100% with James on this one.
It's been hard to watch Onward's journey since my departure from the studio. I'm sadly not surprised to see it shuttered. 😔
Such a shame and waste of potential though! Back when the team was tiny, we had so much fun and endless ideas about what it could become. Also had such a great community! 🙏

Yo game makin friends. Am looking for a very specific kind of contract 3d environment/prop artist. Specifically one used to working off of trim sheets / hot spot maps (same modelling style you see in HL: Alyx for example). Lemme know if you know anyone who does that kind of work.

Art without an artist isn't
Slightly depressed hearing students and academics raving about AI last night. General theme: "AI makes things easier and faster so we can make more great art!" I dunno in my experience the effort is what makes 99% of the good stuff good :/

Incredible.
That they think this is something worth showing off, I mean.. It's an insult to game developers and gamers alike if you ask me.
