I've been playing video games since the 80s and liked drawing as kid, but I never thought about it being an option for me. Then this trailer came along -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K39UWxdm0U and for the first time I looked up where it was made and I realized that the industry wasn't that far away from where I've…
What are you using as reference for your lighting? You could be examining other games that have a similar style of play, and see how their art direction influences their lighting choices. Also learn about how lighting influences gameplay. https://80.lv/articles/learning-lighting-for-video-games/…
Making good effects is one of those things you can throw a ton of money on and you'll eventually get a ton of good stuff out of it. Making a good movie isn't as easy as that. Thus we get a ton of movies with tons of effects that aren't especially good. But again, it's not too many effects, it's not enough movie. The…
i've had at least 3 different versions of Star Wars on VHS since the 80s and they've all had different soundtracks. Aunt Beru having a totally different voice, dialogue changes ("it's secure"/"the doors locked"), SFX changes, and so on. i think it's ace that the films are still a living thing after nearly 35 years edit -…
Hi, guys! Personal project inspired by horror movies of 90's and 80's. This time, idea was to show some semi-abandoned hut where Chimera (main character) lives. He is the only one who had a chance to stay conscious in 250 miles of quarantined area. I will tell about him later. Now, I'm focused on quick environment ideas.…

I have the .TIF Files where they are merged and stitched together, too. And i have .TIF Picture Files from the Rest that i have posted Above. The .TIF Files have an…
I bet it would be an awesome helper effect if you were trying to make a scene look like its filmed on old VHS or something. I was speaking to an indi film maker friend about such effects and its surprising how hard it is to find ways to correctly get the old VHS look, without actual having to get a real VHS player and feed…
Yeah I wouldn't touch that if I wasn't 80% sure it was gonna be the next minecraft or something. it's quite easy to spot early on if a kickstarter campaign will be successful or not, no mediocre stuff ever get funded, it really has to be something that you see one pic of and it's an instant slam dunk, the game can be super…
just read the PC Gamer review, they gave it 80% which isn't bad at all. the reviewer -Dan Stapleton- had a few small gripes like auto-save (really guys? auto-save???) and unbalanced difficulty but thought it was goof overall. the closing paragraph was: Would Darkest of Days have benefited from nother $10 million worth of…
@Zalek4 thanks for the info! I'll have to check his Gumroad tut as some of the things he was talking about in that 80.lv article were a bit confusing without actually seeing it done. And what do you mean by using trim sheets is more geo-heavy? Wouldn't it be the opposite since you can use the trim sheet to get nice rounded…
