Spent months solo-developping Fideism, an art game questionning our assumptions about faith. Premiered at the @amazefest.bsky.social Shop-Gallery this year, here is a short vid showcasing my artistic vision and the bespoke VR mechanic I coded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIU_...

My first shipped project - ASTRA - directed by Eliza McNitt and produced by Atlas V has been quite successfull for mixed-reality : 400+ reviews and ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars on the Meta Quest store, not bad for a narrative-driven project! www.meta.com/en-gb/experi... But you know what impress me even more?

My latest game Staggered has a happy ending, but you can also chose to run away from your shadow endlessly #indiedev #artgame #devlog

Nino Filiu @ninofiliu.com · 25/08/2025

In my latest game Staggered, there is an anthracite-textured clone of your player character that walks towards you - slowly, but constantly. Inspired by Carl Jung's "shadow", the choice is yours to either face it or run away from it. #indiedev #artgame #devlog

Used @vanilagy.bsky.social 's Mediabunny in supermosh.github.io for rendering. Perf gain for most devices (6s -> 0.3s for this video), but most importantly since I don't rely on the live <canvas> recording anymore, the output is deterministic & the same for all devices. Many ppl asked for this :)

UE5.6 allowed for crazy updates on metahuman body customizations but also completely fucked nanite landscapes, not sure if that was a net positive on the production of my upcoming animation short

The future I'd like to see for AI is locally-run web apps. I'm not saying that is what's gonna happen (people are dumb and capitalism suck so things my get pushed in the wrong direction, like when headphone jacks disappeared), but that's the future I wish for nevertheless. Here's why ⏬🧵

After years of research, I released a massive upgrade to supermosh.github.io, the first browser-based datamosh editor. It already knew a worldwide usage since I released the v1 in 2021, but this is 100x faster and a perfect visual match with the original fx. v happy!!! instagram.com/reel/DK4q_mNMQWb
