We're still a bit too close to launch for me to have an objective view of causes etc, but safe to say Into the Slimy Mines has 28 100% positive Steam reviews, but hasn't done nearly what we hoped sales-wise. So any shares are massively appreciated store.steampowered.com/app/3639440/...

No this isn't Forza Horizon 6 (looks just like it though right) - their cars can't even jump. HAHA LOSERS.

Hey, it's #PortfolioDay!

I'm Paula, Art Lead and Generalist Artist (3D + 2D) with 10+ years experience in the industry! I love working on stylised projects across the whole art pipeline. Available for work from February!✨

2D work 👇
Cosy bedroom scene, a couple of books on the floor as warm sunlight pours through the circular window. A black and white illustration of a dark wood forest. There is an entrance to a structure of some sort. You can see some eyes within. A black and white render of an abandoned temple with sunlight illuminating a small figure and beyond, a grand door that is tempting them to enter. A bright colourful illustration, a girl exiting a building to go explore the streets of Fenghuang in China.

Hand painted shield model for Dungeon Golf. Created in Blender, painted in Substance painter. 3D Froggy Food Cart! A frog chef cookin' up some tasty treats, bugs, chilli and garlic, on their wee froggy food cart. Super lowpoly island Seagulls Roost, showing a ship wreck, lighthouse. Made for a Sketchfab challenge with a very low poly count limit!
