Concept art sheet for the remastered Cave Dweller Add-On, showcasing four conceptual variations in the top row and five in the bottom row.
Top row:
1. A creature close to the original design with slight variations in color and face/teeth. Annotation: “1. On model design. Slight variation to color and face/teeth.”
2. A hunched, beast-like version with a different body structure. Annotation: “2. Wildly different but still ‘cave dweller.’”
3. A version with thinner limbs and a silhouette-focused design. Annotation: “3. 2’s limbs with 1’s silhouette.”
4. A tall, furry-bodied creature with its face obscured by darkness for a menacing effect. Annotation: “2’s furry body, 1’s more classic look, no bending limbs, face obscured by darkness because tall (and it’s intimidating).”
Bottom row:
1. The original concept design, close to the top row’s #1, with slight variations in color and face/teeth.
2. A version with higher-set eyes, longer teeth, and longer claws on hands and feet. Annotations: “Eyes moved up for a droopy, saggy face,” “longer teeth and more mismanaged teeth growths and odd angles,” and “longer claws + foot claws (overall it looks more mole-like?).”
3. A more decayed and weathered-looking design. Annotations: “Hole eyes,” “ruined chest, looks like it’s caving in, and tugging at the skin as well,” and “single large claw [talon] on both hands.”
4. The design features blackened textures and fiery accents, giving the creature a smoldering, burned appearance, with orange, dripping eyes. Annotations: “Long,” “bigger arms [drawn arrow pointing at arms],” “more spread out claws?” and “creature of the night.”
5. A green, stretched-out version with stressed veins, closer to the original coloring and design but without claws. Annotations: “‘I stayed up too long’ sorta look, insane ‘eye bags,’” and “no claws, bare club-like limbs, beats player to death with blunt force trauma.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mpzyshfpirx5ujbb4eaid3px/bafkreifnt62orf66oor5oobue5l54vqkgh7dylkyfnafczy27mgf6lo64a@jpeg)

Concept art sheet for the Cave Dweller remaster, highlighting the final design.
Top row:
1. The rough-final design concept, with detailed textures and proportions. Annotation #1: “ ‘my final design’ for the dweller concept.”
2. Variation A, a version with transparent skin. Annotation #1: “ ‘translucent look’ (possibly looks like this when in too much natural light [referring to variation B with an arrow pointing to it], like near a lot of lava, or near surface caves with more light shining in from the surface above. Will possibly avoid said surface light.)”
3. Variation B, of the transparent skin further emphasizes internal details.
4. The Cave Dweller being burnt up. Annotation #1: “ ‘burning away’ (burnt look for when the dweller enters sunlight with no cover. It begins to burn away.)”
5. A scene illustrating the reaction to sunlight Annotation #1: “Burst into flames limb by limb when coming into contact with sunlight (always dramatically start with top of head or corner of head bursting with practical fire.)”
Bottom row:
1. A design emphasizing hook-like toe claws. Annotation #1: “toe’d claws [arrow pointing at foot details].”
2. A similar version to #1, but with more intricate hand details, deeper texture changes, and longer, straight toe claws. Annotation #1: “HANDS (dirty, damaged claws and hands).” Annotation #2: “(clean, good condition hands) [showcasing hand variations].” Annotation #3: “CLAW SPREAD [double-sided arrow pointing to toe claw variations (splayed and together) and dweller feet design].” Annotation #4: “MOLE LIKE FEET.”
3. A design similar to #1 and #2, but featuring smaller eyes and bulkier toe claws..
4. Five face variations with annotations (A–E):
A: "Restless" – [An intense and alert expression.]
B: "Tired" – [A more subdued and weary look.]
C: "Dread" – [A deeply fearful or horrified expression.]
D: "Caution" – [A wary, observant face.]
E: "Lights Out" – [A blank, lifeless appearance, suggesting the creature is incapacitated.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mpzyshfpirx5ujbb4eaid3px/bafkreifssqzdjhnlohznme2pij72ladgzw6fdczkwhslun42joxygbvrji@jpeg)

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

A lot of the game dev Starter Packs are *very* light on Black game developers. I know we're only ~5% of the industry, but STILL! 🤭
👀 Peep this Starter Pack to help fix that. We'll be adding more devs as they join Bluesky.

I'm not for making a big statement because there's no point arguing with these people but if twitter is just going to be all conspiracy racist misogynist dog whistles all the way down, staying there for promo and reach doesn't even make sense - the people who remain won't want my games anyway.

We design processes and structures involved in making decisions that apply to members of our community. We need to be methodic, empathetic, and intentional with the interaction we design.

I wish to speak and consult on more game tutorials; there are so many minor adjustments folks can make to turn it from night to day.
Most don't flesh out their learning loops!
Nailing down the loop of 'learning, application, feedback, and reflection' can be monumental!
