having encountered many times over the past few years large online tech platforms deciding not to let me put my stuff on them for strange and arcane reasons and refusing to elaborate i really feel this--it's nice to read another account of such a Platform Experience.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

still looking for level design work!
I can work in Unreal, Unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. I have worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community mod projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2.

Working on portal inspired Light bridges. Classic, but the space folding mechanic makes them interesting.

Some other angles. The lighting has been in all sorts of different states so it's kind of between looks atm. Been bouncing around colours trying to echo the look of 70s pulp sci-fi and films like Outland. But I feel I ended up drifting too far away from brutalism.

Another solve. If you've noticed from Outpour's trailer, the gargoyle can pull blocks from afar. I've been reworking how pulling behaves, and its appearance.
