Nothing resets my brain like a good sci-fi story. Stuck in traffic? Thinking about interstellar civilizations. Boring meeting? Wondering how first contact would actually go down. Sci-fi turns the mundane into a launchpad for possibility. 🚀 #EscapeVelocity #MindExpanding

Made some posters to decorate walls in Escape Velocity! Also because testing feedback indicated we needed to "Ant it up". They look flat because there's a generic "poster multi" in their material that applies folds, wear, and stains ingame (the third image is that "multi")
Stark black and white poster based on a notorious one by a chemical safety company. Text is as follows: "Itzu never wore his safety goggles. Now he doesn't need them." Image is an ant with a cane and glasses, indicating blindness. On the bottom is the logo for Volatile Solutions, the fictional company at the center of Escape Velocity's setting and plot. A slogan is attached: "Safety is our secret ingredient" A slightly more colorful poster. "Your starter is your friend!" There is an ant hugging a weird purple gun. A little red heart between them. This gun is the starter mentioned in the poster text. Below it is a Volatile Solutions logo with a slogan: "Trust is our secret ingredient". Multipurpose map for the ant posters. Like a lot of multis, each color channel does a different thing. R is a "roughness" map. G is a "diffuse" black-and-white color map that's re-tinted in-engine. B is a heightmap. The alpha is used for transparency. Wham. Lots of detail in a single texture. an ingame look at the posters

I figured out a message system for #EscapeVelocity!

Here's a video of it. All text is temporary and doesn't reflect at all the tone we'll be going with, just needed something contextual to work on triggers:

Only on Mastodon can you post an Angela Davis quote on how just not being racist won't cut it and that you need to be anti-racist and some cracker will hit you with...

"oh but that's reverse racism 🤓👆🏻"
Reply from EscapeVelocity: Anti-racist = Anti-White racism. Promoting these haters isnt advancing humanity to a better place. It's just hatred masquerading as justice.

Another #EscapeVelocity thing:

I'm prototyping one of the final levels and I'm having a hell of a lot of fun tuning this little destructible track

I miss that convention, it was a great time.
A person dressed as The One Electronic from the Novel/ Webcomic Rice Boy. The cosplayer is in dark blue trenchcoat with white gloves, and a mirror like head that has an eye and part of a hand on the image inside of it.

beneath a night sky lit by a purple aurora, a ton of cannons point at eachother via laser lines and go just about everywhere. the level itself is a ton of greybox plinths on a lake, with mountains visible in the distance

A space ship just arrived from transitting a jump gate with a nearby asteroid and a number of other asteroids off the screen as radar blips.

Controller support is coming today! Well, most of it. It's a little buggy on terminals but works everywhere else.

Here's your control scheme. Next week I'll be adding in a more...erm, professional looking glyph to the "options" menu

But for now uh. print this out I guess

Reminder to everyone: If a web page asks you to open PowerShell or press the windows key and "R" it is not a quick fix, it is not an urgent patch. It's a burglary where you open the door and let the criminal in. Don't fall for it. (from a LinkedIn post by the CEO of EscapeVelocity)
