Hi Bsky!
I'm 3D Artist and game dev based in Cornwall, currently working on BRINE at Studio Whalefall- a boomer shooter set along the Cornish coast.

Love old tech, bad coffee, and making my GPU explode. 💙🐠

Oh I totally see it haha

I agree! I'd kill for a proper reboot, not the weird one that got cancelled... :(

It's insane that BL4 will put me through some of the most powerfully emotional storytelling in the franchise then pull this two minutes later #borderlands #borderlands4

Ah yeah! Hiro from BH6 and Barbara from Rayman were big inspos for this model, really going for the ‘anklebiter kid’ look

Andy Aksu - Working on BRINE @narklos.bsky.social · 11d

That's the idea! I've always wanted to see a proper Keen remake. Decided to just do the damn thing myself ;)

Andy Aksu - Working on BRINE @narklos.bsky.social · 11d

Keen's got proper hair now! Still working on him, but I've been a bit too busy :,)

Dundee was MAD!
Also I met Stampylongnose at the conference, childhood dream achieved

BRINE @brinegame.bsky.social · 17d

We're back from Protoplay! 🐠

Seeing everyone getting to play our latest build was amazing, and the entire conference was such a wild ride (especially when the Minecraft movie started playing loudly during our important business meeting)

Thanks for playing, Dundee! 💙🐳

Currently on a 16 hour car ride home with the team and the communal Spotify playlist is the only thing keeping us together

Andy Aksu - Working on BRINE @narklos.bsky.social · 19d

What an absolutely amazing trip! Thank you to everyone who played BRINE at Protoplay!!

Early test renders... my Commander Keen model is nearly finished! He needs more haircards and I definitely want to tweak some of these values, but progress is progress!

Finally got some time on my hands to paint my Keen model! No hair yet (doing that in Maya), but he's almost ready!
