Game-dev friends, I'm now urgently looking for remote work! I have 12+ years of total experience, and I've worn a lot of hats: lighting, graphics programming, modeling & texturing, environment art & design, tooling & workflow dev, and more! DM me for info and inquiries! Reshares also appreciated :)

It took me quite a few tries to bring the brain menu up in quality; here are two scrapped attempts.

Shibanauts: My Psychonauts HD Mod has officially reached a polished enough state that I can recommend downloading it. The mod now covers every texture, but I'm far from done! There are still quite a few that make my brain scream, "I can do better!" Available here: www.nexusmods.com/psychonauts/...

In talks with a buddy about making a Psychonauts multiplayer mod, doubt he'll figure it out, but if he does, we'll be posting about it here.

The next update for the Shibanauts HD Mod is focused on the HUD! I somewhat found a way to scale it up without causing weird stretching. I'm also retouching the FX on most psi-powers, including clairvoyance.

The easter eggs are AMAZING!

I've gotten the mod ready for release! I'll be posting it to NexusMods later today & maybe gamebanana as well :) -The final issue I fixed was the sun being in the wrong texture format-

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

I am so happy with how this turned out so far!

021

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

I'm half-way through my playthrough & haven't encountered any bugs so far, aside from one improper texture, so as soon as I'm finished I'll be releasing the mod on NexusMods & GameBanana. Hope y'all enjoy it :)

Special thanks to @jill.scrungus.club for making my mod possible! Astralathe is GOATED

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

I decided to make a reshade preset for my mod. I think it came out pretty good, & it should be easy to run, but just in case there are 3 options from low to medium to high.

022

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Did another touch-up of Black Velvetopia This will be the final version of the level, as I'm very pleased with how it came out :)

011

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Hmm, my birth month has arrived. I didn't notice bc I've been beaming Psychonauts' textures into my brain for like 6 months I have 2 levels that need bug fixing, and then I'm going to compress the mod since it's currently 14 GB and I think that's wayyy too big.

010

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Just realized lights reflect on Raz's body :)

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I forgot to share this when I finished Black Velvetopia's textures :)

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Lightly color-corrected each cutscene in an attempt to hide the low-res textures. I'm happy with the final results, so now I have nothing left to do but replay the entire game & see how it all came together. 🫡

031

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Final render for the cutscenes, smaller size than the other HD cutscene mods + more detail retained from the SD cutscene files. Once they are done rendering & everything is sorted, I'll be releasing the mod. About 2 weeks, give or take. :)

011

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

I finally managed to just lightly upscale the cutscenes to 1080p while avoiding the smoothed-out look that AI upscaling usually introduces. It's noticeable in every current cutscene mod for Psychonauts 1, but not for long :)

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

The Milkman has completed his route 🔥📢🔊🔥

021

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Fixing a few textures that I forgot to make repeat; at least the big line between textures is easy to spot :)

021

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

I'm at the final stage of the mod! All textures are done, aside from any I decide to retouch. Every character has a redrawn face model—no more upscaled placeholders. All that's left to do is hunt down a few bugs (some textures glow white when Raz double jumps near them) and do minor touch-ups.

031

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Messing around with Bump/Normal maps in Sasha's Lab while I let my hands rest. The mod is nearing completion; 200 textures are left in total, and then I can begin the final stages of cleanup & misc tweaks.

MilkmanConspiracy is now complete; I'm moving onto MC_MeatCircus then Gloria's Brain :)

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Old trailer that I scrapped: I have a better one in production, but it might be a while so I figured I can share this for now. 🫡

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Trying a new touch-up method on some of the more detailed textures New touch-up vs Stock Upscaled

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Finally finished touching up Lungfishopolis Moving onto Gloria's Theater - nearing completion :)

Took a break for the Holidays, have a peak at the new floor texture for Sasha's lab.

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

My Raz textures were designed to be as close as possible to this official higher quality Raz found in the Majesco logo scene.

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

A kind soul on UK eBay is willing to ship the Psychonauts DVD to me in the USA. :)

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Surprise! I've decided to do add improved Cutscenes as part of my Psychonauts overhaul!

174

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

I'm trying to find a copy of the Psychonauts Selected Scenes DVD so I can get the higher quality cutscenes from it to compare with the release copies of the game, but the only listing is for $100 on ebay... 🫠

Hello everyone, I had a slight problem happen which caused me to have to pause my work on the Psychonauts HD mod. The problem being my poor old cpu was dying, but not to worry I already ordered a new one. Jumping from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 7 5800xt :)

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

For those who want to know what the difference is between just an AI upscale vs Hand Retouched textures I've made.

Thought my neighbor's cat had been getting into my garbage, turns out it was these fellas.

Milla's Dance Party bc I forgot to show it

044

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

Someone @doublefine.com needs to explain the "Beefcake2000" texture in the game's files. It's the TF2 Coconut.jpg of the Psychonauts games, I'd like to imagine the game doesn't boot without it lmao.

010

shibaink.bsky.social @shibaink.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

I am done with touching up the entire Camp, Milla's Dance Party, Sasha's Shooting Gallery, The Nighmare lvl, and have begun work on The Asylum. I did all the hard stuff first, so now everything is going smoothly.
