Been working on WPO lately and made this cool mouse effect. It's not smooth yet, but it pulls the mesh when your cursor is over it. #unreal #ue #materials #techart #gamedev

Don't you just love it when the corporate Dems show their true colors? They truly have a baffling ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Tonight was a very bad night.

I'm listening to "Words of Radiance" by Brandon Sanderson and a line came up that has me curious.

For writers: How would you describe any of the five senses to someone or something that had no concept of that sensory experience? Like, smell to something that had no nose.

I made a new portrait for our cheeto in chief, hope he likes it.

Apparently John Kennedy decided to name his book "How to Test Negative for Stupid".

Curiously, it's only one page long and has one sentence, "Don't ever listen to John Kennedy."

If there's one lesson to learn from today's events it is this:

Don't live your life in such a way that people who don't even know you would cheer your death.

Those who break the social contract are no longer subject to its benefits, including empathy over their passing.

Made a slight change to some of the highlighting and I feel it made a huge difference in this one. Great lesson to learn! #pixelart #art

my next test was doing a simple variation study on a few potion icons. In this case, 5 different potions from the same base. I wanted to see how easy it is to create a sprite sheet that I could reference for multiple icons at once. #pixelart #techart #gamedev #art

I created a rendition of a supernatural creature from my favorite book series: The Bodach from the Odd Thomas series. It's extremely hard to make it look like more than a blob to be honest, they are inky black creatures that have no form, mass, or face. They look vaguely humanoid. #art #pixelart

I was goofing around today and made a new lil' minion. Meet the M'lorb.

@pixeldailies.bsky.social I suppose this is technically more of a knife than a dagger but it's what I got!

First time trying one of these dailies, I'm happy with it though it's quite simple!

lil frog man for the day. I'm doing some practice with 16x16 pieces so I can get a better grasp on how to utilize individual pixels to more impactful effect.

Pixel art is silly. I had a lot of fun with this as I had no idea what it was gonna be until it was done. I just started doodling.

I am stoked with the initial progress I'm making with Pixel Art. I decided to try reference work today with a stock image I found on the internet, and I'm excited by the results! Here's the side by side. I still have a long way to go but this was a refreshing attempt.

I'm seriously considering getting Aseprite. I ran the trial version today and I have to say it's simplicity and ease of use is fantastic. I made this in about 10 minutes just noodling about. Super clean and easy to get new frames on.

alrighty, I finally finished up my first attempt at a sprite animation. It's ugly, it's probably wrong and inefficient, but now I can get back to the C# goodness. I'll try this again at a later time but this will work for this project right now.

These are going to be the main environment tiles for the C# tutorial I am working through. I may have to make a few more pieces (angles, inside corners, etc.), but this is the style I'm aiming for. Now on to making the character and an enemy before getting back to the scripting. Critique is welcome!

My platformer tutorial tasked me with getting pixel art for the game. So, I decided to try my hand at it. I've never done it before, but I'd say this test piece came out quite well! I've named them Chuck.

I love this video, watch it every once in a while. This is what it feels like to be a QA tester receiving testing instructions. This is also sometimes what it feels like being a dev receiving repro steps. Long story short: be clear and specific!

doing my c# tutorials and was tasked with getting a free font to import into the engine for this UI focused game (non-commercial use). Did I choose a font specifically because it had a silly name? Who knows, but now I have Mama Chubby font for my little quiz game and I couldn't be happier.

The most distracting thing in my room is not my cats nor anything I own, it's the ceiling fan. I realized recently that the sound pattern is almost identical to Gene Belcher's triangle song.
