🦬 Check out the new gameplay trailer for Herdlingβ€”an alpine adventure with beastly friends. The game's looking gorgeous and touching, can't wait for the release in 2025! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfiv...

We just got a new trailer out! ✨✨✨

πŸ—»πŸ’šπŸ—»NEW GAMEPLAY TRAILER πŸ—»πŸ’šπŸ—» HERDLING is coming to Steam, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in Summer 2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfiv...

I have a random question for you all here: We're planning on painting some walls (with a professional crew) and we want to use some darker colors for some walls, but the painters told us it's a bad idea cause the darker colors get really dirty with like white fingerprints, dust prints etc.

HERDLING is an atmospheric adventure game about guiding a flock of mysterious creatures up a mountain. The game is coming to PC and Consoles in 2025 πŸ’™

FINALLY a solution for new game ideas, the largest problem that all game developers have! Everybody's out there with their jobs, their living wages and their work-life balance, with all the knowledge and money in the world staring at the wall thinking "if only I had one (1) idea for a game"

My contract runs out in a few months so starting to look for work again! I'm Rosie, have 7 years experience as an artist working with loads of studios -worked on Viewfinder, League Of Legends: Wild Rift, Epic Games, Radical Forge, Electric Saint,Twin Swans etc Lots of experience in stylized 3d art!

In case you missed it, we've been sharing more beautiful screenshots and videos of HERDLING over at the @okomotive.bsky.social account ✨ I've been tech-arting on the project for the past ~2.5 years and I reaaaally can't wait to show you more πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ Make sure to wishlist too! ✨

Waiting on some appointments at an empty apartment we'll be moving in soon, AMA

Anybody has a supernote nomad? Is it worth it in general? I always have a notepad open next to me for random notes, diagrams, lists and sketches, but the option of categorizing them, uploading them etc sounds really appealing to me

Okay, getting some DMs here too from accounts I don't know where they only say "Hey" so it's time to tap the Inigo Montoya etiquette sign:

Cosigned. Your followers are ghosts. Your big number means nothing. Any art you're posting is being fed directly to Grok. It throttles outgoing links to the point of uselessness. You mere presence empowers one of the worst men alive. Like, seriously: why are you still there? Where is the line?

Unfortunately I have been affected by the latest Unity layoff. While I didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly, I’m still incredibly grateful for nearly six years there! I’m open to new opportunities - so I'm more than happy to connect with anyone wanting to make great games!

Sometimes we find friends in unlikely places πŸ‚

A look at caring for your Calicorns in HERDLING 🩡

This. You've seen who Elon is, and his actions are speaking louder than ever. If at this point you're still using X, especially with a premium subscription, you are currently making a statement. Either that you don't care or that you're straight up on his side. It doesn't really matter which.

First time joining @halisavakis.com 's #TechnicallyAChallenge! Made this for the 'Brunch' theme πŸ₯ž

I made this stylized scene for @halisavakis.com's #TechnicallyAChallenge on the theme "Brunch" πŸ₯ #Blender #NPR #StylizedArt

I got a bit humbled by how tough it is to make good looking 3D food up-close, but here's some eggs Benedict for my #TechnicallyAChallenge submission, which had the theme of "Brunch" ✨ #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev

We're giving TikTok a try these days! Make sure to follow us over there if you want to see more πŸ₯° www.tiktok.com/@okomotive/v...

Rock gates like this one will provide guidance on your journey in HERDLING

The calicorns are longing for brighter days...

Didn't get to participate in GGJ this year (or the past several years tbh) but, given the theme was "Bubble" I thought I'd reshare my anime bubble shader I made a while back, inspired by the amazing "Bubble" anime film I said "bubble" way too much in this post, it stopped sounding like a real word

Is.. is that skeuomorphism?

A quiet moment by the campside 🌲🀍

In case anybody else was wondering: Yes, you can indeed simulate hollandaise sauce on top of eggs Benedict using JangaFX's LiquiGen I hope this helps 🍳

Another banger by Cody, this time on generative AI. Very succinct and to the point, covering most if not all the problematic aspects of AI-generated images Definitely worth a watch πŸ‘€

Also fun fact: There's a new Technically Art issue out today! ✨ There's so much cool, insightful, and juicy shader-y, tech-artsy, and VFX-y stuff in there, you definitely don't want to miss it! πŸ‘€ Check it out here: halisavakis.com/technically-... #gamedev #indiedev #vfx

And we just announced our theme for the first #TechnicallyAChallenge after a while: 🍳πŸ₯‘πŸ₯πŸ₯žπŸ₯“ πŸ₯‚ Brunch πŸ₯‚ πŸ₯“πŸ₯žπŸ₯πŸ₯‘πŸ³ Hopefully we'll see some delicious creations in the next couple of weeks ✨
