Recently shipped the demo 2.0 for my game, Tides of Tethys. Please check it out and wishlist the game if you can! :)

Geoffrey Ernault @exphrasis.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

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....

He was a voice over actor, known for his role in "King of the hill". Yeah the level of evil and violence of this is just...nightmarish. And to think that this is caused by bigotry. Doing all this to people, just for trying to live their lives is simply inhuman.

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.

Or as Matthew Mercer would say : Rip and Tear!

Here's another image I painted for Daggerheart 😃 This time, "Book of Homet". This was so much fun to paint! AD: @robotpencil.bsky.social

Here's image #2 I got the chance to make for Daggerheart! This one is "Battle Monster". It was tons of fun painting this, as I absolutely love skeletons. Hope you like it! AD: @robotpencil.bsky.social

Damn, I didn't have Matthew Mercer saying "Rip and Tear" while looking at an image I made, on my bingo card for today 🥹🥹

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.

What's up Bsky? We've been hard at work redoing our UI, as it was one of the main feedback points after our Steam Next Fest demo. Here's some before and after shots. What do you think? Better ? :)

We hear your feedback! In order to help with balance, and helping with finding your Knights more easily, we've made the decision to scale Knights by x20. #tidesoftethys

Some ultra wide screenshots from #TidesofTethys. Have you tried the demo yet? :D

...And if you've already checked out Tides of Tethys, make sure to give Pacific Drive a try! If you're a completionist like me - you might even see a familiar face.

Geoffrey Ernault @exphrasis.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

twitch. tv/exphrasis Will be streaming a #TidesofTethys demo run in about 30 min ish (6pm pst). Come join us! I'll have twitch integration on so you can mess with my run lol.

Geoffrey Ernault @exphrasis.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

Hello! Here's a small reminder that our demo for #TidesofTethys will be coming out in February :D Officially for Steam Next Fest on February 24th buttttt maybe, just maybe, it might drop earlier than that 😎

Been working on the in-game animatics. 😳 These are so much fun to paint. Do you like animatics or do you tend to skip cinematics?

Geoffrey Ernault @exphrasis.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Finally finished watching Scavengers Reign, and I really cannot recommend it enough. I tend to not recommend too many shows/ tv stuff and focus more on games, but this is one of the most creative piece of media I've seen before. Loved every second of it. Go in blind if you can!

Twitter always seems to like this image lol, let's see if it's the same here 🧐

Game devs, post your first shipped game and your latest shipped game.

With the discourse going on, here's my take on a before and after on what changes should be done to Ciri in Witcher 4

Is it still called vertigo if you're underwater? 🤔🤔

"Big corps make bad games! My corp (which is small btw), I will obviously make good games, using corpo tool 2000! BTW, did you know I am diablo #1 guy? As a leaderboard guy, I KNOW how to make games!" What a dumbass.

Working on the atmosphere. What do you think?

Sometimes I forget this stuff is randomly generated.

Four games I've worked on. Makes it easier to narrow down once you take away all the cancelled projects :x

Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies what they’re dealing with. You need to be at least level 66 to beat this boss.

I really need to finish painting this at some point. Painted this for a prototype idea I was playing with lately.

Learned how to make parametric animations using control rigs last week, on one of the new enemies I've been working on for the game. Def will still need work and layered animations, but all in due time :)

Happy Halloween! Here's some of my "darker" stuff.

A painting of a dark sewer-like tunnel with monsters eating on corpses. The image is grayscale.

A big bug-like monster surrounded by fly-like fairies, handing a crow to the bigger bug. The image is grayscale.

A painting of a semi transparent ghost like floating head of a cute witch, with a skull of a cat visible through it. She's wearing a hat. The image is a monochromatic glowy blue and teal

A painting of an yellow rust colored landscape of a ruined fantasy building, with an army of creatures in front of it. There is a figure in the foreground.

He's an old image I rarely share - Suphur

A digital painting of a red and green/yellow ish valley filled with green ish clouds, and giant red obelisks as well as strange swamp like plants scattered around a the mostly barren landscape. The stretches of valleys seem to overlap in a very fantasy-esque way, and the ground has very shallow looking lakes and puddles that stretch to the horizon.
There is a figure in the foreground shaped like a red triangle. The foreground figure is much more stylized and simplistic than the background. The figure is surrounded by 3 very bright and small butterflies.

Yeah I love it! This is my main build, it's kinda hogwarts- ish

A screenshot from Tiny Glade, showing a very blue-ish moonlit castle in the middle of a forest from a 3/4 top down view. The castle has a bunch of warm lights coming from the windows and doors.

Hey it only took me 2h to reply to everybody 😂 Thanks for your support! Kinda neat knowing I might be able to use Bsky now as a regular social media instead of the others... Here's some more old art as a token of appreciation! 🥰

I'll be at Lightbox tomorrow (saturday) if anybody wants to come say hi. This is what I look like :)

Man that looks very french, with a pair of glasses and a goatee. He has medium length swept light brown hair. The goatee is a little bent but it still looks ok. The man is wearing a v neck black shirt. In the background, Venice, Italy, with its beautiful water ways.

Everybody's raving about bsky's engagment but tbh I'm really not seeing those numbers sadly. Wish I was so I could stop using twitter...
