Some glass studies from the last few days. I find transparent materials so intimidating, but after this course I think I'm in love with them 😍The teacher is so good at condencing all the materials into a few manageable steps as well. (Even if glass is still the most complex so far) #art #artstudy

I love post processing on pixel art <3 The bloom is a bit overdone in this scene, but It's a dream sequence so I'll indulge #pixelart

Working on some turn order panel UI and I'm wondering which concept is the best for showing what unit gets a turn next: 1 Faces with faction colors 2 Faces with black BG 3 Only faction colors Note that when you hover an element it will show unit info in the corner like in the mock image #gamdev

I see that we are all sharing our badges of honor (Excuse me only "SUBTLY" pro LGBTQ+ messaging? I'm offended by this the most)

A negative steam curator review stating that Vengeful heart "Contains overtly pro-DEI and subtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The player character is a WOC with a heart condition. Homosexual romance option is a WOC with 'extensive combat training and experience.'"

I'm doing a course on material rendering that my work colleagues recommended. This is from week 1/8, stone and wood. I really like my wooden block. The stone not as much, I wasn't really feeling it when I painted the stone. Maybe I'll redo it. #art

Thank you for the art share! I'm Hanuli and i've recently started working on my indie game full-time. I post a lot of art for the game, and since I'm the only programmer in the team I'm responsible for the technical side as well ^^ Would love to know about other indie game devs here 🥰
