Work marches ever on on my #lowpoly #godot project. It barely looks like anything has change since my last post but believe me, I've put far too much effort into the pettiest of things no one would ever notice but me! Also added pitch ladders, roll indicator, compass trackers and targetting brackets

Hi everyone. I have one last gift to give to the world for my 40th birthday.
The Secret Project is done, and now publicly released:
It's the Homeworld Mobile Tech Manual.

Hi everyone.
I have one other gift to share for my 40th Birthday: TrekCaptains. I'm releasing the first version of my perfect Star Trek game publicly, for free, for testing and play.
I've talked a lot about this game over the past decade. now it's time to share

Finally have something worth showing with my #lowpoly starfighter in #Godot. It is surprisingly fun to just fly around destroying these asteroids but there are 3000 of them in this scene and most of them break apart to reveal a smaller asteroid within, so it might take a while to get them all...

Anyone need any graphic design? Game textures? 3D modelling?
Look, if it's a small enough project I'm willing to do it free or minimal compensation.
Literally no one is commissioning or hiring me and at this point I'm desperate to put *something* new on my portfolio

I used to be super into designing spacecraft but over the years have sort of maxed out my interest in that particular domain, however once in a while it still Calls to me

I really like how this came out. A lovely combination of ship designs and aesthetics I like and tried out a simple scifi trim sheet collage thing for the texture. The "wings" are meant to be able to fold up under the craft for landing/launching.

If you needed another reason to buy Gunner Heat PC, they recently did an interview on AI usage in gamedev and their response is absolutely worth highlighting:
"First of all, the proliferation of LLMs and other generative AI products is an active, top-down consolidation of power by tech capital."

Found the old wireframe of the heavy fighter, originally set to the iconic PSX Demo 1 music by Harry Holmwood. More importantly, here's an interview by @darylbaxter.com with the man (on the back of @f4mi.bsky.social's excellent video about period UI magic) - darylbaxter.com/posts/harry-...

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.

As an aside I am looking for work also. It's been difficult for me to put my head into looking for a job since I'm also Full Time Dad. Doing Game Design and Patreon is like the only thing keeping me sane.
Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

More #lowpoly #blender #spaceship action from an imagined 1993 space game! I think I'm getting the hang of creating these spaceships with the right level of detail now.

It was surprisingly difficult to create a truly low poly #spaceship in #blender that meets my strict visual demands of it looking like an FMV from a fictional game between the years 1993 and 1995, but I think this mocked-up VHS found footage does the job and is really cool!
