Hi! I don't think I've ever introduced myself like this anywhere but, as I feel so comfortable here with you, I'm going to do it!

I'm Miriam, artist and gamedev at islaOliva Games.

Join me and I'll tell you a bit more about how I went from being a visual artist to developing games below.

I have a problem: I love every demo I see 😅

#SteamNextFest demo that I see here, demo that I save.

Let's see if I have time and can play a little this week. So far, I've played REANIMAL. It's been cool.

I fell in love at 36 and told him "we should make a game together to see if we can make it in the long run" (cause if you survive #gamedev you can survive almost anything). One year later our first baby ROTATO is born. Wishlist on Steam! link below #indiedev

Isometric pixelart illustration for Minecraft, while I was working at Mojang. This is meant to show off the world and it's thrills. It lives in the how-to-play section in-game

Believe old game devs when we tell you: burnout is real, it's painful. Be honest with yourself, take the breaks when you need them.
I've been burnt out for so long, I only just realized how long. I went from crunch at Iridium into crunch at Giant Squid with no break. About 3 years. It was too long.

Roland Emmerich's Stargate (1994): Ra's Pyramid/Palace ship, concept by production designer Holger Gross, art by concept designer Oliver Scholl

The painting depicts the colossal pyramid mothership of the film's villain, the alien Goa'uld Ra, landed on the desert dunes of the planet Abydos.
The setting sun bathes the scene in a warm, alien glow, emphasizing the immense scale and mysterious power of the vessel.

Sigourney Weaver says she had a meeting with Disney about reprising her role as Ripley.

“[‘Alien’ producer] Walter Hill is a very good friend of mine and he wrote 50 pages of where Ripley would be now and they are quite extraordinary”

Me impresionó escuchar que “Don’t Be A Fool” se compuso en solo 3 meses. La canción es super potente, me parece increíble que fuese tan poco tiempo.

La escucho al menos una vez por semana y sigue emocionándome [esto lo puede verificar @vicenjaro.bsky.social 😅]

Videoclip de La canción "Don´t be a fool" de American Arcadia. Una orquesta y su cantante en un escenario en un hotel con estética de los años 70s.
