Not pictured is the hay bale that I fell off of and broke my foot with in October. Who knew they could be dangerous?!
Started this art piece in 2017, forgot about it, finished it 2025.

Small update on the #UE5 project. Haven’t had much time this week to put towards it, but I’m almost finished with this black hole material!

Anyone that exports meshes & armatures from #Blender3D to #UnrealEngine, what are your export and import settings?
A screenshot would be fine!
Struggled w/ child bones importing w/ unwanted rotations last night (root bone was fine though). Armature & mesh transformations looked good in blender 🤷🏻♂️

Quick asteroid placeholders made in blender and thrown into #UE5. They look pretty good with some random rotation and sizes but they'll look even better with more mesh variations.

Making small steps towards building out the background. We scrapped the original skysphere implementation for nebulas. They were far too big and an unnecessary waste because the camera only looks down the -Z axis. #gamedev #unrealengine #UE5 #space

Are there block lists I can subscribe to for accounts with a following over like 200K/300K?
I don’t care where they claim to fall on the political spectrum. I’m tired of seeing them and they almost always exist to profit off your outrage.

Greetings Bluelings! Solo dev here hoping to connect with likeminded. If you like the look of this little medieval 👽 fella and his melee moves give me a follow and I'll keep videos coming as my game progresses. We come in peace! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

My dev partner (@dasmfta) is fighting illness at the moment so I haven’t had a solid opportunity to work in-engine with him just yet. So nothing here is guaranteed to make it into the game.
(The grid warps under the ship’s mass like the fabric of spacetime btw 🙃)

Here’s another nebula created in #Blender3D for our #UE5 project. Hoping to see how well they work in engine today.
These could work really well as phone wallpapers too 🙂

Spent all day building a shader in #Blender to create nebula textures for the #UE5 project. First render 😍 8K size

Excuse the sloppy cropping & compression
Got the new modular ship modeled, UV’s mapped, and imported into #UE5. Started on a legitimate master material for instancing. I’d like to be able to quickly adjust paint patterns, distressing, and colors. Maybe in-game for the player too?

A friend from high school reached out after seeing my little project in Unreal Engine. Long story short, my art + his programming background = OUR #UE5 project being taken a little more seriously?
Anyway, I’m completely overhauling the ship modeling for modularity. 😅 #gamedev #blender #lowpoly

Purchased a table from this company a while ago before any of this (and more) came to light.
In a weird stroke of luck the table arrived without their logo on it. So, despite already having given them money, I at least don't have to overtly display their brand in my home.

Wyrmwood lays off 50% of their workers, films the aftermath, and puts the whole thing on YouTube for content... including a response to Rascal’s request for comment.
Wyrmwood’s bitter medicine is proving hard for audiences to swallow

Just completed Outer Wilds for the first time and now I’m sad I can never experience the game for the first time ever again.
An incredibly rare 10/10 game for me.

Coffee orders will be a little delayed going out today. We got some snow and nobody remembers how to drive in it.

We’re running our holiday sale on coffee now! Gift yourself and loved ones some specialty coffee.
It’s a great stocking stuffer. Just saying :)
