Collections of studios owned and run by Black People. I'm sure there are some I missed, so please let me know (please double-check that they are owned by black people), and I will add them. Don't just follow them; check out their games. This list is about equity and ownership. go.bsky.app/4wfgP11

I'm so excited for this! Shaders are so intimidating but fun.

Women of colour are by far the most educated in #gamedev, yet hold the lowest % of permanent or managerial roles. So how does someone with no power make an impact? Check out @scardeykat.bsky.social's talk, "Ain't I a Game Dev?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2zs... #gamedev

Within you there are two otters. Both are fucked up by fbx import settings scale factor 2.

Thank you!! I used tinfoil for the shape, which is nice cause it's soft enough to poke holes through. Then used a cheap headband for placement. After that I rolled painters tape for ridges on the one horn and covered both in masking tape to paint over. Gold peices are just painted cardboard 🙂
