In 1980, Hayao Miyazaki felt creatively washed up. Then he read an American comic that amazed him. Its name: Rowlf. As he tried to adapt it into a movie, Miyazaki evolved and found a new approach that reshaped his work. We're looking into the story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/an-unmade-...

Never been a more moral time to be buying indie games instead of the Big Boys. It's like getting your coffee from the locally owned cafe on the high street instead of a massive bucket of watered down piss slurry from EvilCoffeeCorp that burns down the rainforest. Buy indie, they have your back.

Integration test of the P3 model. Animation handling is easier since this character has no "locomotion" just one timeline I scrub based drift/thrust and a barrel roll. That's a wrap on art for a while, going back to coding for a few weeks. #ScreenshotSaturday ♫ Surfboard (Walter Wanderley) ♫

"Given current circumstances, you might think I'm just primed to notice nightmarish aristocrats bleeding us alive to sustain themselves. But after too many hours of spreadsheet data entry, I'm convinced devs really have been dabbling more heavily in Draculas as the economy feels increasingly dire."

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

And because I think it's equally important to show the failures behind the successes: At first I tried to be fancy with prediction and course-correction. The complexity quickly outgrew the potential gains. In the end, a simple radial push sufficed and produced better results. #gamedev #indiedev
