Working on my AM Radio Simulation. Spent forever getting the modelling done (a few graphical errors need cleaning up). Getting there :D

Fellow gamedevs, which image do you think is scariest and why (or if none of them, why)?

Excited to show off my AM Radio Simulator that I built in #unity

I am planning on turning this into some sort of #horror concept. All the tuning is simulated.

Finally adding in the keyframes thanks to @nightblind.bsky.social!

This is a WIP for my next piece of #vgm concept music. Where do you think it's set?

I am pretty happy with how this has turned out :3

Another concept piece for a future game...

I decided to highlight some #gamedev progress with a silly little video. Let me know what you think :)

This is engine progress on the "Postman Lives" phase of work, so it's almost done (just need to add/finish the temp animations). Then it's onto the tech roadmap oh boy!

One of my favourite things about Printersim is that you can perform several occult rituals - which isn't actually too different from trying to use a printer.

You can read more on its about page: www.thispolo.co.uk#/games/Print...

Okay so, growing up a massive inspiration for me was #Zelda Majora's Mask. I still remember being a 7 year old and feeling a strong moral obligation to save the people in Termina.

As homage to MM (literally art), I recreated the Next Day card in Printersim! B]

Fellow #gamedev, trying something different. I think wearing your inspirations on your sleeve is a good thing. We "stand on the shoulders of giants" even in art.

Quote repost this with #inspirationsunday with a video/image showing how they found their way into your game.

In Printersim, you can become friends with the shop clerk by giving him your stuff. He just *loves* you, look at how *happy* he is... just don't give him lamps.

Printersim is a game where you can admire your prized possessions (and perform several occult rituals)!

Ignore that last part.

Now with walk cycle (and alien). Let me know what you think the alien landscape is meant to be because I have no idea.

Still workin' on this music video

Working on a new conceptual track for Simverse - let me know what you think!

I feel like this has potential, so I will turn it into something real :D Quick sketches like this tend to sound awkward at first before they become something better.

Now with animation! Will need to add detail of course, but I'm happy with the direction. Let me know what you think!

#printersim is a game where you print your life away. Literally.

It's perfect for those who have started office life and absolutely hate- I mean, *love* Printers :)
