Check out my new article where I reflect on starting my career as a tech artist, async leadership, and why we should strive to make ourselves obsolete! I also crudely compare async leadership to writing code for GPUs. www.linkedin.com/pulse/art-ma... #techart #gamedev #leadership

The Art of Making Yourself Obsolete

Starting out in game dev, we joked that the ultimate goal of a tech artist was to make yourself obsolete. That meant having all the pipelines automated, processes documented, and tools so advanced and...

Started working on my next #gamedev tutorial! I am still a Tech Artist at heart so instead of just recording it, I've spent an inordinate amountwriting a tool to so that I have a datadriven way to iterate 😅. In the end, I'll have the whole tutorial in a a JSON file #indiegamedev #javascript

After 4 tries, I finallyI managed to publish my first piece of content on Fab 😀 I learned a lot, so hopefully this is the first step towards releasing even more things on there! You can check it out here: www.fab.com/listings/0dc... #unrealEngine #gamedev #indiegamedev

Second attempt at uploading my simple appartment furtniture pack to Fab. The problem was missing collision on a few of the items :p Updated the lighting a little bit, its much warmer now, giving off a more cozy feel. Lets see if it gets approved :D #unrealengine #gamedev #indiegamedev

I have a new found respect for people who publish content on marketplaces. I was going to "quickly clean up" meshes from an old game idea and make available on fab. Its been 2 weeks and I'm still cleaning up 😅 Submitted the first version, waiting for approval #indiegamedev #gamedev #unrealEngine

I´m soft-launching my #gamedev coaching services! To start with I´m offering a 1-1 session helping people getting the most out of my #UnrealEngine youtube videos Super excited to see where this goes 😅 learn.gisli.games

What are people using as Photoshop alternatives these days? I need to create some simple images and export them out in linear color space Is gimp still used? Could I do this is Blender? #gamedev #indiegamedev

I just figured out that I can do AB testing on #Youtube thumbnails. I'm going to be low-key upset if the one with my face does worse. The video is called "How to make UI in Unreal Engine 5 - Learn the basics" Which one you like better?

My latest #UnrealEngine tutorial is out! This time I walk through how to set up a simple UI in unreal engine and make it interact with the world. #gamedev #indiegamedev #tutorial youtu.be/9-8xVUJ0rPQ

Messing around making videos with code. Its still rough but I'm happy with the progress 😅 Here I want to show people who are new to #gamedev how to create a framework for their game in #UnrealEngine My goal is to learn how to show complex things quickly and then later dive deep with explinations

I'm learning how explain #gamedev concepts in more accessable ways. Both for my #YouTube tutorials and for my day-to-day job The best thing about the animation is that its all made in code, so I can refactor until perfect 🤓 Can you guess the game (WIP)😅 #IndieGameDev

I just posted an article walking through why it sometimes feels like finding the fun in game development is all about luck and not a skill just like any other #gamedev www.gisli.games/blog/is-finding-the-fun-just-about-luck

Do you relate to these points? Do you wonder why so many game developers work and work but never manage to finish a game? I've seen many talented people stuck in an endless loop of prototypes and tests😢 Here are some useful insights! #gamedev #indiegamedev www.gisli.games/coaching/wan...
