I am a hobby dev with a passion for making games!!!! https://heiden.itch.io/ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

I've been looking into trying to make 3D animations in unity using blender models I've made. Does anyone have any great beginner friendly tutorials about 3D character animation workflow im unity? For context I'd be interested in making low poly 3D models. Any popular plugins?

General gamedev update: I want to challenge myself to feel more comfortable using 3D tools! I've been working on this kindergarten game thing and I'm quickly finding the limits of the 2.D system I've currently got set up. I decided it's time to stop avoiding Blender so much. 😆

Related to last post but I've also made other FE mugs, a Cormag x Artur as well as an Alear family one. :) I started laughing so hard in the studio when I was working on the Cormag x Artur one. I was so embarrassed 😳 (the people at the studio are very normal I do not fit in ahahaha)

Looking to play psone/ps2 era jRPGs I might have missed out on. What's YOUR favorite obscure jrpg that I might not have played? :) What do you like about it?

Remember, you can lock onto your opponents by pressing the R1 button. Try locking onto this post now. Ok. Well done. That's all I can teach you. I hear there are other posters that can teach you more advanced techniques out there, but you'll have to find them yourself. Good luck!

I don't go here (LiS) but this article speaks a lot to the attitudes I see from fans these days. "The devs did so-and-so dirty, they didn't get their happily ever after/redemption arc/love story/etc". Sometimes the point is not everything is wrapped up in a neat little bow!!

Text reads, "Characters don’t deserve anything, and I don’t think fans do either. The goal of a story cannot simply be to satiate the hunger of fanatics or to smooth out the ripples of a world. Even the most indulgent self-insert fan fiction arguably operates on higher goals than this; the writer crafts the silly tale in order to address something in their soul. You don’t write to fix a story; it ideally addresses something inside us. You don’t write because fictional characters need it. You write because you need it. You do it because there’s something in you that needs to be said."Text reads, "When I see marketing about Reunion talk about giving characters what they deserve and being for fans by fans, I cannot help but brace for something terrible. Even if, as the game’s Xbox Wire post states, “their reunion could be no quick fix,” I cannot help focus on that final word: fix.We must fix this. We must fix our stories. We must save our characters. We must please our fans. We must protect our bottom line. We must take it all back. We must smooth all friction."

A fresh one from me! I wrote about fandom, what characters "deserve," lesbians and our desire to Return To The Past. What does it mean to wind back the clock and why does that seem to be *the* thing many folks want from art now? aftermath.site/life-is-stra...

You've seen "Holy shit! Two cakes!" so now take this energy with you into the new year and be whatever you wanna do #art

A pencil sketch of a simple, cat-like character pointing at a simple, hat-wearing, hyena-like character (representing the artist), who is holding a cake. The pointing character is saying, "That's not the cake I like. Why don't you make a GOOD cake like the popular one I like?"The character holding cake, who represents the artist, responds by saying, "Why don't you shut the hell up and get away from my goddamn cake"

2025 recap!!!! :D :D This was one hell of a year LMAO (and I shall not get Into It but just know it was a LOT. ) I feel like often we find ourselves stuck in a pattern and then *BAM* everything explodes and we have to find new systems to do things.

*be on YouTube and have a vid recommended to me about an obscure Dreamcast game* *Oh cool. Let me learn about this! * * First five minutes: this game was made by an all woman dev team so that means it sucks! Because all games made by women are just shovelware.* *Clicks the back button.*

Thinking about Jane's The Vegetarian today and how if you have been placed as an Atlas in a social structure, you asking for one minor change can have reverberating destructive effects further up the structure.

Just realized that I'm probably going to be at least a middle schooler proficiency in Japanese before I finish a farm sim ahahaha
