Wait that was it? I'm a professional UI designer / programmer working on an indie game in my free time. I also do a lot of 3D modeling. #godot #blender #gamedev #indiedev #art

A screenshot of a scene in the godot editor. There's an untextured warehouse room in the scene. In the center is a transform gizmo, a reflection probe, a bunch of baked ambient light probes, and also the main mesh of the scene is outlined purple wireframe. The purple represents the occluder instance. There's also some cyan wireframes under a ledge. Those are part of the navmesh.
A screenshot of a c# comment that just says the term "SINGLE FRAME GAME DESIGN". This concept was seen a lot in the MultiMedia Fusion community, and relates to when and where code was allowed to reference objects. Code was executed per-room, or "frame", and there was no way to share code across frames. So to get around this, lots of developers made custom level editors that allowed them to bring their whole game into a single frame. This let them scope their code in a global way, but when doing this, the frame editor would become useless. These were dark times.
A screenshot of an in-engine render of Dice (a character from my game). I'm sorry. I tried to upload a real transparent png but Bluesky wouldn't let me. You're just going to have to trust me on this one.
A screenshot of the event editor in Multimedia Fusion 2. In it, we can see an event in which an opengl display list is called. It's taking the texture from an object in the frame editor and mapping it to a quad in the opengl context. This means we can directly map 2D HUD elements into the 3D world. All in a 2D game engine NEVER designed for such a thing.
A screenshot of a cutscene in MegaMan X7. X is standing on the left. Axle is standing on the right. The textbox below them says "Talk is cheap. Prove it to me first"
A screenshot of a 3D level in Godot. In it, we can see buildings with large overhangs, rails, a small house, and a large wall. In front of the wall is a ramp that has some kind of machine inside. Large gears can be seen turning behind some bars. A floating land mass can also be seen off to the left.
A screenshot of a 3D level in Godot. Buildings and a floating land mass can be seen in the distance. The player character can be seen in front of that. They are performing a trick, which is an action that can be done in the game.
A screenshot of Blender 4.2 in edit mode. A model made of 3 tris / 3 faces / 6 edges / 4 verts is shown. The name of the object in the scene is "ThreeDoritos"
A screenshot of a 3D level in Godot. It shows the side of a building (located on the left). There is a ledge off to the right with a rail. A floating land mass with gears cut into the mountains can be seen off to the side. It's connected to the floor / ledge by an archway.
3 characters from my game. From left to right: Alex, Izzy, and Lodo. Alex and Izzy look concerned about their current location. Lodo is looking at them, annoyed that they don't understand what a level blockout is. Robots can be seen in the background, supposedly helping to build the new level.
