Been having a great time working on this with @human.computer since May last year. Teaser for the studio's first game is out and it's so much fun! Joey's editing of the trailer is so great!

I want to make it very clear that the art and skill set I have are 100% compatible with a PC first approach.
I have helped port several games to PC such as Assemble with Care, Monument Valley 1 & 2 as well as helped the workflow for MV3 to be compatible with PC/console from the beginning.
Ohhhhh this is so cool! This past week I was just practicing making them on pen and paper!

Read small way to an angry planet last year and enjoyed it. I’ve got the follow up recently so looking forward to diving in again
Currently reading the dispossessed and it’s so interesting! Glad to be finally correcting never having read any ursula le guin!
Finally, a flag worth fighting for.
Ahhhhhh I saw that too after rolling credits on the added content and immediately thought of you!! 💖
One hundred percent. It’s on my all time super bestest list!
Stack of books to be read on the left: - The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin - Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin - Renegades by Marissa Meyer - A Master of Djinn by P. Djèli Clark - The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang - Yellowface by R.F. Kuang - Katabasis by R.F. Kuang Stack of book already read on the right: - Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L Wang
Got back into reading fiction in a big way the year before last after reading N. K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy. My family and partner were very good in gifting this haul of fiction over Christmas.
Already finished Blood Over Bright Haven and it’s electric
Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.
Really enjoyed reading this! Long time jrpg nerd and big e33 fan. I haven’t been aware of the ‘discourse’ so it’s interesting to read about the game through the lens of respectability politics
Always great news when Deconstructeam pop up with a new game! Can’t wait! Good luck for release!
Awwwww glad you enjoyed it!
(Yeah lining up paths on a sphere meant grid snapping went out the window. Had to create my own plane objects that defined specific alignment points 😅)
One of the last puzzles I made for Monument Valley 3 was the Rubik’s Sphere. There were some cool technical and design challenges to bringing this one to life.
Hironobu Sakaguchi, recently, on his X account, has been posting an absolute treasure trove of design docs and promotional materials from early games. These are early design docs from Final Fantasy 3.

My level art..... ON DA TUBE????? 😳
My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
Last weekend I played so much News Tower that the news article symbols were in my dreams. Can’t wait to do the same again this weekend!
Ah my bad! It’s Monument Valley 3. More content just got released yesterday
Yeeeee, four new chapters and loooaaadds of mini puzzles!
Another Monument Valley 3 mini puzzle on steam deck.
Weeeeeee Rubik’s Sphere!!!! I still don’t know how to solve my own puzzle!
Well I didn’t talk about labyrinth sphere in my video, but I did make it. Not the favourite of my sphere based creations in MV but maybe I’ll see the other…
Another Monument Valley 3 mini puzzle on steam deck. This one is a labyrinth sphere!
Weeeeeee I found another: labyrinth sphere!!
