Here's the April update to the technique. The main new addition is the use of a procedural flow map to inform brush stroke length and direction.

Recreation of Richborough Roman coastal fort #Kent c AD 250 The fort enclosed an earlier triumphal arch Anyone who's read Rosemary Sutcliff's 1959 novel *The Lantern Bearers* will know the arch probably became a signal tower © Ivan Lapper 2001 (for the English Heritage guide) #RomanFortThursday

I've been pretty quiet lately, but I need to come out of my shell now because we have lots of exciting things happening in the next 6 weeks or so!! First up: our game is part of GAMES AS ART festival tomorrow in Finland! I'll be talking about how I make our bird art 🐣

An old sketch, attempting to "get" some pixel art techniques at the time.

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

When I referred to the industry as being “crashier” now than it was in 1983, I meant how it feels to live and work in this industry as a developer, not in terms of industry revenue. A🧵...

Exciting day for our game today - it's being played out in the world at TWO big events this weekend! Check it out if you're at: 🏰 Leftfield Collection, MCM LONDON 🏯 Bitsummit KYOTO & if you're at home? Sure, you can play the (100% positive reviews!) demo too! store.steampowered.com/app/4396770/...

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Figured out how to record some higher res video. Trying to get a sense for how annoying the stroke blends/pops are for people (without the video encoding masking it). It's fairly faithful in this video at full res. Would you suffer it? vimeo.com/1193752504

On this technique I put so much work into trying to figure out stability over camera motion, I forget to consider the still screens. I mean it's valid to focus on that (no-one will want to play a game that looks like a bag of worms), but it can be nice to consider shots here and there.

Meet my game in 20 seconds. That's Paper Rogue, an indie roguelike where you fight, kick enemies into traps, loot gear, and drink potions off the floor. Turns out heroes have questionable drinking habits 😂 Demo available soon #indiegames #roguelike #gameplay #dungeoncrawler #gamedev #rpg #devlog

When I speak about racism I've experience in Ireland quite often I'll get a comments like: "Sure you're more Irish than them" or "I bet they can't even speak Irish like you". Here's why I ask you to not make these kind of comments anymore:

It's Bealtaine. Jump the fires of the sun on earth. Burn away the dark spirits that have black moulded to your back. Keep that morning dew on your tongue and drive your cattle to grassy pastures. Protect the flame of today, in your heart, for another year.

I'm glad to see these more in depth product blogs taking place from middleware. Too often this sort of information is hidden to developers if they aren't in a big team or directly working on the code. You get to see a) the typical issues and b) the better solutions. www.havok.com/blog/how-hav...

I got around to playing this last week. It's fun! There are plenty of interesting choices and I like the feedback loop of defeated enemies becoming friends. Figuring out when to push forward and how to time the use of friends as wildcards to fix your hand was key for me. Demo recommended!
