Redoing the hair. Does it look enough like a protagonist hairstyle?

Trying a more stylized style with hand-painted textures.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was undeniably divisive, but to many who worked on it, it was a miraculous accomplishment to even ship a complete game after EA forced live-service into it, then reversed course. Now, their reward for the long hours and hard work is layoffs and transfers.

Trying the plugin Behemox Hair Generator for Blender. I had fun, it's a nice middle ground between using curves and the hair grooming tools.

Loving this conversation we are having of how Art Direction IS more important than “graphics”.

First few decades of video games advances in graphics were indeed a big leap and differentiator. But now we all have access to amazing tools and devices, and to truly stand out it IS about Art Direction 🥰
Art direction > graphics

I regret to inform you all that Bluesky has hit “I’m getting asked about it in meetings” levels of taken seriously in terms of marketing.

I was asked to be a interviewee for "The Blood on our Controllers", a documentary about Palestine & their dehumanization in games by @hippolyte.bsky.social. It's out now.

There are parts where I don't quite keep it together, and it is hard to watch myself struggle. Proud to have spoken up, though.

Didn't see a pack Hispanic and Latin game dev pack, so I made one! It's relatively small right now, so I would love to add more talented Hispanic & Latin devs to the pack.

If you'd like to be added, let me know!

If only real life had the UI that shows the duration of a debuff. It'd be really convenient to see how long until "the cold" debuff is purged off your player character. 🤧
