Making these "Blitz mode" missions for Tankettes. The idea is to race to the finish (and fight a boss) before the time runs out but I may have added too much artillery to this map! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming #madewithunity #blender3d #b3d #3dmodeling #tanks #animation

Working on minigames for TANKETTES! I'm making a mini arcade, similar to the one in Pokémon Stadium. In this game I'm combining 2 classics: Breakout and Combat! Maybe 40 levels with different patterns and enemies. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #blender3d #b3d #3dmodeling #retrogaming

Repost an anime you think everyone should watch

Going on year 6 now. The “finish line” is in sight. Thinking about releasing in early access in summertime, if I can stay on the roll I’ve been on lately. #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Check out this new beta gameplay trailer for my #indiegame TANKETTES! I've been expanding the features and play modes! Sadly, I can't cram everything into a 59 second video! Try the demo on Steam! #indiegames #videogames #retrogaming #tank #animation #3dmodeling #blender3d #b3d #gamedev #indiedev

Been craft-making more map-scale dropships for #battletech. This is the Pound of Flesh, a Union-class “procured” from some Rasalhagues (who know what they did) by my campaign merc unit the Bad Luck Battalion. #tabletop #mechwarrior #miniatures #paintingminis #minispainting #crafting #tabletopgaming

Made this Magistracy of Canopus Union dropship from scratch for my good friend @petra425.bsky.social as a going away present. I hope it carries your troops to many victories and new adventures! #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #tabletopgaming #miniatures #minispainting #paintingminis #crafting

Highlander in Bad Luck Battalion colors stomping a filthy Rasalhague worm into the dirt where it belongs. #battletech #mechwarrior #miniatures #minispainting #paintingminis #tabletop #tabletopgaming #mecha

I made this B-17 Flying Fortress for my #indiegame, Tankettes, but I only used it for the background of an image. I'm cooking up a way to incorporate it elsewhere, too. #videogames #lowpoly #lopoly #retrogaming #indiedev #indiegamedev #animation #bomber #airplane #indiegames #gamedev #3dmodeling

One of the bosses of my #indiegame Tankettes! It's Anastasia in her Tsar Tank! I've been fascinated by this design for a long time, so I made one and put it in my game! #indiegames #videogames #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming #3dmodeling #3dmodel #blender3d #madewithunity #b3d #animation #animated

Rosa from Tankettes in her Sherman equipped with a tank flail! I added this power-up because I thought there should be more excuses to ram your opponents for damage! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #videogames #retrogaming #blender3d #b3d #3dmodeling #3dmodel #madewithunity #animation #animated

One of several tank destroyers in Tankettes! The SU-76, driven by Xiang-Xiang, a hyper-intelligent panda. While it lacks a turret, it has superior range. #indiedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #videogames #3dmodeling #3dmodel #blender3d #b3d #retrogaming #animated #animation #madewithunity

Here's Mo, the punk! She's an unlockable character in Tankettes! Her Centurion provides a greater balance of speed, armor, and range over the starting tanks. #indiedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #videogames #retrogaming #blender3d #b3d #3dmodeling #3dmodel #madewithunity #animated #animation

All for the money. A piece I made as an illustration for a rulebook I'm working on for my own Battletech and Gundam -adjacent war game with a simplified but scalable ruleset. Made this whole thing in #blender3d with no touch-ups to emulate #retro #mecha #anime style. #3dmodeling #3dmodel #b3d #scifi

Some #lore from War Grid. It is 2433 C.E. and Earth is devastated by centuries of resource war and climate disaster. Though dozens of minor nations have formed in space, only 4 brutal empires control the Earth and 70% of the Solar system's resources. #tabletop #tabletopgaming #scifi #mecha #myart

Finally ready to reveal the name of my #retro #mecha #tabletop #wargame. It's called: WAR GRID, a grid-based game of armored space combat set in the 25th century! War rages across the Solar System! The rulebook is nearly ready for testing. #3dart #3dmodeling #myart #blender3d #2dart #anime #manga

I #animated this concept art from my #WIP #mecha #tabletop game. Learned a lot about #blender3d 3.6 after being using 2.78 for the last decade. I guess I'm still behind since 4.3 is already here. I REALLY like the Eevee rendering system. #animation #3danimation #3dart #b3d #3dmodeling #robot #myart

In your face. They say in deep space, beyond the belt, there's a merc unit led by the devil himself. Concept piece for my Battletech and Gundam-adjacent #WIP #tabletop #mecha game. #scifi #robot #3dart #myart #blender3d #b3d #3dmodeling

Melee weapons and shields are going to be front and center in the #WIP #tabletop #mecha game I'm making. I still haven't quite settled on a name for this particular mech though. Probably "Rockhound" as it was originally a space-mining rig. #scifi #3dart #myart #3dmodeling #blender3d #b3d #robot

Made this last year as a concept image for the #mecha #tabletop project I'm currently working on. The mech on the left is a Mantis, and it's using a speed boost to "encourage" its rock saw to cut through the mech on the right. #WIP #scifi #art #myart #3dart #blender3d #b3d #3dmodel #robot

Battletech House Davion - 1st Kestrel Grenadiers - Hatchetman #Battletech #Miniaturepainting #Mechwarrior #Davion #Hatchetman

I feel this in my bones. I had to excommunicate myself from my family in 2020 after they blamed ME for being laid off (along with 75% of the company) when I told them the mass layoffs were a direct result of his 1st administration’s inaction to do ANYTHING about COVID. Fucking psychotic sycophants.

The desexualisation of media (everyone is beautiful, and no one is horny) combined with an increasing hysteria around the 'pointlessness' of sex scenes is a key part of the fascistization of western culture and if we're going to fight back we're going to need to make it normal to be horny again.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

You know you can boycott Amazon for more than a day, right? It's not that hard. In fact, it's very easy to never shop there.

I haven’t painted any Battletech this year. I’ve been feverishly working on other projects, most of which I can’t show yet. Vexing.

I found some #battletech minis in the used bin at the local game store. They need a bit of re-basing and one of them is unfinished. They’ll make good enemy forces for campaigns. #miniatures #minispainting #paintingminis #mechwarrior

I made a gacha for TANKETTES! Inspired by Smash Bros., each capsule contains a random model for the inspector I'm adding to the gallery. #indiegames #indiedev #videogames #3dmodel #3dmodeling #animation #animated #tank #retrogaming #gamedev #blender3d #3dart #madewithunity #indiegamedev #myart #b3d

Serving the public trust, protecting the innocent, and… upholding the law? I mean, the way things are going here in the US right now, these definitely seem like they’ll be punishable offenses in about 3 months or so… maybe less.

No. Buy a rainbow gun, train with your friends, take a Stop The Bleed class, practice unslinging, reloading, firing, clearing weapon malfunctions, and unloading one-handed with both left and right hand in kneeling, prone, and supine positions. Practice applying a tourniquet to yourself one-handed.

Post-stream: updated the BulletManager to not only use framerate-independent time, but do sub-frame position sampling for higher-precise patterns. #ScreenShotSaturday 🎶 Venus Wars OST (Joe Hisaishi) 🎶 WISHLIST NIGHTSHIFT GALAXY: store.steampowered.com/app/3038700/...

Swarm tactics This one went through so many changes from start to finish. Initially I wanted it to feature Awesome and to have single elemental swooping in through missile barrage... #battletech #digitalpainting #art #digitalart #procreate #procreateartist #mechwarrior

Punching above its weight class. #battletech #art

Share one of your favorite animated series from the 90’s

I’m not a huge fan of Star Wars. Mostly because I think the Jedi are dumb. I was always more in it for the space ships. But Andor and Rogue One? Espionage thrillers that dig much deeper than “empire bad?” Perfection! I’ll be watching each new episode on repeat throughout the week again this season.

This is my cat, Ree. I'm not sure how she got in my #indiegame, or how she acquired a Jagdpanther, be here she goes! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogames #retrogaming #blender3d #b3d #3dmodel #3dmodeling #animated #animation #myart #turnaround #madewithunity

Sasha, from my #indiegame Tankettes, in her IS-3. She loves to shout orders at the other Tankettes, much to their chagrin. #indiedev #videogames #gamedev #indiegamedev #3dmodel #3dmodeling #blender3d #b3d #madewithunity #retrogaming #animated #animation #myart #turnaround
