Hello new folks 👋
I'm Andy, and I'm a Senior UI/UX Designer at Respawn.
I've been in games for over 12 years, working on a bunch of stuff across PC, console and mobile.
You may have seen some of my work in things like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Sea of Thieves, Dirt 5 and GRID.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.
If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

Reposting cos it's that time again 👻
It's spooky season which means it's once again time to recommend my personal favourite horror game of all time: SOMA.
It has an incredible story, the ending will haunt you long after you finish, and it's relatively short at around 10 hours.
Also it's currently on sale for less than a coffee.

Finally wrapped up Alien Earth. And while I enjoyed a lot of the setup, the last 2 episodes fell pretty flat and didn't really pay things off in a satisying way.

Forever wishing I could wipe this game from my memory to experience if fresh again.

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.
For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:

Irregular reminder that alt text on images is a valuable accessibility tool, and also lets your images show in search results or respect mute lists. For instance, I found the below image by searching "capybara alt text".

Hey Brits! I'm sure you've seen this, but quite a lot of us don't dig this move. I certainly don't.
Seems invasive and quite open to abuse (and hacking!), especially looking at the shower in power and the worse shower waiting in the wings. Yeesh.

Spent far too many hours grinding out a gear set for a job I barely even play but as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.

The fact that they canned it after one season and left the story unfinished is frankly criminal.
I mean it literally has the greatest theme tune of all time:

Team Cherry, to the best of my knowledge, never diminished the work of contractors. Let that be clear.
It was brainrotted assholes who want to insist that gamedev “isn’t that hard” and “only needed a few devs and a handful of contractors” to get this masterpiece out the door.
Don’t fall for it.
