Daaamn the first Tomb Raider is just as good as I remembered from having it on the Saturn when it was new, and being able to play it on a physical cartridge on a plane is aces

Never noticed before but imagine if Fade to Black had similarly good mechanics? Now THAT would have been a Flashback sequel

RIP Drew Struzan. His posters are a huge part of my childhood. Iconic images and what a range! From Black Sabbath to the Muppets. I really recommend the Art of Drew Struzan book. The anecdotes about the creation of each poster are fascinating.

Was a joint where hitting it with a hammer did nothing but a small spray and 10 seconds it was free. Spent more time cleaning the oil off then taking it apart. Truly real engineering going on here today.

Well lads always pays to have a can of the good stuff for simple tasks like taking apart a cast iron frame that ceased up. Is there nothing a can of W40 can’t do

My portfolio day post has art from a game that no longer exists as they pulled it from the internet a couple months ago but it’s the last thing I worked on and I’m proud of my efforts. You show what you have done that repents you at your best so always show that off no matter how old.

Post your old work, keep posting it at every opportunity, share what you’re proud of and brings you joy. Don’t wait for a day that’s every 3 months. Your art is on a portfolio for a reason so never ever just focus on what’s new. Heck have I shown any new work in 6 months? Fuck no I’m tired.

#PortfolioDay is TOMORROW Tuesday, October 14th, it’s a wired day everyone acts like it’s a holiday when it’s just a day. Take part if you like or don’t it’s up to you, don’t hold your self back cos “got nothing new” that’s a unhealthy way to view your work post what your proud of.

Every production is different and its own issues so who can truly say but taking files raw like that dan lead to wild speculation and seems easy to do any game and come to the wrong idea without seeing it in a dev build to know the true ins and outs.

Always the question if it was made to be broken down but in the process someone exported the mesh incorrectly and ended up so far down the road it is what it is. Worked on plenty games where months later you find issues like that that was missed in pressure to get things done above doing it right.
