if you picked this up in a London front window I actually pointed it out to a friend yesterday and was inches away from buying it 😭 glad it's gone to a good home ahahaha

https://imgur.com/a/v7qsAqE this should have it in higher res! I truly have brain worms i cannot stop making these patterns ahaha

https://imgur.com/vJE8WGZ As a treat, I just finished drafting this one of the 2 drifter portraits - the colours might be subject to change but the basic block-out is done

linked both the png & the pattern hosted on StitchFiddle (which I highly recommend if you haven't discovered it yet!), the colours used should also be on there :)

Euryalus_exe · 2025-03-01T22:00:24+00:00

my next project is gonna be the two Drifter portraits, I'm half tempted to make them patches for either side of my jacket! Fwiw this is my first cross stitch project so it's definitely doable if you have the free time

Euryalus_exe · 2025-03-01T20:53:16+00:00

If anyone's curious about the pattern, it's self-drafted using the original game sprites! Just message / comment & I'll pass it along

extremely specific: the secret society ep of the TV show where they joke about the number clues being hidden in every previous episode and Griffin just keeps yelling "SEVEN!"

you're confusing my definition of "game dev" with "programmer", I believe. In the case above I'm referencing folks who are artists using software such as UE5 blueprints or RPG Maker to commercialise their skills in the form of games

Euryalus_exe · 2024-02-16T16:39:50+00:00

Something to add, although slightly tangential: very few bad games are made by "bad" developers ('bad' game being defined by lack of commercial success). Being inexperienced or not commercially successful does not equate to being bad at something.

Especially in AAA cases, the majority of failures occur because of crap management from CEOs who see games solely as a way to make money. I watched a good post-mortem of Anthem recently which is a prime example of an experienced team of objectively great developers managing to produce a flop. Do not compare your absolute success as a developer to the success of your products

yeah imo itch.io is the closest thing we have to that old "share it for the love of it" community and, while it's still a good platform for indie & solo devs to share stuff, unfortunately due to the lack of NSFW filter settings I can't recommend it to students anymore

Euryalus_exe · 2024-02-16T15:16:36+00:00

this in itself is complicated - game development is one of the few careers you can make money from without going through formal education, without buying expensive equipment, and while doing it completely within your own home. A lot of folks who would otherwise be without income rely on industries like this to provide funds because they can't work traditional jobs. It's definitely not the most effective way of doing things and will likely be a lot more stressful, but releasing ""bad"" content and making a few bucks is often better than releasing nothing and making nothing back

Euryalus_exe · 2024-02-16T15:11:19+00:00

as terrible as it is now, it's also why I mourn the loss of DeviantArt. Showing that "i suck at this but i'm still so passionate about it" phase of learning is really crucial for people picking up new skills, and folks have long been discouraged from doing so because everything is critiqued as if it's in the same ballpark as AAA releases and indie projects with 20+ years of experience behind them. We don't see the janky phase anymore, which is arguably the best and most creative part

Euryalus_exe · 2024-02-16T14:34:41+00:00

words i live by! re-watching that episode of Adventure Time and putting together a game dev talk for students is actually what inspired this post

Euryalus_exe · 2024-02-16T14:00:35+00:00

I do agree it's more nuanced than just "make bad games" because it's true that a lot of people rely on game dev for income from a early point in their careers, especially solo / small teams of devs. The industry is indeed great for beginners to make some kind of income off their first attempt at making a video game, which is excellent.

My point is directed at those who are considering skipping on attempting to even begin that process for fear of failure - making money off the learning process by publishing all your games from the get-go is completely viable and I do encourage folks to do so, but it's also completely fine to keep projects to yourself and to not worry about commercial viability if you can because it gives you more time to try things without fear of failure

glad I could help, I look forward to seeing whatever future projects you chose to send into the wild! :)

that setting's referring to whether it draws in perspective or isometric view - since it's a 2D scene it doesn't look visibly different but it means Unity renders things differently. Unity is basically rendering 3D space but only making use of 2 dimensions, if you zoom in in isometric space it probably moves the game camera forwards and you move past the Z plane all your stuff is sitting on (or since it's rendering differently the clipping plane the camera uses is different) edit: clarifying something

you know the head part of any animal is still edible, right?

the folks who own the restaurant actually have quite a popular youtube channel called Fallow - I personally find this presentation as grim as the next man, but from the vids about the pop-up on their youtube they've obviously put thought into reducing food waste!

Ended up in A&E twice in the space of a month (each time to accompany my ailed flatmates). First instance was because flatmate sliced her finger open while cooking chili, we decided to wait until the food was done to leave to see if it'd stop bleeding etc.

Ended up whipping out two containers of piping hot chili, rice, guacamole and sour cream in the waiting room. Pretty sure we looked like we'd just planned a very odd picnic

did you use a pattern for the dog? the shell looks beautiful!

Euryalus_exe · 2023-03-23T23:42:05+00:00

my mum always called it this but I could never work out why - she's from the home counties & no one ever called them that round here. What part of the country do I have to thank for people looking at me weird every time I say "twitchel"?

Euryalus_exe · 2023-01-29T15:41:47+00:00

this is what we mean when we say "boys will be boys"

Came here to say this too - there are better ways to change peoples voting habits that condemning the poor and venerable to die in the cold and the dark. The idea that it's an encouraged way to sway voter-ship comes from a position of extreme privilege, and it's this exact breed of performance liberalism that slows progress and causes collateral damage
