I’m so incredibly excited to reveal that my little, animated short film Scavengers has been selected to screen at the Copenhagen Short Film Festival in Empire Bio on Sunday the 8th of November, at 17:00. 🙌❤️ #csff26 #cphsff26 #animation #krita

Hello friends! We've been quiet for a while but thank you for waiting if you're still here. We are working on new stuff I'm excited to share soon but for now I'd like to show some new perspectives on our past releases! Klifur has very simple physics behind the scenes. I'd like to explain briefly.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Hey there friends! Unfortunately, I was among those impacted by layoffs at Heart Machine last week. If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced Unreal Engine Technical Artist, I'm available for full time, part time, or contract opportunities.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Wow my indie game startup is just like Nintendo, Capcom and Konami!

Japanese companies like Nintendo, Capcom, and Konami are healthier because they have smaller teams, don't have frequent layoffs, and don't pay executives $30 million, says expert www.gamesradar.com/games/japane...

Came out so well!

Willem our 3D magician, prepared our Drone character for 3D printing! 🐝 Did you know that the male drones have larger eyes than the female workers? They are also mostly useless within the hive, but the workers still like to care for them. ❤️ #3dprinting #resinprinting #beespace #indiegame

That was me! The programmer, not the art intern.

We had an amazing intern this summer called Hrafnar. He modelled this frog for Bee Space and created a rig that even a programmer (and ceo) could use to create this animation. #blender #beespace #frog #indiegames

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

You keep seeing these AI companies, including Microsoft’s own AI division, operating at massive, unheard of losses while being hailed as the future… meanwhile the division actually making a profit has to lay off many thousand people presumably to offset those eye-watering AI losses?

I think the algorithm or *something* hates me, if you could do me a kindness and share the work I do, it would really help me <3

It wasn't long before I realized *exactly* where I can leverage this new-found knowledge. Fired up a quick test in Desmos, and holy shit. 😤☁️ #gamedev #indiedev

Duuuuude, you can even combine smooth max and smooth min with negative lambda to get effects like this. Mind blown. I previously would have had to do like 50 extra steps with other expensive operations just to achieve similar results. #gamedev #indiedev
