I learned that the word Revival can refer to the comeback of TV shows after long break! It makes more sense 😅

What a weird subtitle for P4 remake isn't it?
I'm wondering if they could have used REWIND or something that fits the imagery of the game better. Like how RELOAD was perfect for P3 guns to summon Personas.

Not sure if buying a new pair of Dr Martens was the best idea right out of a week of lumbago, but my 10 years old ones started to break apart to the point I couldn’t lace them tight anymore.
Funny break in days incoming 🥲

The main reason i'm not a huge fan of ray tracing is that every great movie shot is the result of cinematographers very purposefully finding spesific ways to cheat past natural lighting

I'm a bit confused about the direction for the new Camera icon in iOS26. It seems they overall simplified and flattened new icons to work better with their glass look, but the Camera got a reverse treatment? Back to skeuomorphism but just for this one? 🤔

…and why is Cow face not animated at all?

Nathan✦ @nathandupouy.bsky.social · Jun 9

Ok ok Cow is cool, but can we talk about this absolute queen?

Very cool brushed VFXs in the incoming Shinobi.

We found the room and we're not ready to stop here, the game is so good! What a joy to investigate together as a couple 💙

It’s monday, but all I can think of is going back to Mount Holly Estate to continue to seek for this 46th room tonight 🗣️

I still can't get over how many cool ideas Aggro Crab managed to squeeze in Another's Crab Treasure.
Like you can learn to grow your shell again with your ki when it broke during combat, and it will look like kintsugi, the japanese art of repairing broken pottery!

Daughter: what game are you playing?
Me: The Outer Worlds
Daughter: is that the one where there's like a time limit and you have to figure stuff out before the world ends or something?
Me: No, that's Outer Wilds
Daughter: oh yeah! I really want to play that one

Colors done!
I couldn't resist adding a little Art Nouveau UI too 🌱

I recently needed to draw something after visiting Paris and reading about Solarpunk! Rough is done so the real fun can finally begin with colors 🎨

@lejenk603.bsky.social I won't lie I got goosebumps reading your words today. Thank you so much for encapsulating in such a good way what we try to achieve making this game 🥹

‘33 Immortals,’ Even in Early Access, Will Be Able To Stand Side-By-Side With ‘Hades’ -- It’s Glorious, Therapeutic, Uncharted Chaos (Early Access Impressions)

'33 Immortals' is the best action roguelike I've played since 'Hades.' Nothing will prepare you for the glorious, constant insanity.

What an awesome Art Direction Max!
Congratulations to the team 👏
Those colors, painterly textures, anime framerate animations and 2D VFX look so nice. I'm definitely waiting for the release.

I've been working on this game for over 7 years and some of that time with an awesome team. We have so much to share with you all and I hope you enjoy it! youtu.be/keA0jqnl-Rw?...

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

Still feel it would be nice if fighting games could allow us to pick two favourite colours for our character in case we come across a mirror match with someone already using a similar one, instead of reverting back to a color we might dislike.

The UI in the latest Zelda game is bad. It's inefficient and annoying. So I fired up Unity and offered some alternatives.

Can I fix Zelda's UI using Unity?
