It's all 3D. We pre-render the GI for environments in 3DS Max, then have dynamic lights for the sun, light sources etc.

There's also an entry (by me) on entering video game cities too.

"And what of the dead? They lie without shoes
in their stone boats. They are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse
to be blessed, throat, eye and knucklebone."

Pavel Elagin, Lighting Demo Reel This is "Pavel Elagin, Lighting Demo Reel" by paberu on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

Towerborne is out! I spent the last 4 years on this project. I feel very fortunate to have been part of such an amazing Env Team, we made some really cool stuff! Unfortunately most of us are now also looking for work =/

Anyway, I want to share my first ever Lighting Demo Reel!

A screenshot showing a 3D model that has been painted in gold and stone surfaces. There is a small window with preview of brushes. The model depicts a lamp with a floating red crystal in the middle.

Some more progress with the hand painting. This time it#s on the golden wings. #art

There is nothing inappropriate about this game. It is simply about decks. Wishlist Davy Jones Deckhand on Steam. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ #indiegames #kiwi #flightoftheconchords #deckbuilder

So proud I get to help @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social create this incredibly important historical game, despite the powers that be in the games industry insisting that Palestinians can not be allowed to tell their story.

When I was working on South of the Circle I made a volcano range with 7 or so rock meshes I made just scaling rotating and placing them by hand. The art style helped dramatically to pull it off. #gamedev

Oh no your honor, we just make cute video games. There's ZERO parallels to what's happening in the REAL world. That's just silly and coincidental. It's just about cooking, mechs, and turn-based battles.

This is my most recent personal project, which took me months to complete. It was during an extremely difficult time in my life, just last year.

I'm proud of how far it went, and it was satisfying to create something complex that wasn't tucked behind an NDA. Here's a quick Before and After :)

The layout of this apartment is very similar to the one I had as a student in Kyoto 25 years ago (though this one's about 4 times bigger for gameplay purposes!)
