Hey lovely person! 💘

I'm sorry for not sending out more newsletters lately. I'm a bit distracted for personal reasons. But today is a HUGE day! The studio I'm working for has released its first game. 🚀🚀🚀

We released our first game! You play as a baby boar! 👶🐗

If you can, it would be super-duper-awesome if you could buy, play and review it. And/or tell your baby-boar-loving friends!

Thanks SwingBill for sharing this VFX Style Guide on my discord server! This is also a good opportunity to mention (again) the amazing VFX style guides from League of Legends and Sparkball.

I really like the Godot and it's a pleasure to see, that the famous Brackeys made a video about VFX for this engine!

Tuatara Games made VFX for Hunt: Showdown to represent how I feel during summer here in the south of France.

Also, good opportunity to mention again the good old burning orcs. Turn sound on!

Thanks Sweetoon for sharing this breakdown on my discord server! 

In Unreal one should disable World Position Offset in the distance to save performance. But this results in a *plop* when the mesh returns in its non-deformed state. 
This tutorial explains how to smoothly fade by making use of Primitive Data instead of using a custom value for defining the fade distance.

Super fascinating breakdown how to prepare the character meshes in Titan Quest 2 to easily hide bodies parts when they are covered by cloth/armour.

Great article on how to make a game feel responsive - it's not "just" about getting timing right.

The key to art is using keys. :D

Have a lovely day and if you try our game, I hope you'll love it! 🌞
