Hi #portfolioday!

I'm a hard surface modeler and professional #unity3d dev who likes making whimsical things, solving problems, and writing shaders.

Looking for work as an environment or technical artist.

@Samwise3505238 The combat is sword fighting, where you try to strategically make cuts on your opponent's shield and break it into little pieces -- all while being able to talk to NPCs and such.

It's not a huge part of the gameplay, but I'm excited about where it's going.

Thanks for looking!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So... yeah... :D :D :D

I'm a nebula nominee.

Even writing a note like "Started working on cut tool" only to replace it ten minutes later with "Finished cut tool" is helpful

is that odd?

does that matter?

It helps.

Started using Evernote to keep daily logs of all of my projects and it's been a big productivity boost.

Having an external memory upgrade is great.

New blog post!

In which I babble about GDEX and how I'm improving my Tinselfly output by working on other things.

well... since I seem to have inadvertently bet my entire career on Unity, I thought I'd try making a demo reel showing what I can do in Unity.

p.s. you know, not Unreal i'm really sorry about that

p.p.s. please hire me

@ArtistGamedev I have been missing Rock Band so very, very much lately. Sadly, our drums are broken. :/

Oh, there are just no words. We Built This City by ⁦@mareasie⁩ in ⁦@clarkesworld⁩ is the most precious, bravest, and most alive story. https://t.co/kgXKzJgNwL

One step closer to lab grown meat, with no animals harmed in its production! I'm weirdly excited for this.

Can't wait to try this out!

A creative career isn't a race. It's a hike. We're going different places and we're arriving at different times, but if we're very lucky, we get to walk together for parts of the path.

Ooh. I should review this often.

Wrapping up flying mini game for @tinselfly. Despite its simplicity, it has to be a complete game: you can start and stop. Save progress. See transitions between modes.

So I'm in game jam mode now: trying to get it done quickly, but written well at a sustainable effort level.

[Brian Crick @oogby]

More ordinary, solid shuttle is nearly done. Moved some pieces around and added new ones, to make it less like the flying camper from Spaceballs, and bring it more in line with other ships in this universe.

Also trying to make it prettier.

Still potatoey...but a pretty potato.

saw the original Top Gun for the first time to see what all the fuss was about.

Found it meh as action, alternately inscrutable and gross as romance, underdeveloped as character study... .but... morbidly fascinating as an exploration of a strange, alien culture?
