Finally getting back to work on my Link mod for Smack Studio! (With a little help from a mystery animator, that is 👀) Today I animated Walk and Down Strong! #SmackStudio #Zelda #OoT #indieFGC

the grind continues

tried 3D modelling an inhaler it's only when you try capturing an object's essence that you appreciate all the nuances of its shape everything looks simple until you attempt to draw it or sculpt it 😩 #IndieGameDev #blender

isn't my chunky baby cute 🚀

Another 3d modelling test, this time loosely based off a sketch by Peter Wartman 👨‍🎨 It's cool how much some nice gritty textures can elevate my goofy models 😅 #3D #blender

Listen to me yap a while about a character I designed for my #indiegame...

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

A little behind-the-scenes on our character design process for Man shik the farmer. 👨‍🎨🎨 Making your own #indiegame really teaches you just how much thought goes into your favourite art! The Siege of Jeomdo is available on Steam btw... #visualnovel 👀

I drew SO much art for the battles in this game. It's a shame so much of it is playthrough-dependent... ^_^;

Our #indiegame #visualnovel The Siege of Jeomdo is 25% off on Steam right now! Lead your militia against overwhelming odds with the lives of your friends and village on the line ⚔

@rjducats.bsky.social improved a lot over the span of this game's development! And he continues to improve! We were VERY lucky to have him as an artist on both The Siege of Jeomdo and our prior game HipWitch!

The village in our #indiegame The Siege of Jeomdo: 1st prototype vs the release build! Boy, we came a long way. And now our game is 25% off on Steam! 🤯 You should go pick it up 👀

they're not clueless or misled or anything, they are being paid to do what they are doing. "winning" for their donor class is not winning elections, it is maintaining the status quo, which means aiming for a political deadlock where no ambitious policies can be enacted

I like Ed Sheeran being like "I never spoke about politics. Because my music is about unity, not division" and then the music is like "la la la la I want to touch your body wow. sexy crazy body wow"

imagine if the OT had as much of an identity crisis. in rotj vader would be like er. so i'm actually Not your father. ignore that

I spent 4 years working on this game and learned so much from it It'd be an honour if you gave it a try! <3

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

Our #visualnovel #indiegame The Siege of Jeomdo is still 25% off a little longer! Help a humble village of artisans defend themselves from the ruthless empire!

Releasing our first commercial video game is one of the great achievements of my life so far! :') And hey look, it's 25% off! How curious :P

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

Our #visualnovel #indiegame The Siege of Jeomdo is on sale!! Whaaaaat??? If you love weighty dilemmas and great characters, do consider our humble story ⚔️

A sale? For my #indiegame?? That's crazyyy

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

Halt! If you were thinking of picking up our indie #visualnovel The Siege of Jeomdo on Steam, maybe hold your horses! We've heard tell on the wind: A sale is approaching...

i still can't believe we made this game and i won't shut up about it for a while

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

Your sworn enemy offers to pledge fealty to you. Can you trust him? Does he even deserve the chance? #indiegame #visualnovel

seriously someone teach me how to texture properly 💀 (i am learning. slowly)

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

Still learning a lot working in 3D. We tried taking our own photos for concrete textures. They're nice and gritty - perhaps TOO gritty, distracting the eye from what should be plain and easy to take in. Also not sure how to make the seams less obvious. 🤔 #indiegamedev #madewithunity #blender

my fellow devs were not as enthused to see my fun worm as i was to share it :'(

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

learning how to make simple rigs in blender note: this is not confirmation our next game stars a wonderful green worm guy #indiegamedev #blender

We wrote a lot of stressful and depressing scenes for this game. Surely our next game will be fun and light! ... Right? 😨

When your village doctor is killed in war, how do you comfort the youths who must now take his place? How could they possibly be ready? #IndieGame #visualnovel

at America's Largest Humor Website (at the time) Cracked.com, my job for half a decade was to pick images for the articles. Finding relevant stuff in the public domain was a creative task that often inspired me to write more and better jokes. Even using Getty images was more creative than AI.

We already had free art for people who are broke or bad at designing things, it's called the PUBLIC DOMAIN

It's nice drawing for visual novels. You can add so many tiny details and not have to redraw them countless times for animation frames 😅

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

Concept art from our #indiegame The Siege of Jeomdo: The first drawing of Dokgo Sun and his final design. It's unusual to almost nail it on the first try! If only every character came so easily... 😩

I'm pretty proud of how this character design turned out! It's just a shame we don't get to see more of her!

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

Here's Pema from our #indiegame The Siege of Jeomdo! She's the protagonist's sweetheart - from a time long since passed... It occurred to us that you never do get a full view of her outfit in the final game, nor do you see it in colour. 😮 So this pic is quite the scoop! Isn't she so elegant? 🥰

Art of a school teacher character who didn't end up making the cut for our indie #visualnovel The Siege of Jeomdo. This iteration barely looks older than the students he'd teach! You can tell this is from early in development; We hadn't even stopped drawing the eye-whites!

Anyone got any Blender tips? I've been practicing modelling a lot, but progress is modest ^_^;

Studio Hip Sword@studiohipsword.bsky.social

We're slowly dipping our toes into 3D! Our lead artist has been experimenting with modelling in Blender 👀 #IndieDevs #blender
