Some bits and bobs that I've designed and animated:

@flofaconti @HarwichEP It was brilliant. I hadn't been to the palace in about thirty years and booked the viewing on a whim. I had no idea there'd be costumes and mulled wine! My kids love their sleigh bells and that night Santa came and ate the mine pies we left for him so good result all round!

Cried myself ragged watching the Polar Express on Christmas Eve at the Electric Palace cinema. They made it magical for my kids and their weeping old dad @HarwichEP

@undeadcommand00 @RayReynoldsNMS "You're".

@Borausky Gauntlet would like a word. As would Smash TV, llamatron and anything with a horde mode. Hunchback is part of a rich and violent lineage. Looks brilliant.

@PyotrAlexRoma Ah, a wild inverse kinematic. This one is an adolescent male I believe. This kind of thrashing tends to attract predators. Any minute now you'll hear the distinctive howl of a hungry Macromedia motion-tween.

@YKigono @alexriesart @voubi1 Absolutely. It ended up being entirely hand made by me, an illustrator and another animator. The VO went on a similar journey. What would have cost $600 for a half day of a human actor ended up costing thousands. They just couldn't get the AI to sound "peppy" 😄

@alexriesart @voubi1 I work in animation and motion graphics. Lately I've been getting work fixing AI. Did a campaign recently for quite a large brand that had run weeks over schedule because they couldn't change specific aspects of an AI image reliably.

@johanpeitz Which game is the submarine builder? I can't see it in your games list. It looks wonderful.

[Tony Comley @tonycomley]

@RayReynoldsNMS I don't understand why people like that would be into a game about curiosity where you can chase butterflies across purple hills atop a giant teddy bear of "orthogonal" gender.

[Tony Comley @tonycomley]

@NatNMS I'm at a similar place. Takes me ages to do an expedition. I keep getting distracted. Latest thing is to find a storm, whip out the skiff and just bob up and down on the waves like a happy pillock.

@PJaccetturo This is soup.

The problem is not artificial intelligence, it's your intelligence. Why is every scene the same colour regardless of location, mood or time of day? Why does a girl raised by giant wolves look like Kylie Jenner? There's no talent or skill here.

@aWay2TheStars @NoMansSky When it dropped I thought "We don't need fishing. That looks silly". 15 hours later, my kids are hungry but I'm too busy processing silicon jellyfish in my nutrient processor.

Teaching my son to spell using @NoMansSky as bait:

[Tony Comley @tonycomley]

@RazorMouse @NoMansSky Long overdue. Your shots are the best.

[Tony Comley @tonycomley]

@RayReynoldsNMS @hellogames @NoMansSky Ooh, I like that image format!

[Tony Comley @tonycomley]

@jj_kendall The PSVR one on PS4 was incredible. I have a Switch but for some reason don't have enough cute platformers in my life. This is why I should never be allowed in charge of the treasury.

[Tony Comley @tonycomley]

Am I about to buy a PS5 just to play Astro Bot?

[Tony Comley @tonycomley]

@RayReynoldsNMS No no no. It's pottery. They're finally adding in the sex scene from Ghost. I've been requesting it on Discord for years.

[Tony Comley @tonycomley]

@AshaRangappa_ As a Brit it's very hard to get past the fact that "Trump" means "fart". I know that some insightful points are being made about his shallow and dangerous populism but all I can think is: "It means Fart".

@rutgermegahertz All I want is whatever this is.
