Ah no! I'm doing the thing. I've made decent progress on a game prototype and learned how to make stuff by doing it. Now I want to ditch the current project and start a new one with my new knowledge.

Has anyone ever struggled with a game prototype because you took a break from it, came back and now you have no idea how it works? #gamedev #indiedev

Seeing a lot of posts of "concept art" alongside the "final art" and it is painfully obvious they just asked the AI to make the same image again but pen and ink. They don't understand what concept art is for, just trying to deceive people that they're not using AI. #Gamedev #ConceptArt

I've been doing 13 hour working days for four days in a row. Another 5 weeks of this lies ahead. This evening, when I finally get home, I am posting a gif and announcing my game. I need to get another source of income before this job cripples me. #gamedev

Perhaps #Microsoft will make their next console fully subscription based. You lease it from them and pay a subscription just for the privilege of having it in your hovel. It seems anything is possible in this brave new world of #gamedev we find ourselves in.

I had a very silly idea for a Visual Novel. I've been playing with #renpy a lot in my spare time between Godot for the past month. I LOVE the illustrations by Gunvor and Peter Edwards. Maybe #Spooktober? #TTTE #trains #trainart #locomotive

A green cartoon train drawn using photo reference. A face has been added to the front like the characters found in Thomas the Tank Engine.

Ubisoft EMBARGOED news to outlets about the layoffs and studio closures, FYI. Employees were told this morning. And then many reached out to us. Companies trying to embargo layoffs and closures might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my 16 years.

I want to teach my students how to play Werewolf, so naturally I began by drawing my own cards. The art is inspired by @kleientertainment.bsky.social Don’t Starve and Jamie Hewlett`s #Gorillaz work mixed with my substantial lack of creative talent. #fanart #werewolf #WIP

Finally. Combo attacks working. Now a single ability action can have multiple montages in a array and combo through them during defined combo windows. Importantly, dashing can cancel out of the cooldown getting that oh-so-good MonHun great sword feel. #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev #BunnyKicks

Had a stupid idea while on the train to work and spent my commute prototyping a social deduction card game. I'll test it with my students and see if it actually works and more importantly, is actually fun.

Love the Baymax Lorcana card art by Jared Mathews and tried to draw that as well. I’d love to get the original art on a t-shirt or something. #Baymax #Lorcana #Fanart #art #Disney

Scratchy line art of the character Baymax from the movie Big Hero 6 as it appears on a Lorcana trading card originally illustrated by Jared Mathews.
Baymax has been drawn using purple and crudely shaded. In his right hand he is holding an orange life ring.
His left hand is raised in his typical “Hello” wave pose.

I was watching Big Hero 6 and was compelled to badly draw the manga style art shown during the credits. #Disney #Pixar #Baymax #Fanart

Four crude drawings depicting the character Baymax from the Pixar film Big Hero 6.
In the top left, Baymax is in a sitting position, facing the viewer while stroking a cat in its lap.
To- right Batman is showing healthy food alternatives using his chest screen, pointing to happy, frolicking carrot and broccoli.
Bottom left Baymax is looking at something out of view.
Bottom right, Baymax is sitting and reading a manga while looking off to his right. This one and the previous image have been shaded to indicate a light source.

It's been a while since I talked in-depth about the thing I've spent 20 years of my life doing professionally; namely pixelart . I wonder if there are any gamedev outlets that would have me @checkpointau.bsky.social ? @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social ?

I failed a job interview last year because I was over 35. The agent told me he's never been able to place anyone over 30 at a games studio. Approaching 40 and my interest in art and my ability is growing and improving exponentially. Fuck that guy.

The LC project is just something I'm having fun with in my free time. It may never be something anyone else ever play. I have no plans to collaborate on the project as I have zero funds to properly compensate contributions. (I will not accept free labor! Artists should be paid for their skills.)
