Spooky movie season! To help my boys get in the mood I whipped up this pulpy looking poster and I am plastering it all over our house.

If the tech artist in your life has a fey look in their eyes and is mumbling things like “it’s good enough, just finish it.“ please realize that today is a full moon, and we are all going through it. Jokes aside, Makkon threads are always a treasure.

When a tech artist enters The Zone, you know it’s gonna be good!

As someone who runs a small Discord community focused on game engine development, I feel seen.

Conversation between my son and his friend that made me chuckle. FRIEND: So you know God created us and everything? SON: Yep. But I just like the Roman ones more.

I think there are people who enjoy the process of solving problems. And there are people who just want problems to go away.

I’m at the point in my day where my eyes are tired and I really should put on my readers. But what if I just squint really hard?

I unironically love this style/era of texture painting.

Balatro. On paper this game has everything that should make my brain happy, but for some reason I bounced off of it.

Attended a London indie game dev meet up and had such a great time. What a group of lovely people. 😀

Very proud to be doing tech art work on this!

I love making art and writing code. Going through that process gives so much meaning to my life. Why someone would want to shortcut that and hurry up to the result… I just don’t understand.

I am charmed by how much my eight-year-old loves the Playdate. I caught him sneaking into my office before school to play on mine. “Dad I know I wasn’t supposed to be doing that, but can we please just talk about this game?” Sure kid. Always. ❤️

A GPU that doesn’t do what I tell it to do is a bad GPU.

Wild that thoughtfulness and intentionality in design is seen as unnecessary.

Fun read so far, but what the heck is up with this cover? It’s super confusing. Can you guess which book this is?

Love my kiddo. He’s intently flipping through the Monster Manual and grilling me on stat blocks. It’s like a nerd pop quiz that I’m failing horribly. 🤪❤️

It might be old fashioned but I’m old so here goes: Three resolutions/things to focus on.

Hunter is amazing! They made the animations in Delver a million times better.

I should be polishing up my currently in progress tech demos, but what if I started a new feature instead?

I'm on vacation and had a free hour last night so I decided to start prototyping a mesh renderer for my custom game engine.

100% this. In my case, it was: make friends with my peers support their work and share my work with them. Maintain a casual correspondence. 10 years later when they’re an art director and I’m looking for a job they know exactly what I bring to the table.

Android dev question: I have an older app on a no longer supported API level. I created a test track with an updated version of the app on the latest API level. BUT No one can join the test because the released version is still on the deprecated API level. 🤦‍♂️ Any help/suggestions appreciated.

I will always have a special place for libGDX, but its UI system hurts me. 😅

I’ve pledged $5 a month to support Blender! I got started with Blender 2.42 which is now almost 20 years ago! I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to develop tools and add-ons for Blender as part of my career.
