🎃

A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

When' you've literally spend years fiddling with waves and oceans and wakes.. and it finally starts to look decent.. #indiedev I picked an ocean world because it meant having less assets to produce,, only to then spend a decade on a single asset. also no this won't run on a potato anymore.

How did we implement the ambiences for Big Walk? @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social manually drew poly lines for all the different biomes and rivers, and built tools to detect shorelines and scatter positions. Most of it is done before the game even runs, and then we just blend between stored values!

Study of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind that I don't think I ever posted #pixelart

A scene from the Ghibli movie Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, rendered in pixel art. In the background, a large Ohm shell sits in a dark lake illuminated by a few beams of light. In the foreground, two heavily cloaked travelers sit astride large birds surrounded by various alien and fungal foliage.
