    1. I implemented Nvidia MotionBricks in Unity as a third person controller! It generates animations from key-frames in realtime using a tiny model on your PC! Planning to release it as an asset soon.
    2. DREAMFALL teaser
    3. After 6 brutal years, I have finally released my first game on steam!

    1. Tachyon Flow - Update #4: It's been months since I've posted on reddit, so here's some new gameplay/animation work since then...
    2. Sphere cannot be build from hexes, but game dev is magic
    3. I finally got the water to interact with the environment. The hose wraps around trees, the stream stops where it hits, and it pushes things around.
