot.work · 16/07/2026

And I don't think Nintendo were the first to make £69.99 standard anyway, I'm certain some PS4 or PS5 games were already doing that, and even then some Switch2 games are less than that.

010

⭐︎ Dan Root ⭐︎ @danroot.work · 16/07/2026

I dunno about you but £69.99 feels ENTIRELY reasonable for a game that's going to be this massive, especially as many were moaning about Mario Kart World being £69.99

Time for my second entry in my "Pokemon Crystal Reanimated" series; Starmie! Shiny Starmie to be exact! Done in Procreate Dreams. Sounds added in DaVinci Resolve. Again, thanks to @danroot.work for the inspiration! #pokemon #animation #art

Why is it that it's immediately recognisable as being done by GenAI?

What's the non-descript "topping" on that potato whipped cream?

⭐︎ Dan Root ⭐︎ @danroot.work · 09/07/2026

There's lots of things to consider around the use of AI. I guess it's like being able to do written out maths before being able to use a calculator; you gotta do some critical analysis and research before using chatbots or something

⭐︎ Dan Root ⭐︎ @danroot.work · 09/07/2026

It will be interesting to see where we are in 5 years time. Many people have adopted 'AI' in some form in almost every industry.

Binface's policies are actually pretty interesting, too.

We're now in a possible timeline where a bin is the prime minister of the UK.
