My partner & I have been building some small-games using play-doh & stop motion. Our goal is every pixel on screen to be hand-sculpted in real-life; even the UI!
We have an Instagram with some videos of our experiments! www.instagram.com/boressostudio
But guess I'll be posting here too! 😁

With the rise of AI-generated content; I predict that public demand for Behind The Scenes 'Making Of' footage of movies, videogames, music & art is going to increase. People will be more curious how their sausages are made.
We are going back to DVD-era bonus content videos! Nature is healing! 😯

Honestly, the results of ChatGPT is getting progressively worse.
Many more mistakes compared to a few years ago. You also have to ask it more questions to eventually get to a somewhat usable answer.

I've seen 2 week projects become immensely successful. I've seen 5 year projects fail spectacularly. The time invested into something has barely any relevance to its success.
Whether the time was used properly is much more of a positive indication, and only you, the creator, can influence that.

Of course my most listened to artist of 2025 is a Singapore Grindcore band with 60 seconds songs.
Of course my most listened to album of 2025 is the best black metal album released in many years.

Forever pondering the situation many years ago when I had to wait 6 months for a $300 art outsourcing expense to get approved by finance but at the same time saw a 'drinks and food' expense of $10k get approved in 5 minutes.

Finally saw Kraftwerk last night!
Wild thought to watch an artist who basically invented a music genre about 50 years ago. 🤯

Curious how this will actually technically work. Is Epic going to be providing UEFN-type tools as a Unity package on Asset Store? Or will Fortnite just be a front-end launcher for Unity-generated executables?
Regardless, its generating alot of positive PR which is a nice change. 🙂

Unity 🤝 Epic Games
Developers around the world will be able to bring their games to Fortnite while Unity’s cross-platform commerce platform is coming to @unrealengine.bsky.social soon.
When ecosystems are open, everyone wins!

The more physics-based character controllers I write, the more I lean towards the notion that 99% of issues are solved by it being just a rolling sphere collider that has forces pushing it and the visuals are context-aligned inside it. 🤔
