Highlights from today 👀

He's so fucking happy I can't handle it

Guess who is really good at getting a bath with other dogs around? George.

Saw some discourse around Xenoblade Chronicles: X and remembered that you don't even get access to your mech until ~60hrs into the game. I sprinted through the game to reach that point, because Xenogears.

I wish to make such a bold decision someday (especially considering the marketing material).

Friends and allies, I hope you'll join us at 18:00 CEST (UTC +2) tomorrow on international trans day of visibility for a showcase of games by trans developers and a fundraiser to keep our community servers going. I'm volunteering as host. It'll be fun, and you can make some lives a little brighter.

Okay, I might've bit off more than I can chew with Delita; my hand is now cramped.

Also shout out to those FF:T proportions.

Lots of loooong straight-ish lines on Ryu. Tricky to make them clean, don't look too closely 🌝

Ryu from Breath of Fire 4, finished/full color

Ryu from Breath of Fire 4, hatched shading

Ryu from Breath of Fire 4, hatched + full color

Today's sick-on-the-couch project! This one was fun. Even played around with hatching to try something new. Not a fan of the hatched + color combo because my hatching is not great!

Woof, that's a bummer. I think mine is just anytime you die in that activity because there's no way to close the failure pop-up on console

PoE2 still soft-locking upon failing a Trial of Sekhemas run on PS5 is pretty wild. I'm really surprised that it hasn't been fixed in the last few weeks.

I've got zero shame around tracing reference images. I just want to get used to using my hands to draw again. I need to relearn LINES. I've never done digital color work.

Happy new year! Procreate is so fucking cool. Playing around doing color work for the first time, and more importantly: just doing art for fun

Important tip: try to leave your year-end expenses until AFTER your manager has likely done your year-end review.

Oh oh, could I be added?!

Bird account has officially been deactivated. Let's see how complete removal of that shit impacts my mental.

Whatcha thiiiinkin about

Something-something confusing player-facing feedback based on inconsistent use of materials for clear player affordances

None of the windows are open though, the entrance might be on the roof.

FWIW I've never actually seen a horizontal only mat, but I feel it in my soul

@ozone.birb.house could I please get a game dev label?
