Really gutted to see the news from Sumo. Such a lot of talent and so many great and kind people at all the studios. Thinking especially today of my amazing former colleagues at The Chinese Room.

Quitting the Skinner Box that is World of Tanks once again. Not sure why I ever went back. Playing well (or having a good game by chance, perhaps a better scenario) is a great dopamine rush but not worth the time investment and obsession.

Mostly detached from EVE nowadays but this is a hypnotic video, showing one of the largest groups of players in the game moving just a fraction of their ships and assets across the game world. Multiple millions of dollars of assets, built up over 20 years.

was just reminded of rational level design and while i understand why it exists, it's gotta be one of the most rancid and toxic design methodologies to formalize and worm its way into education and smaller teams. this is shit dreamed up by metrics ghouls at AAAA studios, fuckin quit it

Wrote a .mel script for the first time in about 12 years - the muscle memory of “space bar = cycle tools” from Unreal was unbreakable, so I had to recreate the behaviour in Maya. And it works! I am invincible!

A series of environment graphics I created for the survival horror video game Still Wakes the Deep, which is set aboard an oil rig in the North Sea in 1975.
I believe it was released in the last few days.
