After the Breathless SRD After the Firelights SRD After the Songs and Sagas SRD Prepare yourself for my next rule system. Play until you break. Then stand back up and keep playing. A "spiral of resilience".

Cat watching birds through glass noises Locally stable dithering is just one of those beautiful cursed problems (especially in VR!). The more solutions are out there, the better!

'People Make Games' expose on the treatment of employees at outsourcing studios like Brandoville in Indonesia might be the most important video they've made to date. This is a very difficult watch, but 'looking the other way' is how the wider industry lets these practices continue.

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

A sad work update: I've just received news that my contract at Playside isn't being renewed. Terrible timing too - it's the first day of my honeymoon, and it looks like I won't have a job to come back to. If you're looking for a senior-level tech artist or rendering engineer, I'd love to talk!

Earlier this year I jumped onboard at Playside, and one of the games I've been working on just launched! 'Dumb Ways to Die'-themed VR WarioWare-like that's honestly super fun to play. It's a wonderful team, and I'm super excited to see it out in the wild! youtu.be/Xg4-4RcPVqQ?...

Started setting up a starter pack for technical and vfx artists here! It's not conclusive yet, I'll update it as I go, but it should be a great start to find some awesome artists ✨ go.bsky.app/Bih7pqu
