Some concepts I used here: - strong hook that creates a curiosity gap (can only be resolved by watching the full vid) - speaking to the player fantasy - making commenters feel smart/ important We had a nice wishlist bump from this :) Open to additional freelance work!

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live.

"This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario."

The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD."

Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version."

PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

As requested by some users, next HAZE update will expose the temporal accumulation blending, which can be reduced in order to address trailing artifacts from moving lights (like flashlights etc) ✨ HAZE is still 50% off, so it's a great chance to try it out if you haven't!

A 3d render in UE5. Several dirt paths converge and go towards the center of the image, bricks line part of the path. The grassy terrain,dotted with flowers and rocks, leads into a peak dropping off into the ocean which can be seen behind it. Near the peak is a pine tree. A bright blue sky with clouds.

You can use the depth buffer with a bump offset function to mask sprites by depth and conform them to the geometry. This is especially convenient for dynamic fake light, UI elements, character damage effects… #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #vfx

Funny story: Journey had no automatic shadows. I painted them all by hand. The shadow texture was not hi-res. To get the iconic sunset columns to cast sharp shadows, I made sure that they aligned with the pixel grid of the texture. Here you can see the shadow map I painted.

The sunset tunnel moment from the game Journey, where the player slides from right to left past columns throwing shadows towards the camera. The bright glowing sun sets behind the distant mountain. The scene is tinted in glowing warm shades.

This is a black and white texture I hand painted to map shadows into the downhill scene in the game Journey. Most games generate these textures automatically, but I did it by hand because we did not have the tools to do so during Journey's development.

A close up of my hand painted shadow texture, showing that the shadows of the columns in the sunset tunnel were aligned with the pixels of the texture to achieve maximum sharpness in game, despite the resolution of the texture being very small for the amount of area it was covering.

10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated: I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.

The intro title shot from the PS3 game Journey. This is from the finished game. The title "Journey" is displayed above a distant mountain, with the player character seeing it from atop a sand dune.

The intro title shot from a work in progress version of Journey. The title's font is different, the composition is asymmetrical, and the distant mountain is not as tall as the final version.

My initial sketch for the title shot for the game Journey. A simple, small line drawing featuring the player character in the foreground and the mountain in the distance.

These could probably be better done as post-processing, the shells could be a bit overkill; I've done something like that in the past, this is using depth/normal/color difference and displacing the outline buffer before compositing

@arlostuff.bsky.social About palworld (not defending a side here) but people forget that Palworld is backed by Sony. So it's not so much "small against big company" anymore as Nintendo has their literal rival hiding in the shadows behind Pocketpair, who could definetly turn it into a huge franchise🥷
