Gonna start organizing these videos under #Nestavire
Figured I should make a thread of all my Nestavire videos, even if they're all from the old Unity build.

Sorry to say I've been basically bedridden since Friday. Experiencing vomiting, extreme exhaustion ect. and trying to push through on Saturday only made it worse.

Have to fundraise for rent but can't stream in this state so any help would be appreciated.

Finally a proper sequel to Transformers Devastation.
I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!

We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

They're calling her the most hired artist of 2025
Super happy to announce I’ve just commissioned some more artwork from @androidpeach.bsky.social!! Her work on Dragon Reactor is so intense and incredible that I couldn’t imagine a better artist for my current project. What project is that, you ask? Watch this space - and hers, too!

There's no such thing as a person who can't draw, there are only people who don't draw
"but what if they can't draw" here's hideo kojima making level blockouts for metal gear solid 1 and 2 with LEGO

If you're reading this, Maddison Baek has a fucking sick game that is still criminally underrated despite doing everything right and being awesome as hell. Easy win for a gamer looking for a good game, and a double win for a gamer looking for an ethical one.

I haven't had a chance to talk about it on the pod yet (been a busy year) but The Knightling is super charming! Shield surfing adventure gaming to the max. Big Gamecube energy. I especially liked the designs for townsfolk that reflected jobs or status and looked more interesting than A Person.

The short film I spent a couple of months working on is now available to watch.
It is unlisted, however, as the director is still submitting it to film fests.
This is the first big storyboard I've done and first time I'm doing choreo for a few scenes and stunt coordination.

Don't.

Perfect screenshot. Worf as a focal point is already killer, then your eyes travel to Data in the friar haircut and you think "this can't possibly get any better," and then there's the finishing blow of Geordi in his space visor plucking a lute

I am here to remind you this is the best thing I have ever made.
Another idea for team attacks in #Nestavire was a custom environment node that summons enemies to take position within specific cover/vantage points.

It then executes a custom scripted sequence where each enemy pops out and attacks in order.

In other words, I recreated Time Crisis.

Also got the melee tutorial set up for #Nestavire

The input seems to be the biggest hurdle of this control scheme whenever I got others to try the prototype, so I'm hoping I've managed to correct that.

One of the many dangerous denizens of #Nestavire are the Shriek BaAAAa- seeds. Shriek Seeds.

Once you've caught their attention, they'll try to swarm you in groups or ambush you from unexpected locations.

Yeah that new Warframe update needs a few more hotfixes.

I have not been able to play a single session of the new rebellion mode.

My stance remains that the Prime games are all pretty close in quality even if there is a gradual shift in priorities throughout them.

This is the most linear of the franchise even when it suggests it might have a structure closer to Prime 2.
76. Metroid Prime 4 Beyond

This is definitely a sequel to Prime 3 (Derogatory), but also, it's a sequel to Prime 3 (Complimentary).

The outstanding visuals, music and bosses do a lot to offset it's more controversial elements.
