I may or may not have worked on this. Don't remember, got flashed by a neuralyzer.
Agent I, did you just neuralyze yourself? We don't have time to waste. Grab your gear, we have our next target.

Not the prettiest thing for #screenshotsaturday but been knee deep in profiling + optimisation in Unreal to get a min of 60fps with 50 active enemies. At ~45fps so while there's still a bit to go, it's been surprisingly fun.
This is in engine too so in a build it'll definitely be higher 🤞

Aspect of Creation, Izaniel
Finally finished this one! Once again went crazy on the colors! Trying to do more high chroma pieces that arent too dark but still feel like dark fantasy.
Let me know what you think!

Pitching your game to print media? Here’s a thread full of tips!
Always send screenshots in PNG format. JPEG compression blurs sharp edges and creates ugly artefacts that look even worse once printed at 300 DPI.
Where possible, submit your screenshots at 4K resolution. Or native res for pixel art.

Slice & Dice is my new mobile game obsession, and now completed me first run 😌
Has just the right amount of RNG and RNG mitigation, and lots of great synergies between abilities and items.

Only got a sniff of Tactical Breach Wizards this eve and late to the party, but can already tell I'm gonna love it.
Really enjoying tactics games atm and engaging in combat as a puzzle to solve, rather than primarily a motor skill challenge (which I still love!).
