Wolverine's GPS Trail and Sonar UI stuff feels like accessibility features that could be super useful to disabled gamers, I wonder why they keep it on by default? Is there even the option to turn it off? Bizarre.

A little collection of dollhouses I drew recently.

The image shows a two-floor building with open walls. On the first floor there's a dining hall. There's a large table and a skeleton sitting at the table. There's a mural with a skeleton and an angel at the back and some arches with candles. On the right, there are two rooms: one is the reception with an arched window and a table behind the window, sofa in front of the window and a large human statue. A ragdoll cat is walking towards the door. Next room is a bedroom. The door to the bedroom has a lock on it. The bride is floating above the bed and a skeleton is looking at her from above the bed frame. In the center, there's a wedding ceremony hall with skeletons sitting on benches, a skeleton standing on a platform in the center reading a book and a groom waiting at the altar. There are murals on the walls with people and skeletons and a big statue of a crying angel. On the second floor, on the left side there are two rooms. At the very left side, there's a room with a broken wall. Birds are flying from an open cage, there's a shelf and some paintings on the wall. A skeleton is popping out of one of the paintings. In the next room, a skeleton is sitting on a chair and a cat is looking at it through a small secret door from the next room. There's a sculpture of an angel behind it. On the right side, there's a dressing room. The bride is sitting at the vanity table looking at her reflection but she sees herself as a skeleton. The room at the far right side extends to the roof. It has two large murals: one shows the groom and the shadow of the bride dancing and another one shows the bride holding a bird with 4 skeletons behind her. There are broken stairs leading upstairs. The wall is broken and there's a large skeleton climbing the wall. Upstairs shows the bride ringing the bells and a large skeleton behind the roof looking at her. Birds are flying in the sky and ribbons and cascading around the roofs. There's a horse on the left and a skeleton with angel wings.

The artwork shows a house in the woods. The house is placed in the center and has three floors. It’s surrounded by pines on both sides. There’s a gazebo on the left and a girl is sitting on a blanket near the gazebo offering a squirrel a fruit. There’s a passage made of stones going around the house and leading to a little lake on the right. Here is a swan and some ducks in the lake. On the right side, a girl is sitting on a blanket drawing an owl. On the first floor of the house here are three rooms: an entrance room with two dogs: Saluki and borzoi. They are laying on the floor. In the right there’s a living room connected to kitchen. A woman is sitting on a sofa holding her sleeping son. On the left side there’s a room with stairs leading upstairs. A young lady is walking up the stairs. On the second floor theres a library that extends to the third floor. The library has a mural of a woman on the wall and a ladder. Next to the library there’s a hall with a large mural of a woman with blonde hair. There’s a little nook next to the hall with sofas and a cat sitting on a sofa. Then there’s a bedroom with a bathroom. Upstairs, there’s a patio with a large crooked pine tree and a peacock sitting on a balcony boarder. Then there’s a tea room with floor pillows that leads to an art studio. A boy is playing a flute while sitting on a roof. Herons are flying left above him in the sky. The artwork is mostly neutral in color with much brown, green and beige. The house is drawn in art nouveau style with lots of swirly and floral decorations

The image shows a dollhouse artwork of a hotel. The hotel has 4 floors and is decorated in Art Deco style. The first floor has two rooms: a lobby and a tourist information room. In the lobby, a concierge is standing behind the front desk. A lady with a fancy white poodle is walking toward the elevator and a liftman is holding the doors for her. The room has some chairs, art objects and some luggage. Tourist information room has a round desk with a lady standing behind it. There is a table and two guests are sitting near the table. The room has some games and posters with various entertainment locations and events.
Second floor has three rooms: a master suite, a corridor and a smaller room. Master suite shows two rooms with an arch between them. A young man is smoking a cigar while looking away. A lady is holding a book while walking towards the door. The room has patterned walls and various furniture. A large bed is visible behind the arch. In the corridor, a hotel maid is standing next to the room housekeeping cart. On the right side there's a smaller room with yellow walls. A lady standing near the door. There's a big bed behind her with clothes scattered around the bed and the floor and a greyhound dog is stretching next to the bed.
Third floor has two rooms: a corridor and a dining room on the patio. The corridor has a sofa and elongated chairs. A man is standing next to a woman with his hand reaching towards her. A lady is sitting on a sofa. On the patio people are dining. There are three tables in the back and two tables in the front. The roofs of some buildings are visible in the background.
The top floor has one room. The room is a club with a big balcony and large windows. There's a stage in the center with a band performing. Dancers are dancing in front of the stage. Guests are watching the performance while having drinks.
The artwork is mostly dark blue, mustard color and turquoise. The artwork has a patterned frame.

There are 30 characters in the piece, 6 dogs and one cat.

SCOOP: A few weeks before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company, most of the developers at its studio were furloughed The studio says they hope to secure funds to restore their pay. Some are skeptical it'll happen I learned about this via a bitter lawsuit: www.gamefile.news/p/star-wars-...

Hey. It's my birthday today. It would be a great present if I was asked to art direct another game soon. I'm broke and desperate. My rates are standard for a senior artist, I'm fluent in all 2D art pipelines, and I ship games.

Some people believe that we are collectively suffering from an ‘eclipse hangover’ and that the overwhelming, crushing physical discomfort in your chest is actually just your skeleton trying to shift back to its natural feral shape. The only cure is Lycanthropy. Good luck, babe

This has been the most humiliating and surreal experience in 20+ years of game making. I'm desperately looking for anybody who knows anybody at Valve that can at least tell me what's going on.

The space between all things. Everything dances in #Iceland. The place where the planet smells freshly baked. If the earth doesn't knock you down with its swaying, the wind will. The only way to stay upright is through dance.

Brandon Sheffield @brandon.insertcredit.com · 10mo ago

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

So grateful for every positive review our demo has received 🌹😭 If you enjoyed playing our medical horror RPG Flesh Blossom, then please consider leaving us a Steam review ❤️ Want to see what all the hype is about?! GO PLAY FLESH BLOSSOM ON STEAM 👀 #rpg #indiegame #horrorgame #bodyhorror #indiedev

A positive Steam review reading: "I found this to be a very interesting combination of serene and disturbing. One scene will really bring you into the peaceful spring day, where the colors and art feel warm and comforting, then the subject matter really hits in a more shocking way. There is a mystery here I am invested in and look forward to see where it goes or what's behind it. Music choices were very good, also adding to the opposing scenes and themes: Operations feel like there is a ticking clock adding urgency and the peaceful atmospheres feel like a relaxing Sunday afternoon. The brief artwork of a broken mirror at the end gave me goosebumps. Can't wait to see it 'fleshed' out more!"
