Max!@littlepolygon.bsky.social · 3w agoOk, after about a dozen revisions I think I have enough of a rough-draft design to start modelling in Blender and refining. Took me a while to give up on the idea that it's got a big spider-like abdomen, so that the "from the rear" view that you mostly see in-game has a more interesting silhouette.

makkon's textures have been a cornerstone of the quake community for as long as I can remember. they're absolutely gorgeous, thoughtfully designed, and thoroughly field-tested.
Makkon@makkon.bsky.social · 2w agoI'm immensely proud to announce that my texture library that's been in the making for nearly a decade is now available on my itchio store for indie devs to purchase commercial licenses. makkon.itch.io
One of my favorite and most effective design patterns is "tell the player exactly what you're gonna do to them, then do it." You can be SIGNIFICANTLY meaner to the player if you simply tell them ahead of time that that's exactly what you'll be doing, and also the suspense of the warning is a delight

Game Devs of Color is this week!!! My talk making the trailer for Skin Deep by @blendogames.bsky.social is Wednesday at 1:45p Eastern time. This one is an extremely tight 30 min which starts with me getting the job and ends with final capture (and lots of unused takes 😅)

I just wrote a paranormal story in the form of a fictional forum thread! A young woman discovers a video captured from inside a recurring dream. Read here: suricrasia.online/unfiction/sp...
Loved seeing this system take shape. It felt like one of those key advances during development that put a lid on the chaos we'd created and turned it into something you could learn the rules of.

still bonkers to me that we can just make stuff that looks identical to concept art [Indiana Jones and the Great Circle]
to the Mad Max level designer who made this giant physics dancing skeleton: wow 🙏 #archive
I enjoyed Metal Garden a lot -- really lovely level design, reminded me of Source engine + Halo and now has a dev commentary mode too! Great stuff 👍👍
