Introductions seem nice to do now that so many of us are trying to leave the ol' billionaire hellsite!

Hi, I'm Ash. I'm an Artist, Art Director & Game Dev with 10 years in the industry. I love stylized art, goopy shapes, creatures & insects. Let's be friends!

We meet again #PortfolioDay! I’m César, 3D environment artist for over a decade specializing in stylized and semi-stylized art. I’m currently on the hunt for my next adventure, so if what you see here fits your project, get in touch!

been having the music/games 'industry' parallel on the mind all the way through games week, and that always leads back to me thinking about steve albini being essentially my standard for the kind of person i want to be in a scene/community. heres a little something from a reddit ama he did ages ago
Connections don't mean shit. I've never had any connections that weren't a natural outgrowth of doing things I was doing anyway. Additionally, the people you might make connections with who work in the industry and value connections themselves, all those people are clueless assholes with no clout anyhow. You can tell because they think they can get somewhere with connections and spend their energy trying to make connections rather than being good at things, and being good at things is the only thing that earns you clout or connections.

It's a myth that you can get anywhere in music through connections. The guy on the other end of the connection has to be into what you're doing, and if you're doing it publicly and he's receptive, he probably hears about it on his own.

Don't worry about anything but making music you like. Everything else is bullshit.

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.
JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

Sometimes in life, when we reach what we think is our final destination, we realize that's it's actually the beginning of a much stranger journey. 💜

One of my personal hobbies is leathercraft, and to my surprise, this coiled snake purse I made was chosen for a gallery show! I’m excited about it. Little snek will be on display for Phoenix Fashion Week.

The Steam reviews for the EARTH MUST DIE Demo have certainly taken an unusual turn. We get an altogether better class of reviews here at Size Five Games

store.steampowered.com/app/4057540/...
Steam review: This game doesn’t merely ooze with charm — it secretes it, thick and slow, from pores that shouldn’t exist. Each surface trembles as if beneath it, something vast and unseen squirms and breathes. The charm is alive here, a sentient fluid that remembers older, wetter worlds. It seeps between pixels, whispering through the code in languages not meant for lungs.

It pulses beneath the menus like veins beneath translucent flesh, its rhythm too steady to be human. Sometimes the charm glistens with a light that isn’t reflection, a phosphorescent shimmer like the soft wink of something watching from the dark. When you play, it reaches back — not maliciously, but hungrily — tasting you through the buttons and wires.

And when you close it, you’ll feel it still. In your fingertips. In your teeth. In the soft, wet corners of your dreams.
