An old Lina Inverse from Slayers fanart I did quite some time ago! Did it as an art trade with a friend :D Remember being happy about it being rather quick to draw and paint!

Releasing Monday, Dec. 8th!

Been looking forward to this! Perhaps answers the exciting question of what a new action adventure game descended from Xanadu, Ys, Hydlide, etc., instead of Zelda feels like?

Two weeks to Angeline Era releasing! Been nervous about the release but very happy that testers are enjoying searching for levels across its overworlds, as well as the bumpslash combat and story!

You’ll Be OK
"I'm havin a breakdown," says one crudely-drawn stick figure to another. "You'll be OK," says the second. The first stick figure exclaims, "AGGHHH", and collapses. His head and outstretched arms and legs spell out the letters O-K.

This is, possibly, the worst advice on how to get a level design job I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t so much read as something written by someone who’s never worked in dev, more like someone whose parents were killed in a freak level design accident, and they vowed never to place a trigger volume again

2 years and 8 months since LUNARK came out. Hard to believe.
I spent 4+ years mostly solo on this project - rotoscoping, coding, composing the OST - and your support made the difference! Thank you for playing my little cinematic-platformer tribute 🥰

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time.

The best gift you can give yourself is to have fun and grow.

There's something delightfully scrunchy about 320x200 DOS Quake.

My love affair with playing SVGA-era DOS games at VGA resolutions continues.
A snap of Shareware Quake being played at 320x200 with lots of crunchy pixels and polygons, glowy particles everywhere

Really love the script for Last Crusade. Great read here.
dhanendran.co.uk Anthony Dhanendran @dhanendran.co.uk · Jul 2
Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

It's well worth your time: www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Learning from Stoppard By Mike Fitzgerald, June 13, 2016 Comparing two drafts of a script can be hugely instructive, revealing point-by-point how a writer went about improving the story. When I stumbled upon an earlier draft of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I discovered a dazzling, glittering trove of lessons as nourishing as eternal life itself. Well, nearly so. Last Crusade was written by Jeffrey Boam, from a story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes. So say the opening credits. Boam’s final draft, dated March 1, 1988 (ten weeks before production) differs drastically from the published script which reflects the released version of the film. Differences come as no shock, but with Last Crusade they aren’t just a few deleted scenes and some line changes. Whole sections of the Boam draft were reimagined, major set pieces were added, and the pacing and tone were markedly transformed. Whoever made these changes possessed a profound grasp of story craft.

Your employees probably didn't scoop bits of shampoo out of unrelated creators' bottles to fill their own though.

(and then keep emptying it out and redoing that until they actually liked the smell of it)
