Nino Filiu

Spent months solo-developping Fideism, an art game questionning our assumptions about faith. Premiered at the @amazefest.bsky.social Shop-Gallery this year, here is a short vid showcasing my artistic vision and the bespoke VR mechanic I coded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIU_...

At some point this will be a cave, but this WIP halfway out of greyblocking makes it look like a MoMA installation #liminalspace #devlog

Working on a VR game about faith and the sublime called Fideism.

Spent a few hours fighting with UE5.7 to support metahumans in VR. Fixed hairs and made lumen work. Yay! forums.unrealengine.com/t/vr-templat...

Staggered curated as one of the 100 pieces to explain art games by Sidequest!!! substack.com/home/post/p-...

I finally made my first video clip, it's for a trashy metal trap producer called Roach, I completely glitched out some wrestling footage I found online, proud of me on this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MQr...

My latest game Anemoia got its first letsplay :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvz0...

The Gaea+UE+PCG combo is crazy. 10mn env design research

"Comfort Me" exhibition views , May 2025. A Distraction collective exhibition at Panke.gallery for @amazefest.bsky.social 🫂 As a hug to the gaming community, we presented COMFORT ME, a tender video game show about characters you just want to hold in your arms.

We also were invited to talk with Marie Jannin ( from@sickhouse-nl.bsky.social) to "celebrate the serendipitous friendships and shared obsessions that fuel their practice."👭🧑‍🤝‍🧑👬 🧑‍🤝‍🧑👬 👭 Thread photo credits : Jens Keiner, Distraction members, Mary Audrey Ramirez and yo252yo :)

The show also featured: Jonathan Coryn, @corjn.bsky.social , Caress simulator Vincent Moulinet, @moulsssss.bsky.social, R.O.T. stands for Realm of Tears and the Stinky helm of brainrot (made with Circé Lac) Mélanie Courtinat, The Siren +Love Pillow Nino Filiu, @ninofiliu.com, Sacrifice

thx for the support (^０^)ノ

My first shipped project - ASTRA - directed by Eliza McNitt and produced by Atlas V has been quite successfull for mixed-reality : 400+ reviews and ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars on the Meta Quest store, not bad for a narrative-driven project! www.meta.com/en-gb/experi... But you know what impress me even more?

I made a game exploring the effect of nostalgiacore on false memories, it's free and lasts about 5mn :) ninofiliu.itch.io/anemoia #indiegame #artgame #liminalspace

Made this in 5mn in Unity with Gaea, Polyhaven, and HDRP fog, can't wait to teach the workflow ^^

Coded my first UE plugin that creates materials from AmbientCG in 5s rather than 5mn of manual process! Already got a few purchases and many positive feedbacks. Happy! fab.com/listings/358... #UnrealEngine #ue5 #fab #gamedev

On nov 6th & 7th I'll give a worldbuilding workshop in Unity at @stereolux.bsky.social 🧑‍💻✴️ learn more stereolux.org/agenda/works...

Quite impressed by the shear exactitude and relevance of this article by Matteo Bittanti about this history and vision of our Distraction Collective www.patreon.com/posts/from-a... (on patreon, but free to read)

My latest game Staggered has a happy ending, but you can also chose to run away from your shadow endlessly #indiedev #artgame #devlog

In my latest game Staggered, there is an anthracite-textured clone of your player character that walks towards you - slowly, but constantly. Inspired by Carl Jung's "shadow", the choice is yours to either face it or run away from it. #indiedev #artgame #devlog

Image from Staggered, my latest video game made during Residence Evil III ninofiliu.com/staggered #indiedev #artgame #devlog

Used @vanilagy.bsky.social 's Mediabunny in supermosh.github.io for rendering. Perf gain for most devices (6s -> 0.3s for this video), but most importantly since I don't rely on the live <canvas> recording anymore, the output is deterministic & the same for all devices. Many ppl asked for this :)

pausing all projects to focus on blender renders that could have been ur cool cousin's wallpaper in 2009

bro i love being a 3d artist sometimes my screen looks like this and i just pause for a while to appreciate the view of the landscape kinda

UE5.6 allowed for crazy updates on metahuman body customizations but also completely fucked nanite landscapes, not sure if that was a net positive on the production of my upcoming animation short

Just finished @farfama.bsky.social 's "The Light Of Our Yearning", what a beautiful short poetic experience-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
