Check out my new article where I reflect on starting my career as a tech artist, async leadership, and why we should strive to make ourselves obsolete! I also crudely compare async leadership to writing code for GPUs. www.linkedin.com/pulse/art-ma... #techart #gamedev #leadership

Second attempt at uploading my simple appartment furtniture pack to Fab. The problem was missing collision on a few of the items :p Updated the lighting a little bit, its much warmer now, giving off a more cozy feel. Lets see if it gets approved :D #unrealengine #gamedev #indiegamedev

I have a new found respect for people who publish content on marketplaces. I was going to "quickly clean up" meshes from an old game idea and make available on fab. Its been 2 weeks and I'm still cleaning up 😅 Submitted the first version, waiting for approval #indiegamedev #gamedev #unrealEngine

What are people using as Photoshop alternatives these days? I need to create some simple images and export them out in linear color space Is gimp still used? Could I do this is Blender? #gamedev #indiegamedev

I just figured out that I can do AB testing on #Youtube thumbnails. I'm going to be low-key upset if the one with my face does worse. The video is called "How to make UI in Unreal Engine 5 - Learn the basics" Which one you like better?

Messing around making videos with code. Its still rough but I'm happy with the progress 😅 Here I want to show people who are new to #gamedev how to create a framework for their game in #UnrealEngine My goal is to learn how to show complex things quickly and then later dive deep with explinations

I'm learning how explain #gamedev concepts in more accessable ways. Both for my #YouTube tutorials and for my day-to-day job The best thing about the animation is that its all made in code, so I can refactor until perfect 🤓 Can you guess the game (WIP)😅 #IndieGameDev

Do you relate to these points? Do you wonder why so many game developers work and work but never manage to finish a game? I've seen many talented people stuck in an endless loop of prototypes and tests😢 Here are some useful insights! #gamedev #indiegamedev www.gisli.games/coaching/wan...
