Doing character art and animation is probably the most fun you can have in a game jam.

There's a number of game prototypes I've developed that no one has ever really seen before. Inspired loosely by Triple Triad (FF8) and Chess, I envisioned this collectible card game as a mini-game in a bigger RPG. Uses placeholder AI art. #gamedev #indiedev

Made some silly characters for #LDJam58. Was a lot of fun.

I sometimes get these tiny ideas for making nice little tools that help me do some #gamedev related task. And then it's like "Oh, all I need to do is just write a PBR renderer and a game engine before I can create the tool. Sounds simple enough." 💀
Anyway, here's a clip from my OpenGL renderer. 🙂

Doing some "retro-feel" experiments in Unreal. It's interesting that even if you make things look objectively worse, just getting away from the "default engine look" makes it seem like a lot more effort has been put into it. #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine

I don't know if it's just pure stubbornness on my part, but I can't just copy paste an eye material from Epic for my projects, I have to make my own from scratch. Left is mine, right is Epic's. #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

Going for realistic hard surface models is a little out of my comfort zone, but I think I did okay. #gamedev #3dmodelling

This is one of my projects I really wish I fully had the time and resources to work on and turn into a proper game. The idea was to have a low-stress Overcooked combined with those pizza making mini-games from Pizza Tycoon. www.artstation.com/artwork/XJ88Rn

It looks cool, but hidden under the surface is something truly horrific... the shader complexity viewmode 🫠 #gamedev #unrealengine

A single mesh with some UV and material sorcery lets me individually time the order of appearance for the coins. #UE5 #gamedev

Getting this simulated ship's wake to work over an infinitely large ocean is one of the more annoying things I've done for this little arcadey nautical game. #gamedev #unrealengine

I couldn't find a solution for monocular facial mocap that I liked, so I wrote my own. Still a little rough, but I'm already excited about it. #UE5 #gamedev

Made a little blueprint actor that tiles the meshes, captures the scene colour/normal/roughness/metallic and exports the textures. Slight height offset for tiling to prevent intersecting near the edges. (Doesn't matter with orthographic projection.)

Need a texture of a bunch of stuff in a big pile? You can use UE5 to physics simulate them and then use the buffer visualization modes to get PBR texture maps out of it.
