Time for a fresh pinned Tweet! Hi! I’m Jordan, Electrical Substation designer by day, game designer and fan artist by night. Currently making an RTS game and likely making more fan art! Here’s some of my recent work!

doing some flight model tuning for the F-99 rather agile

I'M OPEN FOR WORK

The big difference between Halo and Gears of War from that era is that Halo is "timeless" while Gears of War is "dated in the best possible way". GoW and its marketing are this perfect time capsule for 2006-2010.

I was the product marketing manager for @GearsofWar 2. We did zero focus testing on the ads. The team was locked in together. Total trust in each other and in what we were making. Taste and confidence.

Dunno, looks like Wardogs, heavily inspired by ARMA KOTH to me.

I was keeping this secret but its starting to make the rounds. The store page for the CE demo isn't locked down and anybody with a link can download it. Its probably gonna be taken down soon. Use an alt account so you don't get banned. xbox.com/en-us/games/store/h…

I love looking back at the old projects I was doing back in 2019/2020.

SpaceX still has some catching up to do.

Young students really need to internalize this. When I was in high school I had a teacher explain to me getting a job in 3D is like a sports draft. Some years there is just going to be really fierce competition other years you'll get lucky and be in a limited interview pool. 1/7

ZeroSpace is officially bringing the fight to Steam #NextFest, and the Galactic War is about to begin. Play our new Demo on June 15! store.steampowered.com/app/1…

weight painting textures is the end of the video game industry. sorry all.

RTS Map Editor I've been messing around with Steel Command's (link in bio) map editor and figured I'd share some snapshots. I know I programmed it, but the available tools feel REALLY good to use. The bridges were all created using the 3D modeling tool, and it took me no time at all to throw them together. I'm also extremely happy with the UI. I can't even imagine the amazing maps the community will make. #RTS #RTSGame #IndieGame

Hi. Student from 2015-2019 here, Game Arts and Design Degree, spare time indie dev and 3D Designer by trade. Henning's right. It's not privileged. It's the harsh reality of an utterly shit industry that's gone through 40k layoffs in since I finished my degree. The reality he's giving you is that the industry will only take on the best of the best. and to do that, you need to live and breath your art. He isn't "Blaming the student" as you've somehow worked out, you've just taken offence to being told a reality. When I finished my degree at a sub-par level, I got a job in a warehouse and then spent 3 hours a day, every day, just modelling. I stopped trying to get into the industry because realistically, it's not feasible to live a comfortable life when you've got a house, car and family to pay for when going in at an entry level, minimum wage. Though the time I spent learning, proved to the electrical infrastructure industry that I was good at 3D modelling and had the drive to learn. I'm not saying that 3D students don't have a right to be angry at the industry, we're all angry at the industry, trust me. But targeting an individual because he's giving realistic advice (advice I was also told by Halo Wars Artists back in 2016) is moronic. My advice to 3D artists for the last 7 years has been to not do a degree if you want to do 3D art as a job. Just get started as soon as possible and make sure you love it. Paying £30000-£50000 for an art degree is this economy simply just isn't worth it. It's not worth paying off your student loans (above minimum payments) until you're earning £85k a year Art is a passion, it's an expression of self, an interpretation of what you see. It's a wonderful thing we can all do and unfortunately, it's been oversaturated with talent for 15 years.

French Played TOO MUCH Red Alert 2.

I can’t wait to play this next year. One little thing I’d want to see though: NPC will apparently react to your wealth and actions etc. What I don’t want to see though is having every single NPC having unfiltered and perfect understanding of how much money you have and items you own. NPCs should find out how much you have by how much money you spend around town, how you look, who knows you, how many tenants you have and through conversations you have with NPCs. You should have the option of being a secret millionaire etc but also face the consequences of deception if found out. Can’t wait to see how they implement things

There's going to be a BANGER of a game trailer in the next few years that breaks the norms, gets immensely hyped due to it but can't follow up the hype.

RTS Map Editor Navigation Tool 🧭 The 'navigation visibility' toggle is an amazing tool that helps us create the best maps possible straight from the in-game map editor. Without it, I'd have to constantly stop the project and verify things from the engine side. WITH it, I can easily see where my units can or cannot go with a simple button press. Correctly aligning this bridge was easy (also created using the in-game 3D modeling tool 😎). Check out Steel Command RTS! (Link in bio) #RTS #RTSGame #IndieGame

You could be reading 5000 words about the Real Time Tactics genre of games, right now. Just, you know, letting you know.

No one tell this guy about Arma 3 JTAC servers. Blokes over there gurgle when they die
