What UVing in a good level editor tool is like:
Select a face and Alt + RMB on hovered faces to flow it to that face.
I can also flow it from the hovered face to the selected faces with Shift + Alt + RMB (coming in Scythe 0.7).

When I started working on the indie horror game, Crush Depth, one of the first things I worked on was this experience of running a power bypass on Eclipse Station. I think they turned out as really fun little puzzles! Excited for people to get their hands on them #gamedev #indiegames

I can't thank enough all the animators on this project for bringing my little dog to life. A lot of indie animators whose work I follow and love a whole lot too! I knew what was coming, but the final product is still leaving me speechless. Thank you to all who worked on this! YOURE THE BEST

My contract with Blizzard sadly ends in just two weeks. Come October, I'll be looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

dr. hazel 🐝 @hazelmonforton.com · Jul 8

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

I like to lean into what my brain does naturally for a value range. If im having to look at my notes each time im using the value, that's not great. If your brain doesn't work in 0-1 while prototyping, it's likely to get worse later!
