Sometimes we post stuff because it's *just so satisfying* to watch on a loop. This is most definitely one of those occasions. "Tumble Tower" by digital artist Kinetic Graphics was made in Blender and heavily inspired by Javad Taba's abstract animation work. See more of their stuff here (https://lnkd.in/enADEGBj) and here (https://linktr.ee/smjty), respectively.

This is the latest from the 2.5D side-scroller action RPG indie "Mandragora", which has deep Metroidvania and Soulslike elements.

Find out more and wishlist it here: https://lnkd.in/e5VmZ2js.

Netflix senior environment artist Tyler Smith shared another beautiful scene made in Unreal Engine 5 on his ArtStation page. Tyler was looking to create something tranquil without heavy color saturation in "Lunar Moths" and we'd say he succeeded emphatically. See the full project and more of his beautiful work here: https://lnkd.in/ecR7XUCG.

Find out more and wishlist it here: https://lnkd.in/ef5eJqeq.

Prolific environment artist Maarten Hof created this "contained" (😅) gameplay space using Blender, Substance Designer/Painter, and Unreal Engine 5.

"Szrot", a "CaRPG" by indie developer duo Gustaw Mackay & Hjalte T., is a low-poly love letter to the cars and cultures of Eastern Europe.

You can find out more about the title and wishlist it here: https://lnkd.in/ekiy4z3Y. (There's also an active Discord you can join, too!)

“Pixel Window” from scientific designer Hakusi Katei is a prototype lens that uses no electricity to turn the real world into Minecraft. ⚡️ It can lower the resolution of scenery regardless of distance or movement. It can help create beautiful pixel art, or it can just be fun to play around with. You can keep up with its development on Hakusi's website: https://lnkd.in/eGDuQ96x.
