I drew an isometric cut-away ship for a German RPG called Adventure Islands not too long ago. It was a lot of fun, though a little tricky at times 🙂

Boats and ships are amongst my favourite things to draw maps for, but this is the only isometric one I've done.

During the Siggraph Asia committee dinner last night, celebrating the successful conclusion of this year's event, I met a lot of people who asked about the #demoscene and for some reason; about making music on old systems. There are plenty of good videos on this, but here are a few I can recommend:

whenever I'm like "hey if there's no game jobs, then there's no game jobs, I'll just quit already", I'll get a message like this, and it makes me realize.

We're indies, we share knowledge and skills, and help each other out. That's what this industry is about, for me.
So I learned recently that you're the pixel artist that did the assets for Unity's isometric 2D tutorial. Little Rocket Lab actually started from that exact tutorial and was build into what it is today. So thank you for helping me get my start on the game!

And another... #Bridport carnival.
@greyalien.bsky.social
Agree that it looks like the 70s. Look how new Sea Rd Sth is! 😮
The carnival used to start on what is now the A35, and finish where Morrisons is. The video is taken not far from where we used to stand and watch 😍👍🏻

Really hoping that anyone making a "Games to look forward to in 2026" list hasn't forgotten about our game, Forbidden Solitaire, which is due out early in 2026.

This one. Yeah, it's PCVR only for Quest, but I'm OK with that. I played a lot of PC games streaming rather than wired, and I thought it worked great🙂

Looks like this has Guncon emulation for a whole bunch of PS1 games I had. Now I just need to get my PC working again😅

The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded.
