Hideo Kojima is a fan of these two artists enough to write them into Death Stranding 2. So I asked @ateliersento.com about The Doll Shop, their hand-painted horror game set in a snowbound village. Full interview 👇 www.strandedcat.com/interviews/a... #gamedev #games #unity #indiedev #ホラーゲーム

Not an artist or a programmer, Dryden Thomas was a composer and violin teacher. A unique starting point for a game developer He taught himself art, code, and animation from scratch, built a fan base documenting it all in devlogs www.strandedcat.com/interviews/d... #gamedev #games #unity #indiedev

For concept art to truly look beautiful, it first has to be functional. That's how Vladimir Mokry designs, across Apex Legends, Dragon Age and Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Rageborn. New interview on beauty and function 👇 www.strandedcat.com/interviews/v... #gamedev #games #ue5 #indiedev

Take on something you don't fully understand how to do yet, then figure it out as you go. That mindset runs through @nimsodev.bsky.social Oswin Neumann's whole career. Listen to the interview is in the link below 👇 www.strandedcat.com/interviews/o... #gamedev #games #ue5 #indiedev

Talent is worthless if it is not backed by effort. And effort alone is enough to take you places you didn't even dream of achieving. From 3D modeler at Ubisoft to full-time concept art at Eidos. Listen to the full interview with Arman Akopian strandedcat.com/interviews/a...

Good art starts with strong fundamentals, but it grows through observation, discipline, and intent. My latest interview with Olivier Bisson (Senior Concept Artist at Ampera) is a good reminder of that. #gamedev #art #conceptart The full interview is live below 👇 www.strandedcat.com/interviews/o...

A good farming system takes more than a planting loop. I just posted a new blog on my website breaking down how farming actually works in Junkland Tales, tiered tools, ground checks ... Full Blog below 👇 and don't forget to poke the cat! www.strandedcat.com/blog/farming...

Mastering the fundamentals is what lets you adapt to anything. My latest interview with Harvey Bunda (Director of SEA at Ampera) is a good reminder of that. From starting a studio out of humble beginnings to helping build the art department at Keywords Studios www.strandedcat.com/interviews/b...
