A demo reel containing some of the VFX I made for The Patrick Star Game. It was so cool to work on an IP I grew up with!

Hey Kiwi friends! Would like this to go wide for #nzgdc!

The Keynote started a bit later than expected, so I wanted to make sure folks who had to run for 10am obligations had a chance to hear the important bits! Thanks for sharing!

@LuukFX @tha_rami That's unfair and unreasonable. This is a fair critique of a person making a horrendous statement, not an endorsement of their opponent.

[Windblown 🌪️ NOW in Early Access! @windblowngame]

The day has arrived!

And with that we wanted to share what you can expect to find in the world of Windblown, while also taking a look to the horizon, and what's to come as we embark into Early Access 🙏

Oh, and did we mentioned launch times? 👀

@Acerola__t @BenSimsTech No the answer is Godot because the gizmos look cooler

@MichaelG_3D Sorry, it's Jon* Cartwright

[Aaron Simon @AaronS_VFX]

@MichaelG_3D Having just been at a conference where John Cartwright spoke, I can say with their confidence that right now in the current economic climate that you need a demo that best represents the game you're intending to make in both mechanically and aesthetically (within reason).

Old VHS-like post-process material in UE5.
It's improved version that I created before.
I've also put together an overview of the node, which I hope will be easier to understand than before.

The Most Important Part of My Keynote.

If you are building games as a business, You need to be building tightly scoped games with small teams on a short timeline.
