You are grocery shopping. You look at the cashier and think, “yeah, this guy wants to have a monster battle.” You throw your monster ball…and hit him in the head. You do this 3 more times. In a rage, he catches you in his own ball and forces you to battle a 3-headed dragon! What is your first move?

Drop a movie title and I’ll do my best to reply with a drawing of a scene from it. @linusbohman.bsky.social ‘s favorite will go in the game :) I’ll give this a week, and post the winning scene on March 14th🍿

It’s been a while, but I’m back to work on You’re a dad💙 And I need some help! This scene is of Mom and Dad having their first, much-needed date night in quite some time. At home movie night is fun, but what are they watching?

There is a TV with a question mark in the background. In the foreground, the hands of a man are holding a bag of popcorn and reaching into it, and then the hand of a woman is reaching to share the popcorn.

You can now visualize how a color palette distributes across OKHsv, OKHsl, OKLCh and CIELab, and compare 6 distance metrics side by side. Zero dependencies, raw WebGL2. Took me 3 years to make something I wasn't too embarrassed to share 🙃 meodai.github.io/color-palett...

If you're a 3D artist, feel free to comment as well! I'm looking for both hard-surface and soft-surface modelers, and Maya riggers!

It might be way out of your normal genre, but since you’re looking I wanted to suggest You’re a dad by @linusbohman.bsky.social . It’s a choose-your-own-adventure visual novel. I’m a bit biased (I did the art), but I really do think it’s worth a try💙 store.steampowered.com/app/3160540/...

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GAME! I saw one of your videos several months ago (I just looked your name up on YT to confirm, and yep - a vid made 1 yr ago has been watched). I couldn’t remember any details afterward other than “candy guys in mountain”😆 and it’s been plaguing me since.

Is it weird to get really excited about having your main menu and level select be a fully 3d scene the camera moves through? Less flat 2d interface and more diegetic is very fun to think about #rebelcore #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev

I decided to work on a new background for my game Skippity Rock that I am deeming Candy Mountains🍬🏔️ I want to add a slow offset to the low clouds so they move in layers, as well as vary the mountains a bit more. But even as is I think it’s cute!

I keep forgetting to do Screenshot Saturday or Wishlist Wednesday, so I’m just gonna post now for ermm Taco ‘bout My Game Tuesday🌮 The work continues on #youreadad! There’s just a few illustrations left to do in the demo. @linusbohman.bsky.social and I are both quite excited about the progress✨

A laundry room complete (from left to right on the floor) a broom with a dustpan attached, a washer, an ironing board leaning on it, a dryer with a basket on laundry on top, and a vacuum. Above these are two long shelves. The bottom shelf (from left to right) has a bottle of cleaning stuff, a box of light bulbs, an iron, and a random shoebox sitting on top. The shelf above it has laundry detergent and three bottles of cleaning spray.

The floor is tiles, and the whole room is attached to the bathroom. You can see a peek of the bathroom on the left side of a wall, where a towel bar and the shower curtain show.

The whole illustration is in grey tones with some orange lighting.

An illustration of an urban outdoor walking area. The ground is sidewalk and concrete. On the left there is a large brick planter filled with flowers and ferns and vines. On the right are two tables, each with two chairs and a flower sat on top, next to a few buildings. Two of the buildings have a bike rack with a bike situated between them. The whole image is in grey tones with some orange lighting. The plants and bike seat are colored orange as highlights.
