Compare the detail I put into the "tiny, super low res" equipped gun versus how it looks in-game.

Well @jeffpennington.bsky.social your art has a life as an emote on my streams. But I'm pumped to give this character the life he deserves in my upcoming game.

I didn't realize I was in line at Tim Hortons with @masterbootrecord.bsky.social before the show in Toronto last night, until they took to the stage and we realized "Holy Shit that was them!"
Great show, I had an amazing time.

Bold of you to assume you can change anything about something played on paper and in imagined spaces.
Go ahead and waste your fucking money some more.

Progress on "arbitrary mocap to arbitrary rig" tool. Only looks good because this is a simple anim and rig-- I didn't solve any industry wide problems, but I did solve *me* problems.
Need this tech for the big upcoming project with @jeffpennington.bsky.social's art soon!

Any thoughts on what height is conducive to low spec tilemaps?
Looking at pics of Solstice they appear to skirt the issue of perspective by never making a level that runs into the problem.

Look, I'm sorry about the _visuals_ of being in my class. But the audio experience is top notch, I swear.

My rigging students have moved very fast this semester, so I'm exposing them to "interesting prop cases" as some bonus content.
We made this one last night.
Props can be very peculiar to rig sometimes.
