brb renaming all my particles 'smork'
The demo version of Mario Kart: Double Dash contains an unused Game Over screen. Notably, the smoke graphics used here are humorously called "smork" internally. It is unknown if this is a legitimate misspelling of "smoke" or if the word was deliberately spelled in a funny way.

I thought everyone already knew about this but apparently not, so--
Between Porco Rosso and Princess Mononoke, Hayao Miyazaki directed a music video for the pop duo Chage and Aska, and it goes incredibly hard.

Recently PTCGL released some card shaders that I worked on - mostly I polished existing foil designs to enhance colors and etch support.

Fill it in! Salary transparency by crowd sourcing. As usual white women are overrepresented in this data at the moment. Men! This is a way to champion equity. Tell us what you're earning.

using freecam and exploring game environments can teach you so much. this is a great technique for blending billboards that need to look good from steep angles. even when the camera is closer than the LOD system would allow, its still pretty convincing

Something that I'm sure was found early but deemed too risky to fix 😓 Mess with the ring/hand attach point, and suddenly anything else that would attach to the hand is busted... just part of being a game dev (and cringing in sympathy when you see it)
