Had a blast with the Demon Souls remake, now to start with Dark Souls remaster Had played Bloodborne and Elden Ring halfway but never fully got into it, but the DS remake is so so good I think I finally get it. So I’m going through things in order now.

Just found a chicken headless. Nothing like a crispy morning walk to the forest graveyard holding a shovel and corpse. Also, 6 of our sick ash trees fell over in the storm tonight, means I get to make lots of cool stuff.

More early thumbnails. Started using vector at the time to more quickly push stuff out. #conceptart #art #gamedev #sketch

Starter packs are great and all, but would be nice to get added to some. 🥲

I've gotten hands of steel from years of squeezing the kids' Lego builds together every 5 minutes.

We added a little Subway update to our Number Journey toy. 🟡🔺🟦 This is our first little math toy per popular request. Honestly we strongly believe all our toys work well for teaching maths, just by the act of stacking or slotting, but now you can see actual numbers for the first time. #gamedev

What makes our game non-addictive to little kids? That's a question we get a lot and there is one answer Esther came up with so well that I can't get it out of my head: "Because it's not a game, it's a toy." And that just clicks for a lot of people. #gamedev #design #gamedesign

One of the best design rules I've ever set for myself is setting limits. Limits in colour, limits in interaction, limits in sound,... Trying to get away with doing less is essential to soothe my impatient nature, it gives me laser focus when I can toss stuff out of the equation. You'll make do.

Occasionally we grab old toys from flee markets just cause we love the look of them. Makes me happy.

Old vintage toy tower with all sorts of layers you can take off, very colourful rings and cones stacked on them. 90’s Russian probably looking at the label.

Fed chickens, gathered leaves for compost pile, did the dishwasher and loaded washer, workout done and made breakfast... Now coffee and reviewing a bunch of builds. 🪁 #art #conceptart #illustration #games

We really did manage to make our own Twitter.

I'll make my own Twitter, on Bluesky with decent people.

Yo dawg, I heard you like starter packs, so I made a starter pack of people starting starter packs.

Okay the new PS Portal update adds cloud streaming and fixes all stuttering? 🤯 I just tried and the quality is amazing with smooth streaming, no micro-stutters or anything. Still in beta and not the full library, but I can play this anywhere while the kid can hog the PS5, so useful.

Playstation Portal playing Death Stranding streamed from the cloud. Great quality.

Digging through old stuff I can be proud of what I did at the time and under certain circumstances, but then I also see a bunch of mistakes I wouldn't allow myself to make anymore. But is that a reason not to post? #art #gamedev #conceptart #illustration

It's comforting to randomly encounter familiar names on here and see what everyone's been up to. The other place was a ghost town and I lost track completely.

I might post some very old twitter stuff later to give a glimpse of where they might know me from, not that I’m very known, but I still had to give up a fair amount of followers. + I haven’t made much new stuff in my free time since. 🙃

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

As someone who’s very bad at small talk, a ‘skeet’ isn’t any easier for me lol. Took me an hour to write this.

Hello 👋🏼 Completely got rid of Leon’s twitter, why bother keeping that stain on humanity. Looking forward finding old and new friends. 😊 I’m Mathijs, I’m co-founder at Pok Pok 🟦♥️🟡 and I design digital toys.
