Verminia says trans rights.
Now more than ever it's so important to create spaces either physical or virtual where trans ppl can feel safe to express themselves in any way they want. As a designer on Soulframe I will strive to help make alca a welcoming and inclusive space for all trans people. 💕

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Bromius is out. This is single handedly the best thing I have worked on in my career. I’m so proud of the story we told and the gameplay we created to tell this story. If your in preludes, you can play this now.

Imma go have a wee happy cry now and start to relax for the long weekend.

As some one who fell accross both her sholders and have been dealing with nerve pain ever since I would go to a doctor. I struggled to breath for a few days after the fall but it als felt like it was something else, getting checked up was the right but annoyingly expensive call.

Ghost of yotei is a pretty dramatic improvement over Tsushima. They disguise a lot of systems a lot better to make them feel more seamless in the world and I’m liking there approach to story telling way more this time, it’s much more exploratory in nature then how ghosts was very point to point.

The sims and apex legends is so fucked.
Those are the two games in ea's line up that actively get new queer content added regularly.

Hideo Kojima announced a Kojima Productions credit card with MUFG Bank!

He said when he started Kojima Productions no banks wanted to give him a loan but the President of MUFG bank was a big fan of Kojima and knew he could trust him from playing all the Metal Gear Solid games!

Had my hands all over this. Mostly making the transitions work and feel good heh.

This bear is the silliest thing I have ever worked on as a designer. The art and level designers killed the gross but silly vibe to sell this moment.

Nathan Grayson @nathangrayson.bsky.social · 17d

the demo of an upcoming soulframe quest was, I'm pretty sure, the first time I've ever seen a video game take the player inside a bear. so I had to know: how much effort went into building that bear's guts?

But how do you model a bear’s esophagus and stomach for exploratory purposes? Where do you even start?

“I searched online for images of bear throats and any other variant available,” Soulframe lead environment artist Enrico Santi told Aftermath. “It’s tricky because there are not as many images of a bear's throat as one would think. So you have to use what resources are available, like the throats of other creatures: humans, for example, and whatnot. You have to trust your instincts as an artist to make the iterations that feel visually in line with the overall aesthetic.”

“There is a running gag that I watched over 40 hours of bear colonoscopy videos,” he added. “It was not the case, unfortunately.”

whatever it is you like about your favourite wellington bars and restaurants, I can just about guarantee you is because of the underpaid and underappreciated people who work there--and that they probably had to fight the owners in order to do it
