As I'm getting more and more into my personal game's production it's becoming clear to me in as early as the coming months I will want to start commissioning help.

I just need to make enough example material so that the help can easily do what they need to do. I don't have studio funding so gotta keep my production schedules lean, but I never want to pay an artist less than what they are worth.

Things I will have the most immediate needs are for #characterdesigners #modelers

#goals #gamedev

To start off the 1 paper per week challenge of this year, here is my #PaperOfTheWeek, or rather #PreprintOfTheWeek 😀

They present and evaluate a new one-layer dynamical model to improve the fine-scale representation of #melt patterns under #Antarctic #IceShelves. Interesting to see how this can be applied to improve future #SeaLevel projections!
Quite technical but interesting for #ocean and #IceSheet #modelers!

How climate models got so accurate they earned a Nobel Prize

#Climate #modelers are experts from #earth or planetary #science, often with experience in applied #physics, #mathematics, or #ComputationalScience, who take physics and chemistry to create equations, feed them into supercomputers, and apply them to simulate the climate of #Earth or other planets.
