It's that time of year again💥ExplosionTober💥

Any form of media is welcome! It can be 2D VFX, real-time, simulation! Whatever you want to use! If 31 days is too much, check out the 13-prompt reduced version!

Can't wait to see the results!

In all and complete honesty, GDC has not been for *developers* for a long time, and especially not for *workers*.

We need a Game Workers Conference. Unironically.

Swordnik 20: Vapor

Today's design is a spectral guardian knight that uses a incense burning Censer as its base.

Lots of fun VFX here! I do love making armor when I can.

Finally getting a chance to start reading Debug++ from @debugmag.com. Between this, @gameinformer.com, and @apwot.bsky.social, I love reading mags again.

Are there others that people recommend that I'm missing?

I've been experimenting making vfx using Unreal engine's curve atlas as a substitute for color map texture files

Our brain is incredible at detecting edges, to the point where too much visual clutter makes it harder for players to focus on what matters.

Blending meshes isn't always about making it look good but helping the important stuff "pop".

Used MeshBlend + "Find edges" filter to visualize

We need a law that says if you're only driving your car for fun, you must do it on a race track. And if you are driving a car for transportation, it must have a speed regulator, and your phone will be disabled as soon as you enter the vehicle.

Make a game they said! (no one said this)

It'll be fun they said! (absolutely no one has ever said this once)

You can be on the intersection of art and technology they said! (this is an especially egregiously false thing that no one has ever expressed outside of sarcasm)

So GMTK Jam ended today and this was the entry I helped with - Echo Rider!

Mario Kart / F-Zero zero-grav hybrid where each lap you fight off the ghosts of your last laps with items for the fuel to survive 5 loops!

Made a racing game in 4 days with @finitereflect.bsky.social for GMTK Game Jam 2025! I've always enjoyed Mario Kart 8's antigravity system, so it was fun to finally take a swing at that kind of track design!
