@romero Just got to this part of the book! Had to google this, because I couldn't image why people thought it was real. Seeing this image now, I can see how people thought it was real😂

@Bright__Whitney Congratulations! Sounds exciting 👏🏼

[Erick Villarreal @theartoferick]

@HarveyFierstein I just realized you're still with us. Why aren't you in everything ever made? I loved you in all the movies I loved growing up.

[Erick Villarreal @theartoferick]

Love what you're doing Nathan! As a videogame dev, it's been a dream to work on an old-school style survival horror game one day. Rooting for you!

Announcing my new game, Hollowbody.

A tech-noir homage to classic survival horror. Inspired by Silent Hill 3 💀

Please help me make this project a reality by supporting the game on Kickstarter:

@Xploshi How did you get it to work? I've been pulling my hair over here.

[Erick Villarreal @theartoferick]

I got to add my dad to the end credits to WWE-2K24.
This game is dedicated to my father, who we lost right before Thanksgiving last year towards the end of the game development. I will always carry your lessons with me.
I love you, dad.

Keep going.

I cant compete with my moms work ethic but I did get some of it. Grateful for the breakthroughs in the game industry. Something that seemed impossible one day is now experience on my resume.

Started a new job working at Happy Mushroom as Environment Artist for the Visual Art Department. I'll be working with a technology I've been interested in for a while. It merges realtime game engines with live action acting using a dome that projects an image. #erickvillarreal3d

#ICYMI Our next game is getting a gorgeous physical release thanks to @PerpGames. Watch this space for more, including details on special bonuses we can't wait to share

I was 8 years old when I first played Resident Evil 2, I was so blown away from the cuts scenes I promised myself I'd study video game design as an adult. 20 years later I got my first 3D Job. #REBH25th
