My first feature of the year explores the phenomenon of Quake Brutalist Jam for @theguardian.com, and how the FPS mapping community is keeping old-school level design alive. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

‘It’s the underground Met Gala of concrete murderzone design’: welcome to the Quake Brutalist Game Jam

screenshots of the startmap I built for qbj3 or Quake Brutalist Jam III some fancy bits in here will be in the coming update, like the paintings and plaques

Entombed in Concrete by @stickflip.bsky.social Really enjoyed this one. Very dark! Definitely had a scarier vibe than most in QBJ1.

I also made a map for it - "The Oppressing Facade". Thanks a ton to the QBJ3 team for making basically a new super polished and audiovisually stunning game. I can't stress enough how high the production value for it is!

Concrete Maxima, my entry to the Quake Brutalist Jam III #screenshotsaturday #quake #trenchbroom #leveldesign

Now i've played through every map in QBJIII (except the QBJR maps) I can safely say it's extremely good. Love most of the mechanical changes, new models, textures, ui work, sound design and a mountain of good maps from newbies and vets alike. Top shelf jam. Want to go back and play it all again.

super thrilled to finally release Quake Brutalist Jam 3! an absolutely insane amount of work was put into this pack, so much so that we decided to put together a standalone release, no purchase of Quake required! www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...

Quake Brutalism Jam 3 is now out!! new weapons and monsters across 77 modernist levels!!... this year there's also a 100% free "standalone" download available, no Quake purchase required!... thx to @frwthr.bsky.social and @makkon.bsky.social for organizing!! LINK: www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...

had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now! there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too! www.slipseer.com/index.php?re... this was a tremendous group effort, I couldn't be happier!

spoilers but here's everything I made for QBJ3 (so far)

I animated a couple enemies in here like the deathknight. Go check it out!

So excited to finally start Quake Brutalist Jam 3! We poured our hearts and souls into this project over the past 13 months. From a wild new weapon arsenal to a beautifully reimagined enemy roster, the QBJ3 mod is definitely one of the most ambitious Quake projects. www.slipseer.com/index.php?th...

qbj3 tar enemies got me acting up gawdddd

A bunch of sketchbook doodle pages from the last few days. Feels really good drawing on actual paper again, something I want to do WAY more of. Very out of practise, still feels a bit wonky, but getting back into the groove slowly feels nice.

maaan ozzy's gone. not exactly a "surprise" given his recent health but still unfortunate. the last few weeks have just further cemented him (and sabbath) in the annals of history imo. one massive final concert that raised ~$190m for charity and kicking the bucket a few weeks later is legendary shit

BREAKING: Krafton has delayed the highly anticipated game Subnautica 2 to 2026, potentially costing the development team a $250 million bonus. The studio's leadership had wanted to release the game this year but were ousted by Krafton last week. A wild story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

inept leadership *yet again* screwing over hard working developers. it's sickening how so many higher-ups can be this unprofessional; this exact same shitty scenario has happened so many times across the industry

we need to refocus our revenue on what really matters: building robots that bomb children

I dumped them all on youtube for people who like to see that sort of thing www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I also made a map for this - "Keen as Mustard"! Go and play the whole pack... if you dare.

I made a map for this! First one I've released in a while, actually. Had fun making it!

Quake Antigravity Jam has been released. Looks like a fun short pack to play having just 5 maps. www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...

happy pride

making double-sure this shit is not even remotely fair on Nightmare difficulty is involving some... unique solutions

Brutalist Jam 2 was already one of the biggest community projects in Quake history. This third one is going to be one of the biggest Quake mods, period.

"Why is Quake Brutalist Jam 3 taking so long?" animation is hard, okay?

god fucking damn it. do NOT have a sexual awakening from Latex Vore bro. what are you doing.

I will repost this again. The petition ends on the 17th of May, which happens to be my birthday. If you wanna give me a nice birthday present, just sign this, it's not hard.

wild how people just forgot to not believe everything you read on the internet. this developer's own portfolio site calls it a personal project lol the first half of the OG tweet is entirely fabricated from someone who didn't even read the text on the site and it's already being spread as fact

She lives! Got the new Hell Knight in-game, brought to life by @apnoiac.bsky.social's fantastic animations.

HE'S DOING HIS BEST

imo oblivion remastered is a strong reminder of how badly they dropped the ball with starfield. far too much focus on scale that they forgot to make an interesting world to explore, instead filling it with shallow procgen content that feels like it only exists to give purpose to systems that got cut

Paying artists cost money. But this icon doesn't! It's free to tell people you support human artists on your games and books. Supporting people matters to people! Make it easy for them tell!

dungeon crawler (but you make the dungeon)

to celebrate me finally kicking off my itchio store, I've published a new brush called Alien Bones. I've used this brush extensively in my own personal projects. like my hair curves brush, this is also free. makkon.itch.io/makkons-alie...

Quite the emotional rollercoaster today seeing FromSoftware announce Bloodborne 2 in all but name, finding out it's a Switch 2 exclusive, and then learning that it's an 8-player PvPvE game

the duskbloods looks cool, always nice to see new fromsoft games. very excited to see the constant begging for a remaster in 10 years

My latest video is live! It's a deep dive into the Forest of Fallen Giants of #DarkSouls2. There's a shockingly cohesive level design that survived a troubled development!

Not everyone is using it yet, but hoping an icon that says "definitely no ai was used" like an organic or fair trade tag starts to become the norm. Help folks filter out the garbage AI stuff. hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

A while back, I made a remake of a couple of Quake Champions maps for this one, Lockbox and Vale of Pnath, along with a bunch of original areas to tie them both together naturally. 🟦 Vale of Pnath 🟥 Lockbox 🟩 OG
