Here's a little breakdown on the combat camera system I've been working on. I decided to narrate it because it's a lot of info. #screenshotsaturday #ue5 #IndieGameDev #solodev

I had the honor of working on this Arcane Warwick skin in #2XKO! I was responsible for modeling, texturing, shading and some of the new design It’s been cool to see so many of you using it 😌 #2xko_warwick

Cyan friends and family, we have some difficult news to share today. (More details in-thread below.)

A MESSAGE FROM CYAN:

Today we would like to share with you some very unfortunate news. Despite our best efforts to avoid it, Cyan has made the difficult decision to reduce our overall staff size—resulting in the layoff of twelve talented staff members, roughly half the team—effective at the end of March.

Industry conditions have forced us into a tricky spot where we are having to weigh the future health of our studio against the month-to-month realities of game development in 2025. Throughout the past year, we have been ultra-transparent with the entire Cyan team about the choppy waters we find ourselves in, as well as the dangers ahead. While the news of a layoff was not a surprise to the team, it was (and is) still deeply saddening for all of us.

Although we have done our best to pad the landing for those affected with severance packages, we would implore any fellow developers looking for world-class talent to reach out.

For now, our number one priority is to secure financing for our next project, and to restabilize the studio. We’ve been around for a very long time, and have been through tough times before. Our sincere hope is to continue to be around, and to provide the types of experiences that only Cyan can deliver.

As always, we are grateful for all the love and support from our amazing player community.

Sincerely, Cyan Leadership

Just about any animated work I show, none of it is rigged or uses bones it’s just parented objects and smart use of pivot points and just loads of layered movements using sometimes only 2 key frames in one movement or rotation direction and any of you can do it. It’s just about ideas and timing

Being able to vent to someone about this stuff or even show little wins is so important. Working in a vacuum as a solo dev can be really tough on our mental health. It’s important for us to have someone to talk to about the game and I’m glad someone clearly recognizes that. #indiedev #solodev
