we're doing an additional interview podcast every week now. For my first, I talked to @jasonschreier.bsky.social about how and why the video game business has changed so much in recent years www.404media.co/the-video-ga...
The Video Game Industry’s Existential Crisis (with Jason Schreier)
Video games are more popular than ever, but many of the biggest companies in the business seem like they are struggling to adapt and convert that popularity into stability and sustainability.

This is so disappointing. Some poor decisions at Microsoft.

I’m worried about what the purchase of EA will mean for the Sims and the future of the game industry in the U.S. in general. I think @lilsimsie.bsky.social really sums it up well…

Full timelapse of the abandoned warehouse level design block out is up on youtube! This time I did the music for it too. I kind of rushed myself with the music so it loops a lot, but it’s nice to use all my own content this time :)

Part 3 of the abandoned warehouse level blockout I’m working on. Its finally a warehouse! I’m also starting to improve how I record these videos to reduce my time editing out jerky camera moves. This one is also a bit longer than previous versions, so zone in and enjoy!

Part 2 of my abandoned warehouse level design blockout. I realized as I was editing this how much jerkiness there is as I move the camera around, so I took extra time to edit out all the camera movements. It took way too long, but I hope you enjoy!
