Got this triangle pixelization rendering style cleaned up in Unreal. More to come. #techart #gamedev #ue5 #unrealengine #indiedev

A couple of hit flash tests in #UE5 Each one derives from the same set of parameterized function logic, allowing for any asset to support a range of unique data driven hit flash visuals. #UnrealEngine #realtimeVFX #gamedev #indiedev

Another art direction test for @notaponygames when we considered a minimalist co-op interior decoration game. Ultimately the art scope was unbalanced for our team, pushing us to continue prototyping additional ideas. #UE5 #UnrealEngine #Blender3d #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

This one didn't quite make it out of the conceptual phase. The pitch was a simple competitive heist game where players could quickly bounce around collecting items with their sticky exterior, attempting to escape at an opportune time. #blender #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

I wanted more unique multiplayer games to play so badly that 2 years ago I started building them with my friends @notaponygames We are going to start by sharing some prototypes developed so far. Come follow us! #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #games

Not a grade, but after having shipped two indy games without any financial success, no money in the bank, living in a foreclosed home, and moments away from giving up on game dev altogether, I got an email back for a job at Oculus, allowing me to find my true passion in tech art.
Not a bad grade per se, but I remember failing to get picked for an extra-curricular art course at middle school(!) and believing I wasn't good enough to be an artist because of that. I didn't pursue art as a career until my early 20s due to that insecurity.

The @PolyarcGames marketing team pulled together a fun Moss & Moss 2 sizzle reel. You'll hear and see some familiar faces.🐭It's been a great ride so far and we couldn't have made it this far without the support of amazing fans, friends, and industry partners along the way. TY!
