At the very least, my whole hacky setup for having the motion vector solving shader include the contents of my OBS scene has proven to be super useful for a variety of existing effects of mine. Here's a test with my old datamoshing shader, now properly bleeding blocks over the game from my vtuber.

Other picks: Nidhogg (Daedelus) Utopia Must Fall (datassette) Marathon (Ryan Lott (Son Lux)) Creaks (Hidden Orchestra) Ibb & Obb, Dubio (Kettel) I realize these may be somewhat obscure, but I promise they're all well-known within their genre.

Depends what constitutes an "established" artist. Disasterpeace was already a well known name before he did the soundtracks for FEZ and HLD, but certainly not on a mainstream level

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

Earlier this week, a friend noticed Jacob Geller’s book, How A Game Lives, sitting amongst my living room shelves. Under almost any other circumstances, this would have been an exciting invitation for...

Had an absolute blast with this game; it has a good variety of tile mechanics that get explored thoroughly. It 100% deserves to go in the hall of puzzle game fame. Looking forward to trying out the challenge levels every now and then.

I've been enjoying this! Nothing groundbreaking, but the puzzle design is pretty solid. I intend on 100%ing it.

Finished Big Walk with my friend group today. A lovely and touching piece of game design. I hope that co-op games trend in this direction - carefully crafted campaigns instead of infinite random generation.

first act is a straightforward recreation of the original's test chambers with portal 2 assets it's the second act that's really notable as it reconstructs the entire level design, again to fit portal 2's style

If one such thing as a paid gamedev scene does exist, and they're somehow looking for 3d artists. Hit me up or something because I am Broke. These are assets I've done:
Mud materials at different levels of flooding to blend into water shader plane.Material set of rock, grass, dirt, and leaves set up with blend transitions for a shader that only allows 2-way blending.Metal gate and fence bars model and materialsMetal materials, AC units, brick wall materials and env design

2017. There was a segment in Escape01 with a "cube disposal" in the form of a piston that would smash a cube to bits. You would use this to fling a cube into the turret. Kinda funny, but a tonal mismatch. It also made more sense to make the player do this fling instead of a cube.
