🍓 We've got lots of strawberries and raspberries growing so if you like fresh berries and you #HireMe as your #GameDev I might just share a few 😁

It's also fantastic for my #MentalHealth. Sometimes you just need to step away from the job listings and go touch some grass. Or lettuce I guess. 🥬🥬🥬

I've got big plans for it come spring! It's already producing lots of veg for us, which is super useful since finding a job in the #GameMarket is proving difficult haha (fake laugh hiding real pain 🥲). It's keeping us fed in the interim. 🥗

I grew up on a #biodynamic farm in India 🇮🇳 and it was one of the most beautiful places in the world. Leeds has its own beauty, but I miss the greenery, the abundance of life and getting my hands dirty. 💪

The glowing objects flowing into the black hole is from a large particle system with subtle trail renderers.

The rest of it is post processing effects like bloom, vignette, chromatic aberration.

The distortion effect I learned from Binary Lunar in this video.

I then amplify the effect by slowly rotating the sky cylinder with the Milky Way textured on it.
