The extreme heat is making it difficult for me to stay focused on my work. I'm doing my best, but it's almost unbearable without AC. Please expect a little less output from me than usual, until it cools down a bit again 🙇♂️

#pixelart tip: if you give everything a thick 2 pixel outline there's less pixels you can mess up because you lack drawing skills

follow me for more terrible tips

LOOOOOOK I made a game in s&box, it took about an afternoon including creating the assets 🛩️

If you know Unity, you know this - simple as that.

(I'll complete this and get it up to a playable state soon)

Would you all like another teaser of my upcoming boomer shooter creator? Alright! #gamedev

Here's how to support human artists! 🎨

Yesterday I spent an hour with my girlfriend teaching her how 3D model (using SketchUp), she made a lamp! So proud 🫠 You should all encourage her!

For the first time in 12 years I've bought a new computer, transfering all my files and software to that today! Really exciting. It means I can finally create high definition PBR raytraced game assets!

(kidding, pixel art and low poly it is.)

Often when our list of Adobe alternatives is shared people comment that it's okay to pirate Adobe software. It's not, because that still supports Adobe through usage and staying in their ecosystem. Instead, do look into alternatives!
