Nobody talks about the more mundane parts of game dev.
For example, this morning I'm tweaking how often the sheep bleat to find the right balance between "these sheep feel alive" and "this is incredibly annoying."
And what if the player hoards sheep??

Maduro is not there, but the rest of the Regime head does, and looks like they are alredy abducting civilians just for the chats, plus footage of armed groups in the city allies to the government.
Yeah, sure, democracy is when after every time I chat with a relative inside the country about politics I need to delete the messages in case they are stop by a soldier while driving and forced to show the chats.

So I see a ton of "looking for work" posts portfolio websites and want to call out a couple of things I see all the time:
- no mention of location? Are you in the US? Canada? Even for remote roles this matters a LOT
- no linkedin url. Yes I know it's a dumpster fire but it's basically a must have

Did a simple thread with some examples of how you may want to consider framing and cropping your renders to get a lot more out of your work if yea interested in that kind of thing.
3d artist you don’t need to stick to the video sizes that are default, why do landscape when portrait will work better, why do wide when you have loads of empty dead space making your work smaller on screen? Make them square and make your work the focus.

Sometimes I feel people ignores the concept of "Some blatantly lie to you to gain your support" when it can breaks the narrative created in their heads, this is for both sides of the political spectrum.

This was my first time using Godot physics, and learned about it like a month ago, I must say Jolt is magical, and is really fun to make this kind of little features.

Frankly I’m amazed it’s lasted this many years, last game I worked on got pulled after 3 months and delisted. To last years and be playable in this time of the industry is impressive and also very sad it’s an outlier.
Anthem's end is nearly here - only days remain before EA will switch off the servers to BioWare's ill-fated multiplayer game www.eurogamer.net/anthems-end-...

it is fucking impossible for a huge amount of people- even progressives- to hold two truths at the same time. I think it kinda ties into the whole media literacy thing

But for real poly counts and draw calls and material sizes will be even more important to keep track of now that hardware will be prohibitively expensive for a while. And even so the more you save the more can throw on screen when done right.

The new trick to sounding like you have a clue what you’re doing as a senior 3d artist is to call out draw calls and if you think something using to meany. The answer is always one can be removed and your a hero for doing so.

I have shared this channel and its animations in the past and I still feel if your doing material work you chould take a leaf in terms of how to show your work off instead of only the big standard spinning cube or sphere. #reference
