Super excited to announce that Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss is finally out NOW on Quest 3, Steam, and Apple Vision Pro! Incredibly proud of this team and what we've made here. It's come so far over the last 3 years we've been working on it.

The first image is from May, 2022. The other is now.

Had an ad pop up on Youtube for Photoshop and whatever their newest gen-AI bullshit is, but of course in the ad settings "AI" is not listed among the options I can filter out 🙄🙄🙄

Guess I'm just gonna filter out all Adobe ads instead.
A screenshot of the ad settings page in the Youtube app. There is a section labeled "See more or fewer ads like this" with two options listed underneath: "Photo Software" and "Adobe."

Hey! My name's Kieran and I'm a solo dev working on Farmageddon, a turn-based tactics game set in the post-apocalypse where you balance your actions between farming and fighting while trying to save plant/animal hybrid creatures known as "farmiliars."

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by and played Farmageddon at PRGE yesterday! I got some great feedback and wrote down a ton of notes that are going to help me take the game in a good direction.

More to come!

So happy to be diving back into this project again. I've been fleshing out the terrain tiles to make for smoother transitions, filling in missing details, and fixing little issues I didn't have time to get to before.

A bit delayed, but our panel "Let's Make a Video Game: Live On Stage" at PAX West was another huge success. This is the 5th time I've done this panel across 4 years and it's still so much fun every time. We're hoping to bring the panel to other shows in the near future, too.

Trying to get back into doing consistent dev work on Farmageddon, but I was struggling with making some changes to this UI element. Decided it might benefit from a state machine and after mapping out all the states and transitions... well, I see why I was struggling 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

A chart mapping the various states of a UI element called "Unit Info." The various states are shown in blue rectangles with rounded corners, and the transition conditions are shown in yellow rectangles.

Excited to say I have a very good reason for dusting off this very old project of mine...

A screenshot taken in Maya of three 3D models of units from the game Advance Wars: a tank, an APC, and an artillery unit. The models have a low polygon count and use low-resolution, pixelated textures.

Looking back on this project, I wish I hadn't been so rushed. There's something pleasant in the textures and surfaces in this Zbrush render that I wasn't able to preserve when I went through the texturing process in Substance. Hope I get the chance to revisit this some time.

A render from within Zbrush of a character sculpt. The character is a young woman with wine-red hair, equipped in armor and a colorful, quilted tunic. She stands in a neutral A-pose.

Hey! Thanks for hosting! I'm Kieran and I'm working on a turn-based tactics game set in the post-apocalypse called Farmageddon. You are trying to grow, save, and collect plant/animal hybrid creatures while being set upon by waves of radiation-mutated bugs.

It's been a super fun week in Boston. GodotCon and PAX were both great. Revisited old haunts like Anna's Taqueria and Zaftig's. But the unexpected highlight of the trip has been this tiki bar called Wusong Road. Great drinks. Great food. Ghibli films playing on the TVs. I've been here like 4 times.

In Boston this week for GodotCon and PAX East and decided to revisit my old stomping grounds. It's been 20 years since I've been back here, and some things have changed but it's kind of amazing how much has stayed the same.

Hit a big milestone on Farmageddon and sent the build to some friends. Taking a break while I wait for their feedback, and in the meantime I've been building this little tool for a D&D campaign I'm running.

Found these awesome UI assets by @kenney.nl that have really come in handy.

The screenshot shows the main menu of the tool where you can create a new campaign, load a campaign, or learn more about the tool A screenshot of the "Perception Manager" tool where you are using the UI prompt to enter the names of characters in your D&D campaign. A screenshot of the campaign view of the "Perception Manager" tool I'm building. The characters shown in the previous image have now been entered into the campaign. A panel for each character is displayed on the screen, and the user can enter information that affects each character's perception score and, ultimately, their perception check rolls.

I'm a few days late, but a very happy 20th anniversary to #Psychonauts, which to this day is still my favorite game of all time and very near and dear to my heart.

Sculpted and painted Sasha in Zbrush, rendered in Marmoset Toolbag.

Even though it's been a minute, I'm still pretty pleased with how these grass tiles for Cryptozootography turned out. Included a few shots of how they ended up being used in game.

Thanks for hosting! I'm super early in development on a side project called Farmageddon! It's a post-apocalyptic turn-based tactics game where you grow and collect plant-animal creatures called "farmiliars" and save them from radiation-fueled predators

#TurnBasedThursday #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot
Key art for the game Farmageddon. A human character with knife in hand is standing on a sandy desert hill next to a couple of plant-animal hybrid creatures. In the background are insect-like creatures sneaking up on them, with more of these creatures looming in the foreground. An in-game screenshot from Farmageddon. A pig-like unit, named "Pigtato," is being selected, and it's movement range is highlighted in tiles surrounding it on the battlefield. Meanwhile a couple of human units are standing nearby, and the entire group is surrounded by a number of insect-like enemies. Another in-game screenshot of Farmageddon. It is nighttime in the game and visibility is lowered. A couple of human characters, one of which is holding up an item they just harvested, are standing near a couple of sheep-like creatures. A swarm of insect-like enemies are swarming in from the lower left. An early, bare-bones UI screen for Farmageddon. Three panels offer information related to "Storage," "Craftable Equipment," and "Team Composition."

Hey #portfolioday! My name's Kieran and I'm a senior artist making games at Polyarc. In my (very limited) spare time I also sculpt toys and collectibles, and I'm working on a solo tactics game project in #godot called Farmageddon. I love stylized aesthetics and learning new things.
