While you wait for Subnautica 2, here's a moody Bioshock-esque strategy game in which you can put Big Daddies on crabs
Tides of Tethys is an underwater roguelite with city-building elements in which you guide troupes of bathynauts around procedurally generated ocean floors.

Thanks for the Tides of Tethys article on RPS, and taking the time to check out the demo @edwinet.bsky.social ! My sources tell me you're a Soul Reaver fan...if so, I wonder if you noticed this little easter egg....

I rarely talk about personal stuff on here, but I recently removed myself from an unsafe situation, and am currently trying to recover financially. I am putting it out there that I'm available for work either as an artist or art director. If anyone is interested please get in touch! ❤️

The Tides of Tethys demo just got a major update :D After the Steam Next Fest demo, one of the major feedback points we got from people was that the UI and UX overall felt a bit unintuitive, so we reworked it fully from the ground up.

‘Overwhelming Aura’ one of the illustrations I’ve done for Daggerheart 🗡️💜 (AD @robotpencil.bsky.social )
A muscular, female goblin with a long braid and a more tribal outfit summons a yellow aura above and behind her, looking vaguely like a goblin face. a skeleton wielding a greatsword is in the foreground. the illustration is held in brown, orange and yellow hues

It's #daggerheart day! I can finally show my painting! 🥳 "Versatile Fighter" AD Anthony Jones I nicknamed her Poppy for obvious reasons and I love her very much 🥺❤️ It was an honour to work on this!
Painting of a lilac-skinned orc woman standing in a field of poppies at sunset. She is brandishing two scimitars and carries many more weapons besides: bow, quiver, halberd, dagger. Her stance is ready and eager and she has a challenging smile as if ready for anything. The wind blows in her wavy green hair and sends petals through the scene

Two Daggerheart characters: A halfling in her fifties, and a younger human man looking at and discussing a magical glowing map, planning something. The environment is a misty forest in subdued, soft colors.

Hello! @daggerheartrpg.bsky.social is finally out, which means I have 5 images I'm excited to finally share with you! Let's start with the first one, "Adjust Reality". Hope you like it! AD: @robotpencil.bsky.social @criticalrole.bsky.social @darringtonpress.bsky.social
An illustration of the card for "Alternate Reality", from the game system Daggerheart. 
It showcases a group of characters on the edge of a cliff, looking at a landscape that's split in half due to time magic, showcasing the group changing events with magic. The two sides split diagonally show a before and after of the destruction of a city by a big dragon. The left side is peaceful and has mainly salmon and blue tones, whereas the right side is much darker and has mainly dark blues and purples, and floating ruins, with the dragon spewing magical fire on top of a ruin.
