Now that the Great Exodus is happening...

Hi! I'm Xavier. I'm a 3D character/technical artist who's been in games for over a decade. I've worked on some stuff you've probably heard of and a lot you haven't.

And yes, I am the guy personally responsible for making Rivet jacked.

Sad news everyone, I’m officially pulling the plug on Brightsiders, my super fan podcast for the 2017 movie Bright. I still feel like there were many interesting topics left to discuss but after 7 years of weekly episodes I’ve learned that no one has ever listened to the show.

collage of several illustrated ttrpg characters. Left to right: An adventurer half orc lady with a huge Warhammer across her shoulders, on which are perched two round robins; a monk turned swashbuckler half elf in a peach tunic holding a mysterious crystal pendant that glows green like a tropical sea; a mountain elf ranger walking on a stony path, holding her thick wool cape up to let a group of elephant shrews pass by. painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Book cover representing the two main characters of the book framed by a full page of ornaments. Teriana on the right, a young woman with a deep dark skin and large blue eyes, wearing ornate waist long braids, a large white linen pirate shirt and a collection of gold bangles. Marcus on the left, a fierce blond Roman-like commander with a large scar on his right cheek, wears a cuirrasse with a XXXVII embossed, a thick red cloak. A golden dragon ornates his leather belt. Dark Shores is written by Danielle L. Jensen. This cover is the french pocket format, published by éditions Bragelonne and painted by illustrator Lise Baron.

Painterly painting of a centaur-ibex granny climbing a cliff to harvest her hawks' eggs, by illustrator Lise Baron. On the cliff we can see the bird's nest, a domesticated squirrel picking one of its eggs. In the distance, warmly illuminated mountains and on the edge of a cliff, a little farmstead waiting for her to return. The scene is full of rocks, grass and little flowers. painted by illustrator Lise Baron

Happy Indigenous People's day, did you know that up to 5,500,000 Indigenous people were enslaved? A fact that is often erased because Indigenous erasure is ingrained in American society.

Brown.edu -- "Native American slavery "is a piece of the history of slavery that has been glossed over," Fisher said. "Between 1492 and 1880, between 2 and 5.5 million Native Americans were enslaved in the Americas in addition to
12.5 million African slaves.""

ok fellow #gamedev people: how do you find an #artist or #illustrator to make your capsule art for steam / icon for mobile? I am making a simple web version of Jelly Well and I need someone who can make an attractive icon image for the game! This would be a paid job ofc 👍

I can't imagine being a second or third party console developer right now unless it's for the Switch, and even that's a stretch.

Sunday, 10:30 am:
So far today I have had eggs and toast and sat in a cool breeze reading a comic book.

I have done nothing of value to any other human.

My tea just finished steeping.

Off to a good start.

Trying out a lil Game Boy game jam Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind fan adventure game that's got a whole glob of talent and charm behind it.

Bashir and Garak in tuxedos looking deep into each other's eyes from a bare few inches' distance. You can tell they're about to glance at each other's lips, then look away, knowing they shouldn't — yet confident it's everything they could ever want.

Cue three days of tracking down bugs across thirty different characters and one specific prop that uses a character shader because nobody told the prop artist how to do their job

Building more of the world, I'm finding the room maps give away a little too much. Trying a compass instead - it switches to a stage map on the pause screen, showing visited rooms as squares and the connections between them.
