Fini Chronoquartz (avec la bonne fin) !
Je l'avais comparé à un Animal Well sans la plateforme. En fait, c'est beaucoup plus un Outer Wilds en pixel art, et c'est vraiment très cool. Meilleur puzzle game de l'année pour moi. Par un solo dev Français en plus :)

SHOOTY SHOOTY ROBOT INVASION passed 8,000 sales recently, and it's still on sale for 5 bucks‼️‼️
it's a silly hand drawn FPS/visual novel with ~10 hours of absurdist shenanigans to enjoy, so go check it out!!

show me how you draw armor!

Covered in knick-knacks to hide my poor knowledge of how to draw it 😅
Coloured digital drawing of a sylph warmage. Their hair is like smoke flowing in long streak. Within the smoke the text "War Mage" is spelled out They are clad in armour and covered in different odd knick knacks and weaponry. Over their shoulder they have slung a large warhammer. Above them they can be seen clad in a beak like helmet in a sideview. Smoke flows out of small holes in the beak. Digital coloured drawing of a Strix woman clad in a suit of armour. Her skin is a pale blue, her hair is raven black and made up in a flowing ponytail. A white feather sits in her hair while a pair of spectales sits on her nose. Her plate armour is raven black, shimmering with iridescent greens and adorned with bonewhite birdskull details. Her right hand holds a large grimoire and her entire body is framed by two black feathery wings. Concept art sheet of a powder witch, to the left there are a set of cannon itterations, in the middle a rendered picture of the witch, to her right a backview of her design. and to the top right a sort series of sketches showing the witch charging and firing her cannon

I made this sci-fi puppetry 60s pastiche. CGI, almost completely physics-animated. Love letter to things like Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5, Space Patrol, and watching foreign television only to lose it forever afterwards youtu.be/ME7SVM7bwKU?si=jUYR6APY28kPCUqk

C’est la période des portes ouvertes des écoles. N’y allez pas si vous (ou votre famille) n’avez pas les sous. Jamais.

Y’a plein de parcours publics, d’ingénieur qui permettront un enseignement complet.

Happy 🔧 ICONOCLASTS 🔧 anniversary!

Sat a long time on physical goods, and could use help for coming projects. I decided to try a few auctions for support! Hope this is a good avenue for those of you asking for this.

I have always been grateful for your support! 💛

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1...

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

Je pense que pour cerner toute cette folie, il faut commencer par comprendre qu'il s'agit désormais d'un phénomène religieux. En fait, les discours des promoteurs de l'IA me rappellent furieusement les appels à la Croisade.

Panel 1: Shen is pointing at you and saying "I'll PROVE to you that Santa ISN'T REAL," with a smug/mischievous expression. Panel 2: Shen has written a letter and is holding an envelope to put it in. The letter says "Dear Santa, for this christmas all I want is an ASSKICKING." Shen says "Heh." looking at it. Panel 3: Shen is sleeping peacefully in his house with the door closed behind him. He's got a generic landscape painting hanging on the wall. Panel 4: The door behind him pops open, with Saint Nick himself now standing in the doorway in a wide stance, and a few snowflakes flying in. Shen's eyes likewise pop open.

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!

We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Angeline Era is out NOW!!! ^.^ here's a breakdown of some elements and techniques I used to create the HUGE visual world of Era. Ultra-dense action and secrets meant a bigger focus than ever on visual clarity and communication! ⚔️🔍

See it in action!!
store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...
Cube-based environment art (along with melos’s “auto-cuber” tool) allows for the efficiency and complex secrets-hinting of 2D tilesets combined with the benefits of 3D lighting and atmosphere. Large “EnviroChunks” with flexible triplanar materials quickly establish setting in the background of scenes. Gestural vertex colors quickly and beautifully define characters that pop against the environment and look good small or large onscreen. iNaturalist.org can be an amazing resource for game artists, featuring species id and many public domain community photos of life on Earth! Matcap materials are good for creating shiny or translucent objects while maintaining a simplified/stylized look.
