Creating Brushes for Patterns along Lines in Inkscape

2d Game Art Guru

It’s been a while and I have quite a backlog of videos and tutorial material for Affinity Designer and Inkscape by now. I enjoy the creation process, finding solutions, and then recording a video or creating a quick tutorial strip. Sadly, I tend to neglect the website or my social media posts over it. There are simply too many interesting projects to cover… but I will try and catch up.

new Quake map: There's a Certain Slant of Light

Radiator Blog

These are design notes about my process and intent, and it may spoil what happens in the level. I made my new single player Quake map "There a Certain Slant of Light" for the Quake Brutalist Jam , a 2 1/2 week long map jam focused around making chunky modernist concrete themed levels. I actually made most of this level around two years ago. I wasn't really happy with it, so I never released it.

Maintenance release: Godot 3.5.1

Mircosoft Game Dev

We released Godot 3.5 in early August, and like any release, there are few rough edges to iron out which warrant making maintenance "patch" releases (3.5.x). Such maintenance releases focus on fixing bugs and not on integrating new features. This helps guarantee that the overall production readiness of the stable branch keeps increasing. So this 3.5.1 release fixes a number of regressions that users reported after the release, as well as various other fixes to pre-existing bugs and usa

How VR changes how games are played

Rampant Games

Yeah, a lot of my posts are VR-related these days. It’s how I roll, now. Not that all (or even most) of my gaming is in VR. I’m still retro-gaming regularly and I am really looking forward to the PC release of Persona 5 next month. But… VR is a wild and exciting frontier, and I’m still nowhere near jaded. While a lot of approaches and conventions have solidified for certain genres of games, there’s still nothing set in stone, especially as the tech keeps improving.

Ultima Online’s 25th anniversary

Raph Koster

W ell, twenty-five years is a long time. Half a life, in fact! Given that I actually started work on UO on September 1st 1995, it’s actually more than half. The fact that the game is still running is a testament to the devoted community and the ongoing maintenance over the years from countless people. I note a lack of thinkpieces and articles, this time around.
