3D printed a material I worked on recently & just want to share that it's WILDLY satisfying holding a Substance Designer material you made yourself in your hands. The forbidden gummy.💜 Would any fellow devs /artists I follow be interested in having materials they made be 3D printed? ✨

As I put the finishing touches to my talk for #developbrighton, I'm looking for stories from developers, of the most exceptional or outlandish things that players have done to show their love for your game. Was it unhinged fan art, multi-volume fanfic, tattoos, themed weddings..?! #gamedev
