definitely the most flexible and magical level design tools I've ever used! @2darray.bsky.social is a 3d math genius

Every year I submit WCW vs NWO Revenge and every year I’m knocked back.

Spielberg making alien movies just for me.

Making money in my level design job so I can support my hobby of level designing my wee WoW hoose.

My guild set up in Razorwind Shores…

Wee bit of baking and a wee bit of Battlefield for Thanksgiving. 🦃

DCs Absolute series continues to be outstanding. The panels in Martian Manhunter are gorgeous.

TODAY IS THE DAY

Fuckin love bein Scottish. Dont give me hope, just despair. Make everything shite. Forever. The feelin you get when you get that rare win, that’s what it’s aw aboot. It’s a lifetime of sorrow for that one good day. Class.

Detachable saucer section

Saw this Youtube thumbnail that made me chuckle. Sounds like a good title for a talk about faking player agency in a linear game. Credit Alius on YT. #gamedesign

Power lines extra buzzy tonight in LA, gonnae take a wee walk

I will never forgive Sony for giving me that free copy of MLB The Show

I saw this one cover and got all the Absolute comics.

#Blocktober picking up massively on Blue Sky year on year, which is nice.

The Indie Horror Showcase, which I helped put together, is tomorrow! 6pm BST for UK folks. In the course of putting the showcase together I have wishlisted a dozen games, not including the games I was already excited for which appear. So please come see our hard work and discover cool new games

Ever walk through the level you're designing backwards and think its actually better? #gamedev

I'm helping with level design on @sleightofhand.game ... the idea of this stealthy trainyard map is to contrast compact metro stations vs. long train tunnels vs. platforms where you duck into / beneath carriages #blocktober

*scottishly* That’s yer bubble burst

That’s me yer World Design Director at Naughty Dog. Wha’s world? Meh world. Your world. OOR world. 🤝

The battlefield music is intense I’ve never felt so pumped about compiling shaders before

Going into BIOS to change a setting for one video game is exactly what I love about PC gaming. Make me feel like an engineer. While we’re at it why not put a thermal paste replacement guide up there.

Rolled a 99

Awrite Bluesky folks. Mostly reposting on here this #Blocktober but still keeping an eye on the other place. Very cool seeing people kicking it off so strongly here already. ❤️ #gamedev #leveldesign

Being someone who started in game dev thanks to modding (Unreal Tournament!) modders always have my support and respect. Big news today of the sun setting of @hekili.bsky.social which helped WoW become accessible to millions of players. Glad to see so many recognising their years of work!

Made a wee batch of mornin rolls cos I found proper bacon in LA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Looking forward to this year, had a few folk reach out and say how happy they were to see this on bsky. 🧡

It's just one entire GTA game from scratch, including the engine. How long could it take?

Every week is a banger who is scoring this show??

I wrote a piece for the Guardian games newsletter this week on my PhD research into preserving play experiences, and why I think that the most archaeological games are those that that actually make you *think* like one 🏺 www.theguardian.com/games/2025/s...

Why do I feel like the bits of Alien Earth I love the most are probably the bits getting criticised in some popular YouTubers video essay.

“Michael you’re from Dundee, right?” - total coin flip as to what comes next when I hear this at work.

Alien Earth LOOKS so good. How does it look so good? It looks better than a lot of movies these days. How did this happen? It need details.

Constructed in and launched from Dundee 💙

Showing children of the future the unacceptable hair rendering on the left to explain why we had to get rid of the rainforest.

youtu.be/s-0brgSYDEM?... Someone out there is trying to send me a message via this extremely niche game targeted directly at me.

Beat a boss in Expedition 33 by just parrying and I feel…

Dropped the remote and it went under the couch

I have to own the Alliance varsity jacket for legal reasons.

Star Wars Galaxies was so ahead of its time. Imagine the content we’d be getting in the era of Twitch roleplaying communities. Bring it back!

My favourite game right now is “watching ‘1000 Players Simulate Civilisation’”

Renewed my website domain incase I ever get the courage to have an opinion about game development in public again.
