WIP. Some recent texture experiments — trims really are everything.

#GameDev

In a hallway of antiseptic teal panels, a mechanical fixture painted in a vibrant contrast of white and cobalt. Forty-five degree insets and typographical styling where not rectilinear and salient on this stark design is the acronym "VA".

A dull reflectivity on hazard stripes catch a blue light that crests to a glinting of scratches and edge wear on a beige polymer device that curves from the floor. The mechanism forewarned to caution.

Intricate metal lattices and supports, a substrate for the negative space of large and metal panels that comprise the walls of a hallway. Crimson is the light that catches upon the corner gleaming of a duct of the hallway.

Leaning over people is kinda rude tho
My body temperature and general unresponsiveness is none of your concern as well!!

Too many barrels blowing up in Half-Life 2, launching physics objects so hard, the fps goes into single digits and sfx repeat 10 times as if it's a techno track = pure ecstasy

These past few years, browsing game industry news feels like flipping through a scrapbook of near-misses - each headline is another quiet “thank god I wasn’t hired there” or "phew, dodged that bullet" 😑😣

We stand in solidarity with employees and ex-employees at Build a Rocket Boy as they file legal claims through our union and publish an open letter, condemning the way in which they’ve been mistreated and discarded by the studio’s millionaire executives.

Man, Scythe is a usability oasis :D

I was wondering, are there any plans for UV mapping specific areas to selected faces? Hotspotting is already half-way there, but full on "select a region of a texture > map it onto a face" would be incredible for modelling imo

I would assume the original was sculpted in 3D as well?

Babe, are you ok? You barely touched your The Matrix Reloaded overdesigned yet stylish cell phone with a spring-loaded speaker, released as a real life movie tie-in model SPH-N270 by Samsung.

Have you tried Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown? Finished it recently and really enjoyed it!

Arvy @arvy.bsky.social · 5d

Interesting! I can think of an example - for instance, I love WoW’s aesthetic but the gameplay never grabbed me. I wish it had direct action combat instead of the hotbar/cooldown setup.

But that’s me wishing for an entirely different game, since there are technical reasons WoW is built like this.
