We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Initially vaguely wanted to be a movie director so I'd started to look into schools for that, then met a guy in highschool who was ACTUALLY motivated & passionate to work on movies and that's when I realized I was way more interested in working on video games

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Nothing like having a quick look at twitch before going to bed, seeing someone playing the game, joining to see how they're doing and OH SHIT THEY JUST DID A HUGE SEQUENCE BREAK

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

[WIP] I am modifying the planet editor in my game so that it can generate foamy edges for water and other liquid surfaces.
I would also like to add support for shorelines.

Indie doesn't mean anything at this point! If your 'indie' category covers both Despelote and Expedition 33 then it's barely useful as a description!
(Also 'Kei' and 'Midi' games are cool names)

Hey folks! I uploaded a lot of rough sketches and explorations for my personal project set in the Tron universe. Obviously it's all super work in progress, but people seemed to dig them when I shared a few weeks back
