- This is definitely... a game. I have a Rocksteady flashbacks. This is might die in a year, and we ain't gonna get horizon 3, aren't we? Idk what to call this "big corp hero-based action game" fatigue, but it's definitely does not fuel inspiration.
- Here's the next big game from Guerrilla Games: Horizon Hunters Gathering. That art style isn't quite what I expected www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jubg...

- Soooo it looks like this now, whole different game lol. Still lots of stuff to do, to add, to polish for a demo. Damn has it been 8 months since that other post already? Crazy. Thoughts?
- Inspiration does not exist if you're not doing the work, motivation to do the work does not come if you don't act without motivation, you won't be able to act if your body and mental health is in the gutter.
- Perfect is the enemy of done.
- Haven't done any UI work in... 3 years? Somehow I leveled up my art skills in that time?! Idk how that worked but HEY I'm diggind it lol.
- So funny how photoshop is all about that "how to remove noise from the image" while CGI artists are all about adding that chroma noise cause it's better than luma noise and everyone goes "wow so photoreal" cause literally yo it looks good!
- Is there a way to like, make my own feeds or something where it's like "these tags / keywords with over X amount of likes / replies over past 10 hours"?
- There's just some certain skill of restraint involved to make games like PEAK that are just "This", and not "this and this and this and this" which is what highguard is. A mush of ideas. Sometimes it works, and it's so frustrating when it doesn't, and first instinct is to shove more.
- Have you heard the phrase, "less is more"? Well Highguard devs haven't.
- For the future me: Make garbage, make shit. Make it ugly. Make it unavoidable. Make it embarrassing. Make the worst version. I'm allowed to make things without intending to keep them, to waste the output, and to never polish it for release.
- HAND PAINTED SPARKS, I repeat, HAND PAINTED SPARKS AND is it like hand painted motion blur / hand painted temporal aliasing??? HOW/ WHY DOES THIs LOOK SO GOOD AAA Every frame a painting type shit damn super impressed!!!
- Finally watched Predator Badlands, THST WAS SO GOOD 10/10 NO NOTES. Badass beginning to the end. Loved the characters, their story was so well written, pacing was good, it was long enough, and was just well made from script to VFX. I'm now an Ellie Fanning fanboy.
- Damn this is gorgeous ♥
- ❄️⛸️❄️It was amazing to show the first peek of the game to people at @mivsmagfest.bsky.social ❄️⛸️❄️
- This is genuinely so cool. NASA will send your name on a SD card around the moon! Such a little thing but genuinely makes me happy :) www3.nasa.gov/send-your-na...
- OH BOY the second episode did not just... who decides to use placeholder stock music for a premium tv show??? I honestly never had such a whiplash from a tv episode before. Literally temp stock music in most of second episode scenes. And the dialogue... pacing. "I saw you with that whale!" 🤣
- Oh wait Highguard supposed to launch in 10 days? WHAT?! I thought this was like 2 years away, not this year?! Damn the silence is deafening!
- Star Trek Academy... is fine. I didn't hate the first episode. Not as much as I was lead to believe by the sneak peaks (SNL level bad). Production quality is actually good, they put a lot of effort into sets, I just don't like the young cast much, but overall? 5-6/10? It's not amazing so yeah.
