Congrats on the release to the talented team behind Burn With Me! I got to draw some alternative card illustrations for the game, so go ahead and try to unlock them… if you DARE!

The feedback form for the initiative is open. Somewhat surprisingly, there's actually even an option to leave your comment as a non-citizen. Please don't let this become law without a fight! 🙏 ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

I am once again sorry for the art drought. Very preoccupied by the very concept of me having a job and providing for my family being written out of existence by tech bros, influencers and politicians. A lot of staring blankly at the screen in my busy schedule these days.

So this is bad. I don't think EU indies can even continue to exist if this passes. Even non-EU devs would essentially have to lose a chunk of their audience to these regulations. Be aware of this if you're a EU citizen, there might still be time to at least steer it into something less cataclysmic.

I've been affected by this. I'll be remaining at KO_OP until the end of the year, at which point I'll be looking for full time animation work, either remote or onsite in Vancouver. I will likely open commissions around this time too, so keep an eye out.

i have unfortunately been affected by this, and will be leaving the studio at the end of this month. i will miss it dearly and am really hoping to make it back. ko_op is/was likely my last ride in games, but i am open to the right opportunity. deets on my experience in thread.

So with the news of the layoffs at KO_OP, I'm officially looking for work later this fall. I'm an experienced narrative designer that's worked on both sprawling open world stories and intimate cinematic narratives, even netting some award wins and noms. More details on my experience below!

Some sad news from our studio today. Everyone departing KO_OP during these tough times are absolute world class folks. It's been a joy and a privilege to ship a game together. If you're looking for good-hearted and hard-working developers you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to consider them.

We still have around 10 creatures left to be redrawn! If you are an artist (furry or not), and would be interested to contribute your art to Burn With Me (store.steampowered.com/app/2954010/...), please DM me! The more cool artists participate, the happier I am :) Here are some of the examples!

Thanks! Doing what I love most: subjecting drawings to strange Substance Designer experiments.

Meanwhile, at The Church of Cat.

Sorry there hasn't been much in terms of art recently. I'm pretty consistent about picking up a stylus these days, but most of it is either for bigger unannounced things or just me scribbling absent-minded doodles for fun.

Went to do a little exploring yesterday. Really wish I didn't forget to charge my camera flash though.

Up on Friday night stacking concrete blocks.

¡Vamos España! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

Does anyone know if we have a gaming industry tomorrow?

Big month for cool, artistic movies that got rejected by fandom culture poisoned viewers and small-time social media influencers, huh.

I hope they're not an invasive species.

Overexposed.

That's a good stopping point, I think. Maybe just a couple more rooms and it'll be about the size/complexity I imagined for an average level. It's really fun to build stuff once you already have all the necessary lego pieces in the content browser, I should do this more often.

Sorry for disappearing from the face of the internet for a bit. I've been making some good progress on developing my Big Unannounced Game, which unfortunately meant I had to pause working on art I can actually share. And also I didn't really like any of my recent WIPs haha.

Even more art tests. This one is for the point-and-click game idea I keep meaning to flesh out a bit. Played around with baked lighting this time. These are 3D, in-engine and almost entirely procedurally textured. Didn't have to lay down a single brushstroke. Kind of excited about this workflow.

We’re hiring a QA Analyst! $90,069 CAD/year, remote 6-month contract, 4-day work weeks with flexible hours! 🫶 Apply now: www.workwithindies.com/careers/ko-o... ✨

I turned three cans of Monster and a sleepless weekend into a tiny videogame for the Global Game Jam. It's about escaping a room full of procedurally generated masked weirdos, something I'm sure we all can relate too. Play it now on your Windows personal computer: khorrorshow.itch.io/i-dont-know-...

Test character for a thing. I've never been able to crack the code on crunchy pixelated textures, they never look quite like I want them to. Even with the amazing Pixel8r tool that basically does all the work for me. PSX devs make it look so easy!

Сделал себе Telegram-канал для личных заметок. Никакой определённой тематики, просто про бытовые мелочи и случайные мысли. Прямо сейчас там можно почитать немного моих итогов года и посмотреть фотографии, сделанные на детский микроскоп. Надеюсь, заинтриговал. It's okay if not. t.me/khorrorshowl...

Drawing sad catgirls with less than two hours left on the clock, heck yeah. Have a good 2026, everyone. ✨
