Reposted by Sakthipassivestar @passivestar.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I'm not super excited about blurry 50 fps gaming where it takes your $3000 gpu several frames to converge light into a discernible picture. I love how great games got to look but the tradeoffs we took aren't very good imo We need nice baked GI again that runs on a laptop you found behind a dumpster 1135238

Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 20/09/2026In a world where so little is widely understood about game art and graphics I worry about people having and perpetuating these reductive opinions. I worry there's no real way to bridge the gap and get the right info out there 110
Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Short of reading the entrails of microtransaction sales data that gets trickled down from the money people I don't think I've ever gotten any information about which of the things I made for a game landed and which ones really didn't eh 110
Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It's a whole other can of worms that production artists operate without critical information on how their work is understood - We're kinda up ourselves with how much our work is critiqued and directed only by fellow artists, we manage to lose sight of the end consumer as a result 110
Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Players for the most part can't vocalize what they like and dislike about game art. They don't know most of the principles and the jargon. It's not their job to know, and it means a great deal of what they think goes unsaid or gets generalized into 'looks a bit off' or 'PS2 graphics' or 'painterly' 111
Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I feel like that's being demonized by folks too ignorant or unwilling to call out the 50 other reasons development has gotten too expensive, and I don't like to imagine what a decade of that narrative will look like for the industry... 110
Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 20/09/2026A game artist's number 1 goal is to be expensive as fuck because that's what puts food on the table and pays rent. We get better to justify higher pay. We learn the newest tech so we can get the senior roles 110
Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I dunno what to feel about this constant repetition that graphics equal expenditure in games... Dunno what the world looks like where that's been peddled uncritically for years and years 130

Reposted by SakthiAbhi | Venba @brownmoney.bsky.social · 23/08/2026The same folks celebrating GTA leaks are also hating on R* Indian devs because of racist misinformation that they're responsible for the leak. They hate the idea that "incompetent" Indians work on their beloved franchise when many AAA studios are reliant on cheap Indian labour. 0214

Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I picked this environment because there was very little clutter and foliage, because I do not want to have to figure out what to do to grass when bigass rocks are yanked up from beneath. No doubt it's possible to remove foliage wherever the rocks overlap, but then the bald spots would look like ass 010
Sakthi @sambarpowder.bsky.social · 04/08/2026lotta interesting challenges with this one that im putting off... gotta figure out what to do for ground displacement/damage from all the rocks im pulling up, and how to make the effects stand out when none of it glows 😩 140
