Fewer things make me more hype about this thing than your music pouring out of it. I'm excited about even more human ears finding their way to you.

Developers! This heuristics student reached out to me looking for practical experience in the summer of 2021. He ended up conducting a Bounty Star playtest/focus group and absolutely killed it. If you need or know someone who needs this hit him up!

Bounty Star's environment art was established and constructed by @Zerdex who is himself hyper talented but moved on from the project to do their own cool things. Big big shout/outs
I made the prototype of Bounty Star in 6 months with a hyper talented and cool engineer that isn't on twitter or else I would have tagged her. :(
Been making this cool thing with @biphenyl @Zathalos and @DanFoxAnimates. Brought to you by @A_i

BOUNTY STAR by DINOGOD is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam in 2023.
Play as Clem, an ex-soldier without purpose or peace, as she gets back into a mech, fights bands of mercenaries, and learns to care about the post-post Apocalyptic desert home she intended to rot in.

Another one. Reveals, announcements, and much more. July 28 // 12pm PT // 3pm ET // 8pm BST
Are you a graphic designer or know one? I’ve been making a card game prototype and it’s to the point where I want it to start lookin a little sexy. Hit me, I've got cash, but also money. Benruiz at gmail.

.@bartsimon @Felantron & I wrote an article about the extra, invisible, unwaged & gendered work done by creatives when they leave large studios and "go indie". @FacultiNet created a 20min explainer of the "missing producer" paper for those who don't read aca papers for funsies!

Hey folks - we've got a very cool (and very different) game looking for a contract character concept artist. This person would be defining the look/style for all the main characters. Interested? Hop into the DM with portfolio links plz. #gamejobs
YAY SARAH look at this sweet game
It's #PitchYaGame time! I'm working on I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, a card-battling life sim where you live (and die, and re-live) your torrid teenage years in humanity's first extrasolar colony.

Are you or do you know a character rigger looking for some work? I've got a nice handful of characters that need to be skinned to the Mixamo skeleton and MotionBuilder will do the rest. Email me up at Ben -at - dinogod if you're interested. Thanks!
Do you know a shit hot character/beast animator? I got a bag of money to throw at one who wants to spend at least 6 full time months on an action game. If they can use/learn MotionBuilder and can rig then bonus.
If you're still tabletopping (hopefully remotely/safely) then check out this MASSIVE pile of super high quality D&D map from an artist trying to pay their bills. It's very very good stuff and it covers a LOT of bases. tinyurl.com/8nws9sas
