So who should create screenshots for the Hitman UI?
Character art, environment art, UI or our art director?

It ended up on my table creating images for menu's, challenges, elusive targets, intel, suits etc. All major stuff by approved by our art director of course.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Its weird thinking about where the black eyed peas started as a band and where they ended up. But this instrument remix based on Barry White's - Standing In The Shadow of Love, really rocks.

Some of my favorite stills from the MENACE cinematic trailer. Pretty much every frame is wallpaper material, tbh.

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

I rarely post early versions of games to the Game UI Database, but from the moment I saw the UI for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, I knew I had to break the rules.
I don't think I've ever seen an interface take inspiration from comic book templates before!

This is insanely bad for anyone doing game development. Who the hell knows what Gaming Copilot is doing with your screen captures, but it almost certainly isn't compliant with your NDA.
If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

A quick post to say, while I'm currently booked up, I am looking to schedule projects for the end of the year and early next year. So if you're looking for spaceships / sci-fi illustrations for a ttrpg, card game, or rule book… give me a shout.
I'm Rob, an illustrator, designer, and writer from the UK. With a background in graphic design, I now spend my time drawing spaceships, robots, and other strange stuff - either for myself or for indie games and publishers.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.

I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.

I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.

But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.
