Hi folks. My personal statement about our team and Eyes of Hellfire cancellation (alt text included). And Blumhouse's statement: store.steampowered.com/news/app/172...
Here's the April update to the technique. The main new addition is the use of a procedural flow map to inform brush stroke length and direction.
Here's a work in progress video of the technique in action. vimeo.com/1175098049
I'm clearly dedicated to avoiding eye contact. Can't even look at the camera!
Eyes of Hellfire from @gambrinous.com also sweeped the awards, winning Best Art Direction and Best Game Audio. Congratulations to the Gambrinous team, who with their third game continue their tradition of designing digital games based on the core tenants of tabletop games.
Some day I'll walk away from an event not feeling shit for just standing around mutely not connecting with people. Some day.
Great year at the Immies this year for Eyes of Hellfire, including this beauty! Thanks @imirt.bsky.social #irishgameawards #gamedev #FísGamesSummit
