@BOOOfficial I think this is one of the best albums what I have listened the last 5 years. Thank you!

Day 2 of the job hunt.

I was recently laid off.. So I’ll be sharing something I’ve designed every day until I’m hired. Find my portfolio below!

Last week I was busy to learn how to animate characters in blender. I followed a great tutorial created by @GameDevTV.
These are just the first steps on this journey, but it feels great!

Any feedback are welcomed!

Just finished a game-ready #anime character!
She may never leave the shelf, but I’m pretty happy with the result— not bad from a programmer👨‍💻.
Big thanks to @GameDevTV for the tutorial!

💜 Give her a heart if you like it!

@clemmygames I totally agree.
Although this is really subjective.

I am still in the anime character tutorial. Far from finish, but I made some progress.

Quality check: would you play this lady in a 3rd-person game?
All feedback welcome!

Started learning Blender again—shooting for anime style, but she’s turning into a curvy, slightly creepy Sectoid from an old-school X-COM game. 🛸
Is the chest too much, or should I just steer full sci-fi alien? 😅
Thoughts?

Finally finished my first full-body #orc in #Blender.
Not perfect, but pretty decent for a programmer on the first try (even if it took ages). 🧌
Big thanks to @grantabbitt for the tutorial!

Lesson learned: turn on double-opt-in + reCAPTCHA before the bots move in.
Save yourself the headache—no one wants 42 pushy vacuum-cleaner agents clogging their list. 😆

🛠️ Still working on my orc character.
This is the ugliest hand what I have ever seen.
I am programmer
What is your opinion? Acceptable?

🛠️ Still working on my orc character.
The basic sculpt is done, and now I’m tackling the skirt…
Which is, well—not appropriate. 😅🌈🧌🪓

Slight detour today...
My girlfriend said: “Draw me a bunny.” 🐰✏️
So I did.
Meet Rary. The second most terrifying bunny in fantasy history.
(Who’s #1 in your book?) 🐰🪓💀

This week I refactored all the animation-related logic in my UE5 project.
Goal: something extendable… or at least manageable😅

Still learning (and suffering) through the Blender character tutorial.

How do you balance these solo dev phases?

(Re)Started in Blender with the Blender Character Creator for Video Games tutorial by @grantabbitt via @GameDevTV.

Really enjoying it so far — thank you! 🙏

🎬 Just finished my Unreal C++ course and made this fun little tribute to the Black Knight scene from Monty Python.
Still learning, still messing up — but slowly getting better.
Thanks @DruidMechanics for the awesome tutorial! 🙏

We have just finished our second day on TwitchCon. It was a really nice experience! Thank you!

I finally finished my Unreal course!
To celebrate, I re-enacted the most cursed part of the journey: killing bugs that won’t stay dead.
Inspired by Monty Python’s Black Knight, here’s what it looks like when your death logic… doesn’t.

I finally stopped deviating from the tutorial and wrote a giant TODO list across my classes.
Feels like a better strategy for long tutorials: build first, clean up later.
At least it’s kind of structured now.
I swear I’ll fix this later. 🪦😅
