The Mermaid Mask is back on -10% sale on Steam, but even better is the Detective Grimoire Series bundle: since the previous 2 games in the series are -80%, the whole bundle is nearly half price overall Over half of all TMM sales have been through this bundle! store.steampowered.com/app/1696770/...

Most of the time as an experienced tech artist my job is implementing things I've done before, in a way that meets the project needs Sometimes it's working out lots of maths & knowing there's a slim chance that a particular edge case will make it unusable, but we won't find out until we do it \o/

What?! It's just over two weeks until Rogue Eclipse is out! I'm so excited for people to play this! And you get to fly and fight through and around some cool space systems that I helped build

This cymbidium started flowering 2 weeks ago, first of this Winter's orchids to bloom. It's so hard to photograph tho. It's a much darker red than it appears here, but trying to capture the sunlight transmission through the petals makes it look much brighter 🌱

Usually I love being thorough with work tasks & knowing confidently that something is complete with no unknown side effects. But today I just want this particular task to be done so I can work on a specific (creative) other task. But I know I can't just leave this half baked

There's something supremely satisfying about being able to add tags to the writing for my game, for animations that don't actually exist yet & know that once the matching animation file has been created it will just run without any further input

I pretty much always prefer a tool/system where assets can be viewed & debuged by their creators instead of them going into a blackbox. I never want things to be reliant on a coder to debug or even fix issues if I can give that power to the people who care most about that content

Inside me are two wolves. One wants to be creative. The other just really wants to build the most robust tools & pipelines for creating & debugging the creative output so that everything runs smoothly & effectively for the eventual day when I am finally creative without technical distractions

Trying to avoid websites where ppl post opinions as facts telling you why something is so exciting (sorry, but realistic animations of historical works of art is boring & kinda gross) Anyway, making an effort to draw real tangible things, which I do enjoy. Trust the process. Enjoy the process

Ok, can someone tell me if I'm being biased about this report comparing the energy cost of Ai translation Vs a human translator. Now this feels disingenuous to me because, as far as I'm aware, for a lot of applications of translated material AI results aren't good enough. Am I wrong?

I have inherited a coin collection from my dad (album & loose coins). I don't need a coin collection. There's no sentimental value. My dad is still alive. But! What do I do with it? Hide it in a box? Buy sleeves to put the unsorted coins into? Please send me your suggestions

An in-game render test of Pixel standing in her office, point light shining down on her face. 2 Smells can be read, one is the smell of Laurel, the other is a bit more obscured and needs to be investigated further.
