New timelapse video, yay!
From work on Postal: These Sunny Daze cutscenes, this particular shot is from the outro, cropped in a most non-spoilery way possible.
3 hours of work for a little over 1 second of animation, at 10000% speed, including a surprise around the middle, for your viewing pleasure.

Classic Polish animation is wild, one-of-a-kind stuff. And hundreds of these films are streaming for free in restored quality.

We've taken a brief tour of the work available, with links to watch some of our favorites:

Postal: These Sunny Daze, DLC for Postal: Brain Damaged is out!
Get it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3768390/...
And yes, this means more animated cutscenes from us. Here's the intro, enjoy! Ending cutscene we advise watching in-game but if you have absolutely no impulse control it's there too.

The trailers are out so it's no secret anymore - a new DLC for Postal: Brain Damaged is coming, and this also means more shenanigans from @smilestudios.bsky.social and yours truly.
Here's character design I did for Postal Dude for this outing, and key art. Much more to come September 9th!

Something new is stirring at Smile Studios. As beneficiaries of "Program Wsparcia Gier Wideo 2024/25" we’ve teamed up with Centrum Rozwoju Przemysłów Kreatywnych to prototype our new game. It’s time to do our own thing again. More info coming soon!

I'll figure out this work life balance thing someday, but in the meantime there's all this stuff I've been doing and no time to share. Like these snapshots from a kids' nonprofit I did a while ago.

Making-of for one of animated sequences for "Going Postal: The Legacy Foretold", full animation watchable in their latest released clip so you can check it out.
This part that I bothered to record is lineart and animation keys.

I screenshotted this review of TSIOQUE just the other day and now bumped on the author here. Thanks so much for the lovely review @capabilitygames.bsky.social, still read every single one and they really matter. It's great our game can still find and touch you, for more reason than one.
