I love the stage of #gamedev where you start to feel the project come alive.

Everything might still be placeholders but you can feel the world and the characters respond to your actions. It's great.

Was very inspired by the #GuildWars2 profession art when painting my Kommandos. I imagined them walking straight out of a white, red & green canvas and slitting the throats of any unfortunate Astra-Militarum.

Archaon on steed is one the models I would most like to #kitbash. Big fan of the character.

Named characters are not often part of my armies but I made my first batch of Warriors for warcry and well, it seems cool that they'd band under Archaon. #warhammer

Concept sketches for Beast. One of the boss orcs from my upcoming game Goblin Shaman. #indieDev #illustration #conceptart

My Kommando Nob, Nidsnuffa' Shabad.

Former tankbuster who earned his title, (as well as his power claw, and most of his face), in an unprecedented display a' taktikz by shoving a grenade into the mouth of a Carnifex.

Game Jam is over and so getting back to work on Goblin Shaman.

It's #orktober this month so I'll be sharing my Waaaaagh in some separate posts!

I participated in my first GameJam. Plague Messiah is a Grand Strategy Game where you command an army of plaguebearers to spread their contagion across the land.

Rate Plague Messiah by Xetoil for Mini Jam 194: Toxic
Spread the contagion in this Grand Strategy Game made for MiniJam 194

Chosen are a real treasure trove for baroque conversions. Looking forward to seeing the bladeguard!

Finally getting back into Warhammer after a year long break... And I have a ton of projects to finish! First up is the skinthief for my Nemesis Claw Killteam! Heavily inspired by a certain Azure Knight.

One of the reasons it works so well is because it's a roguelite.

You expect a high death toll and so streamlining combat statistics helps keep the focus on the bigger picture. Such a crucial design choice IMO.

Late to the party but I LOVE #DarkestDungeon2

Throwing away Attack, Defense and Accuracy in favour of buffs is wild, and yet it makes fights feel so smooth.

I am a huge fan of tightly designed combat and this one really takes the cake.

New chibi art for #Badgersaw to add a cherry on top of the existing scoreboard.

Thinking these would make good sticker merch?

Been replaying FFVI recently. Surprising how this game offers almost no meaningful choice until about 20 hours in and yet still feels absolutely stellar.

Crazy how almost all the early skills are auto-aimed. Really puts notions of "Good Game Design" into perspective. #FinalFantasy

#IndieDev here. I make RPGs. People sometimes ask me what my inspirations are. There are many, but I almost always include #Sonic The Hedgehog. Why? One word.

I think people misunderstand positive thinking to be about how you feel, but when done right encourages you to find solutions to problems. If you get it down it really is a lifehack. #mindset #indiedev

Another day of #indieDev , another day of screaming into the void.

If there was one skill I'm grateful I spent my 20s honing it's discipline. So much of indie dev is discipline. Discipline to write code every day, discipline to learn whatever skills the project needs, discipline to adapt when the project isn't feeling right. #indiedev

"Crazy Samurai" is an underappreciated trope.

In the code he's called "AustralianDad"

(I've never been to Australia)

Being a solo developer compels me to learn with intent, and I adore it.

For instance, I taught myself Spanish guitar to create Goblin Shaman's soundtrack, and I'm thrilled with the results. #SoloDev #SpanishGuitar
