I was so excited to see the icons being used for the achievements!! Glad they helped make that process easier for you as well
Hahaha I feel like I had a little too much fun with the consumables but theming them to the elements Jemma had already made was just a wonderful time
Icons illustrating twelve of the abilities in Beast Breaker. Bell Ringer: A silver bell-shaped hammer head. Bursters: Firework-like exploding arrows. Spot Flaw: Silver sword blade. Windblast: Gold arrow with spiral filigree head. Swiftdarts: Bow grip with purple crystals. Diverting Stings: Bow grip with leafy green shapes. Priming Bolts: Arrows crackling with red energy. Surging Salvo: Wrap around hammer grip with an articulated lever sticking off it. Perforators: Sleek silver three-pronged throwing knife. Skewering Sai: Red-gold thin blade with forking hilt. Ricochete: Silver machete with spinning spiky wheels near the tip. Slash Storm: Dark metal curved and barbed sword blade
After we designed 175 unique abilities for Beast Breaker, someone had to create 175 ICONS!
@stopboorider.bsky.social not only made them look awesome, he designed a whole visual vocabulary: Framing & directionality communicates component slot. Background colors/patterns = gameplay properties.

Tonight we had a lovely little stream from @thormungandr.com. Skipper getting a little Front Page feature was wonderful! What blessings to have some of the Vodeo Games crew swing by- @ashervo.bsky.social, @mllepilgrim.bsky.social, @misterfoldy.bsky.social, @stopboorider.bsky.social! ๐ Thank you! โจ

the "Complicated mental gymnastics" meme but it's Skipper Beast Breaker comparing the hammer and the bow.
I dunno, I'm playing more offline and it really feels like this.
A quote by Rick Owens. It reads: "Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead."
The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas โ such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body โ but they don't really understand Owens's work.
Let's talk about it. ๐งต
Go to figure drawing it's fun. Also one of the models wore cat ears and a tail and that made my entire night
The problem solving of trying to get it down as quick as possible and trying to translate this body I see in front of me into drawing is just very thrilling, especially in a room full of other people trying to do the same. AND I love wandering around and comparing everyone's different perspectives
Also like, the perspective is more fish eyed than I thought my visual perspective would be?? Tilting my head can change how the model looks?? And the free to attend places I've been going do not have the most helpful lighting for figure drawing lmao. But I love it so much actually.
At first I was struggling a lot BC well. Translating 3d to 2d is not a step you gotta do so much when it's already on a 2d screen. I'm still struggling with figuring out how to make sure I am sizing down enough to fit entire pose on the page. My vision doesn't export into a rectangle!
For the past six months I've been, for the first time in my entire life, going to live figure drawing sessions. Holy heckie this is so fun???? Much more fun than quick drawing poses of people on computer screen.
Genuinely one of my favourite comics of all time. I'm so excited to get the giant volumes of all of season two also currently losing my mind about the last published page aaaaAAAA it's so good

Good morning!! Despite getting to bed very late last night, we are somehow awake now, and probably going to just... sleepily prod some honses. that's my best guess, anyways

Suddenly wondering if you've ever read/watched Toradora?? I feel like perhaps it'd be one you'd like
Genuinely I think this was one of the weapons I did the most research on because I needed to do something phenomenal for a name like that
Genuinely I was inspired to the moon the moment I read "Ricochete" and if I was going to fight for any nonsense in particular to make it into the game it was going to be this. I'm delighted that everyone agreed about how important it was tho, no fighting needed.
OKAY HERE WE GO NOW!! MINECRAFT TIME!!! MIZUNO WORLD!! i hardly slept last night so that's all the advertising you get we're good at streaming i promis

This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

GOODMORNING!! TIME FOR MORE MINECRAFTIES... I don't remember at all what we were doing last time, so you don't get predictions either.

I loved working on this game, and the people at Video will always have a special place in my heart.
The game is also an excellent metaphor for having hope in difficult times and that seems as relevant as ever these days.
As always please wishlist the game and spread the word!
