Taking a break for today; not the lighting I originally intended, but it will do. Both the murals are from the now closed White Flint Mall in Bethesda, Maryland; Wasn't able to find the original artist, but at least it can live on forever in this game now. 😤

Testing pre-rendered backgrounds for a project. This took several hours of research to figure out. This was just a test scene. Tomorrow I'll try doing a HD styled cave in #FF9 style; but will take some time to make it in 3D, then touch it up with my tablet for the final render/bg.

Great way to start 2026 by going almost 40k dollars in debt because I get appendicitis and nearly die.

If anyone is looking for a fullstack Godot developer; I'm pretty desperate for work at the moment now. Will do oddjobs, and prototypes as well for stupidly low prices.

Here's me totally screwing around within the first 20minutes of importing the model into Godot. I love these clouds but obviously they can't be in every level, lol.

Out of hospital finally. Apparently my appendix burst; which only gave me some sharp initial discomfort; then some dull aching pain for 2 days. Then it went down to zero pain; and I've been in hospital for 3 days on antibiotics.

lol wtf

I DID ANOTHER GAME JAM

For @thatgamecompany.com's #thatgamejam. I dreamed up a, overscoped adventure about death, life, and birth.

What @jam-bone.itch.io, @phoenixdsteele.bsky.social, @joecalderone.bsky.social, and @sia-fbx.bsky.social made with me was a cute, fun romp up a coupla stairs.

Enjoy!
I was the programmer for this game made for #thatgamejam. I think its pretty neat. It's a puzzle platformer where you play as some pillbugs trying to make their way home. Go play if you like bugs, pills, pillbugs or entropy

Another screenshot. It's Christmas; so I'm gonna stop here and enjoy rest of the night. But this will be the center piece for the map, an overgrown tree.

Early base render of the level; with nothing added. Posting work for the end of day.

The #FinalFantasyIX animated series is still happening. A new studio, Euro Visual, has reportedly taken over. They're still following Cyber Group Studios concept and are targeting a 2028 release. #FF9 #FFIX25th

Promised a post a day for this current game. Here's character 01. No name yet.

What name would you give them...? Might use it lol. 😃

There's a level of dumb I'm willing to admit to.

My drawing tablet could hold a charge, and in 3 years I've always plugged it in; I never once thought. "It probably can connect wirelessly..."

Why else would it be able to hold a charge Phoenix...?! 😤

Initial Concept. Since I'm going straight to the 3D Model and not passing it a modeler, I'm not doing a side-view; since I have a grasp of the depth in my head.

I will model one of them tonight.

Rambunctious teens, exploring liminal malls. 👀 What could go wrong?

I am officially the 3D Artist, and environmental designer, NOT A PROGRAMMER... For once!

Lets see how good this workflow with blender is. I will post pics each day.

I think it might be the best workflow for 3D design, among ANY of the engines. Lets prove it.

Good watch; if you want to know about obscure indie games, and like second monitor content.

Sharing for visibility. #gamedev #indiedev

This is fucked up, and puts everyone involved with that company in a bad situation. The screenshots alone are so disgusting to read.

Why is it so hard to just be a GOOD PERSON, and not be a absolute fucking creep?

Hello my cursed followers, for the past 2.5 months I've been working as an artist on my first ever proper group game project; a fishing AND fighting game called Tackle Box: The First Catch!

It is now available on Steam and it's free, please give it a try if you can! 🐟 #tacklebox #indiegame
