It was surprisingly difficult to create a truly low poly #spaceship in #blender that meets my strict visual demands of it looking like an FMV from a fictional game between the years 1993 and 1995, but I think this mocked-up VHS found footage does the job and is really cool!
More #lowpoly #blender #spaceship action from an imagined 1993 space game! I think I'm getting the hang of creating these spaceships with the right level of detail now.

A wireframe version, as a treat.

Still one of the best combat space sims of all time and a huge inspiration for me. Can't recommend this one enough
House of the Dying Sun is 70% off today in celebration of its 9th (OMG) anniversary. I've learned SO MUCH since this came out!

Just subscribed. @norsehound.bsky.social posts have always been inspirational to me over the years and well worth a look for any game designers out there.
Welp, here it goes... my Patreon is up!
Right now it doesn't have much on it as I figure things out, but if you wanted a look at WZ Shogun it's up in the paid area for alpha access.
I'm not offering anything special for the different tiers, just base access.

I've discovered how to use #blender compositor after watching a tutorial to do VHS style effects and frankly, I shouldn't have this power.

Check it out and download it from the itch.io page. Since it's a prototype, there's little in the way of comforts, so be aware that you'll need a gamepad to to play it. It's not really configured for anything else.

Prototype built entirely around making cool looking spaceships landings an integral part of a game.

It should go without saying, but I strongly believe in Stop Killing Games. It has the potential to make massive waves in favor of consumer rights and protection, in an area of which there is currently no tested law.

9.6/10 people surveyed agree that we need a lot more supercolourful #spaceship s in our orbit. if we're going to be a doomed species trapped by kessler syndrome we might as well make it colourful and aesthetically pleasing!

Imma doodling mah spaceship. I have barely picked up a pen and used one to draw anything in years, but I want to be able to draw the things I enjoy looking at. I'm happy with most of this one.

Old procedurally generated #spaceship machine I made in #blender. I would play for days messing with all the parameters and nodes and just render anything that came out especially good. I've got hundreds of these renders gathering dust 😅

#Homeworld Mobile. A little gift to the community; the two versions of the Tanoch Battlecruiser side by side.
The Tanoch gifted several of these ships to the Vaygr in their space... I think it was three. We see Jochik flying in one at Star Totek.

Thankfully, many of Gamasutra's articles have been archived by Web Archive. Here's a short, and great article on how you should do thumbstick deadzones. Very easy thing to get wrong, but also pretty easy to do correctly!
