Ok so googling pictures of the Icelandic króna led me to discover that people abroad buy them to use as fantasy money in nautically themed D&D! Lol!

The coins have pretty fish and crabs on them! The notes are mostly boring, with people on them.

Finally, I'm proud to announce that #Illugen 1.0 is available.
If you need to generate assets for special effects, this is the tool for you : Spritesheets, noises, caustics, masks, meshes(including pivot baking) ... and much more to come.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Game devs support other game devs. I have NEVER seen an actual #gamedev celebrate a studio closure or a game getting bad reviews.

On the contrary, we WANT other games to succeed! Making games is hard, and shipping is even harder. We support each other.

Started setting up a starter pack for technical and vfx artists here!

It's not conclusive yet, I'll update it as I go, but it should be a great start to find some awesome artists ✨

I went through the list I made before and added most people to a starter pack so you can just follow all in one click!

there is only enough space for 150 so I will eventually make another! I'm just going through manually so some people will be missed accidentally/ran out of space

Coming from a small island in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean it is so incredibly fun and rewarding to get to go out into the world and meet other people that do realtime vfx 😊, as well as so many interesting game devs with stories to tell

André B. - CCP Myrkur 💙💛 @andrebragason.bsky.social · Oct 27

Great fun and learning at #gic24, will definitely come back to this conference in the future.
