The world of Samson is really well done in my opinion.
The design, flow, and really fantastic environment art work well together giving the city a unique, cool vibe.
Also, the prop placement/decoration is better than most.
Kudos to @LiquidSwords

Today is the last day of CULTIC's Daily Deal! You can snag CULTIC and the Ch.2 DLC for 30% off, making them $6.99 each!
That's almost the same price as this coffee cake I bought at a gas station in Nebraska. I dunno if that makes CULTIC cheap or this coffee cake overpriced...
I played all the way through Youngblood in co-op then kept playing well after. I really enjoyed it. Beautiful game and level design is fantastic.
For this game I planned a combat sequence where resistants scream at the nazis during the gunfight, wrote everything, recorded everything myself in Arkane's audiobooth, then I never integrated it as I was so cringed by my ridiculous screaming voice.

Sunday, whose brain is still asleep but whose body is not, here are some exercises with Unreal Engine and for those who don't know what's in my zoom node of the previous material, I'll remind you. Zoo, zoom, zoomer #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5
Thursday. Tea. Because it's not time for coffee. Warming up with Unreal Engine. Let's rotate the texture again, but this time with BumpOffset and zoo-m. Looks fantastic and mystical #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev
Really cool game. I really enjoyed it.
I'm playing Industria. I like it apart from one thing. It's very very scarce on ammo and resources. I think I'm pretty thorough when exploring but I'm always out of ammo (across all 5 guns!). It's leading to more death/reloads than I would like. Apart from that it's gorgeous and fun to explore with great voice acting, and I'm enjoying it. It's $2. Come on man...seems well worth that. store.steampowered.com/app/1…

To all you gamers that love indie games and to all of you developers who make indie games.
What are your go to websites for resources, information and news regarding indie games?
I'm currently adding a link section to my website and already have the obvious, Steam, Itch, IndieDB and Rock Paper Shotgun. But I'd like to add a few more useful Indie resources to that list, to make it really useful.
Yesterday I played the demos for @SPRAWLfps and @MortalShellGame . Loved both. Fantastic games that feel super polished. Each sold world and tone and were incredibly fun. Can’t wait for both to release.
It looks amazing, and right up my alley. The reveal was a pleasant surprise.

I hate to make this post, but I've been unemployed for 8 months now and my freelance work has totally dried up.
Things are getting pretty scary.
I'm a 3D hardsurface artist with 4+ years of experience working in games, manufacturing, and marketing.
Open to any opportunities.
