Slime rancher is one of my all time favourite games and I LOVE doodling little Slime ideas. I coloured a bunch from my sketchbook TO FEEL SOME JOY! #SlimeRancher #SlimeRancher2 #fanconcepts #fanart #conceptart #gameart

Seeker Slime (pink slime w/ one eye)These slimes produce regular pink plorts but have the special ability to locate treasure pods. Jack Slime (look: pumpkin) “Their plorts taste like candy! Other slimes try to eat them even if they're not hungry.” Silky Slime (look: ball of sand) text: “These calming slimes have a small chance to produce silky sand when given their favourite food.” Mud Slime (looks:mudblob) These slimes stick to everything but can be unstuck with a blast of water!” Cube Slime (looks like RGB cube) text: “These slimes are experts at stacking and have even been been known to form stair-like structures.” Corny Slime (look:unicorn) “Few believe in this mythical slime, but those who do claim to have seen it when no other slimes are around. Some even say they're immune to the effects of tarr.” Oink Slime (look:pig) ”Every food is their favourite food making them a great choice for first time ranchers.” OOO-OOO Slime (look:banana-coloured monkey) text: ”These chaotic slimes produce banana-scented plorts that cause other slimes to slip and become stunned!” Hooty Slime (look: owl) text: “These nocturnal slimes produce valuable plorts, but only at night!” Hatch Slime (looks:rainbow egg) text: “When given their favourite food, these slimes hatch into a random slime type.” Shrub Slime (look:a shrub) “These slimes have a chance to produce a random fruit when they plort and often attract other fruit loving slimes.” Snime (look:snail) text: “These slow-moving slimes only come out when it rains. Other slimes become temporarily slowed when hit with thier plorts.” Celestial Slime (look:halfsun halfmoon) text: “In largo form, these slimes negate sun sensitivity in other slimes.” Newton Slime (looks upsidedown blob) text: “These slimes have an anti-gravity aura that causes other slimes and nearby items to float!” Sparky Slime (vacpack energy cyan, lightning around it) text: “Despite being dangerous, these slimes are sought after for their ability to charge power cores"

It's unity and relies a lot on the physics engine! Making it this way, things like this tend to just work and look really natural.. but you can't really change how the physic engine works works so if something is acting weird it can be really hard to fix it.

Yes! I've done a lot of vr work and that's probably why I'm so picky about how my duck moves. I want it to feel real the way in vr your brain just accepts what you're seeing. Who knows if I'll get there.. but I'm excited with how it's turning out 🥺🦆

A while back I tried hacking in a p2 just to try and it is really good. So I'd love to support local coop but nothing official yet!

Hey #screenshotsaturday check out what we've been working on lately in Scaravan 66.

Freaking scientists with freaking laser beams, dawg. Satellite stalkers. Radio-active skeletons. Deserts that clock so high on a Geiger counter that the moon looks green.

#PortfolioDay Hi!! I'm Emma Embur.✨I'm a gamedev looking for 2D/3D/Art Direction work. I have 10 years of experience creating game art from concept to implementation.

DM/reply to this post for contact info!
#gameart #gamedev

A 3D room Diorama in unity for the purposes of testing environment art style. The room has and painted textures with a ray of green light and accents of bright green and purple. A player character with a sword and backpack stands in the middle facing away. There are pipe silouettes in the foreground.

Fan art of Jinx from Arcane in my artstyle. The pose is the classic Jinx stare, head tilted down with bangs covering her face. The image is highly stylized with swirling lines radiating from jinx. The Portrait features a mix of rendering and line work as well as pops of bright saturated colour. The whites of her eyes are hot pink.

A screenshot from the VR experience The Book of Distance. The player's hand in VR is making brush strokes on a page to reveal water colour art. There is a Japanese family relaxing in a cozy warmly lit home in front of a round door that looks out on to a garden. The whole scene is lit and composed to look like a theatre set.

A 3D turnaround of a door in the style of Borderlands. There is a robot eye dangling from the peephole of the door. The door knob has been torn or shot off. There is a welcome mat where someone has painted "PIS OFF" over the word welcome in red paint.
