Thought I'd do a little re/introduction post as I've not been active for a while, but the vibes here are so good!
HELLO - I'm Bill. You may remember me from "Before", that low-poly caveman game from 2014.
Since then I've had 3 kids and worked on ROLLERDROME at Roll 7 ❤️.
Now making new things! 👨🍳

Some other angles. The lighting has been in all sorts of different states so it's kind of between looks atm. Been bouncing around colours trying to echo the look of 70s pulp sci-fi and films like Outland. But I feel I ended up drifting too far away from brutalism.

Published my new texture pack, Urban Decay. This on is non-Quake and my first paid texture pack - 50% off for the next 3 days. (If you're only interested in the freebies don't worry, there's more Quake-like texture packs coming around the corner).

Love this from the EA marketing team! Tasteful, understated and 100% necessary to stick talking heads in front of bombed out middle-eastern streets like some creepy AI generated news report. Love to talk about our cool new video game in front of a burning hospital or whatever! Yay Battlefield!

AI slop everywhere, more layoffs, and that Unity news, but this is truly a next level of fucked! Can we all just use Godot, Ubuntu, Blender, and erm.... Gimp? I just want to make stuff and not feel awful about it.
I hate to post this today, with all the news, but the genocide goes before all. Microsoft confirms it is supporting the genocide with AI tech. Israel never does anything but hurt Palestinians in Gaza, so "it's not used to harm Palestinians" is bullshit.

If you work in games in the uk, you’ve already worked with @darbotron.bsky.social. Responsible for a big chunk of our console ports and a lot of the code base, but more importantly a guru and teacher to the team. Darbs is irreplaceably smart and generous of spirit. When I grow up, I wanna be Darbs.

Ooh, another real innovation of genAI is that it allows executive to bypass creative when making decisions about branding, imagery, signalling and message.
This means no-one will be stopping executive from putting their fucking shite ideas into life.
I think this is actually fucking great.
