Age verification? I had to refill pencils in the Argos catalogue stores for people to write catalogue numbers down
Age verification? I used to rewind cassette tapes with a pencil.

I feel like I've been working on the very first room of my game for ages and that progress is really slow, but it's mostly because I've been implementing everything here, from lighting to inventory gui.
Somehow still not sick of seeing the first room, so that's something.

The sheer number of people I see online in the physical game media debates who are 100% sure ALL game discs on current consoles are just licence keys to download the entire game from the internet, it drives me insane!!

Someone on here today told me they don't share their artwork online because they combine AI with their own art and don't want AI stealing his work.

After what I thought was an atrocious episode of Starfleet Academy that felt like I was watching a different show, comes episode 4 and it's bloody good, isn't it! If I get the bluray of this in the future, I'll just skip the 3rd episode entirely, all good. Hope there's no more skips though.

The promo images for the next episode of Starfleet Academy looks grounded and serious so I might enjoy this one a lot more than the last episode that was far too silly for my tastes. Yes, I do not like the SNW musical episode either for the same reasons!

In my last game, you could right click to have the character look at things and comment on them. It was never required to complete the game but you'd miss a lot of gags. And I saw some people on YouTube playing the game and despite being informed you can, they never once looked at anything.. 😭

Using 3D renders means having close up screens with minimal effort (says the guy who took hours to put this together). Does this look like fun to play?

I love how the TMNT background doesn't use that many colours yet is really striking and easy on the eyes, saved the image for future reference on how to pull this off should I ever do another comedy game!
Hey #portfolioday
I've been a professional illustrator for 25 years, and a professional game artist and animator for 16. There's nothing I can't do in high-res 2D and pixelart. Hire me!
