Big fan of this tree bark texture.
Reminds me of the one from Alias 3 a fair lot.

Antonblast is a fascinating case study of indie game development because it had so much setbacks and problems that would topple over any other indie game yet it released.

Editing the images to be aligned nicely.
I will be releasing these as a texture pack on itch io.
Don't know if I'll make them seamless since doing that by hand is very annoying lol

Touched grass and took dozens of photos of suburban environments for the case of texture creation.
I'll see what I can do with them.

I feel like I work best when I'm developing in isolation without trying to course-correct from my original ideas due to mid-dev feedback.
Of course feedback is good though. I just prefer having something done my way first before wanting any.

Pre-concept art does exist but you're still better off doing a crude pencil sketch to hand to the artist than using AI for it
Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"
There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

These animations I'm making are really funny in stills...
They will make a lot more sense in action.

Realized the example image is too subtle which doesn't explain my reasoning correctly.
Here is the same example but with a lower poly model which shows more extreme effects on subsurf that edgeflow'd edgeloops can fix.

I don't know if this is being explained right at all, but using edge flow tools on added edge loops to expand your model can fix the shrinking effect caused by subsurf.

Being young is questioning why the educational system exists and why it pushes students so hard.
Being old is the realization that ignorance of knowledge at a critical period in life is why we have so many issues right now.

Its funny how only a few days in making this place my social media home again I've become more tolerant and thinking about things I dislike far less.
Its nice being happy for a change.

Duck Dodgers for N64 (yes, this exists) honestly looks surprisingly good.
I really like the way everything pops out.
Low poly works wonders with the abstract style of the source material.

Distancing myself from people with extreme opinions and thoughts has cleared a lot of fog from my mind.
I feel a lot happier with no longer being in fear of having to stay in line.
Sometimes, you just need to be yourself. No memes or irony to mask personality. No social stigmas of opinion.

I believe that the idea of story not mattering in games is an outdated view of the medium.
Many games use characters and their motives as a method of expression.
Story shouldn't be the main reason to make a game but rather a method of support for engagement and interest.

Of all platforms I shared my Art vs Artist video, Twitter been the only place where some people were actually disappointed I was black!
I screenshoted that one because it's so hilarious to me!
If you are a popular animator and make cute things, you can't be black? So Twitter 😂😭
