I'm really proud of our team at FarBridge – we shipped Homeworld: Vast Reaches, the deep-space strategy game, on SteamVR! There's a free demo and even a new mode to try. We *also* updated the Meta Quest version with the new mode! Kudos y'all! homeworldvastreaches.com

Did you know that Richard Rouse III and Andre Maguire from FarBridge worked on the horror classic game, The Suffering? 😱 It’s been over 20 years since the game's release, but it still receives praise online to this day. Learn more in our Q&A! https://t.co/v7X8F5zVDr

I've been quiet on social media lately, mostly busy with work and family and real-life, but I'm definitely feeling a lil out of the loop with my friends in the industry. There's so much change going on, and it feels like a good time to just reach out and catch up! If you wanna do so, lemme know!

If you're into scifi, horror, pixel art, and indie games, check out my pals' new game "What the Stars Forgot"! They're doing a crowdfund to get across the finish-line! #indie #gamedev #scifi #horror […]

Famous last words: I think I have my social media muted-words-list finely tuned to get through the next few weeks.

[email protected] and I first bonded over our belief that games can not only entertain, but inspire, inform, and educate! He's smelted that conviction into Political Arena, a video game that accurately simulates American politics! Now in early access: store.steampowered.com/app/1670920/...

I'm really excited to voice input front-and-center in this new VR game! Check out the trailer!!!

Reminder: tomorrow is April Fool's Day, don't trust anything on the internet.

I’ve watched a couple episodes of Yellowjackets and I’m intrigued… but I’ve been burned by TV shows before. Do they know what they’re doing? You tell me! #yellowjackets docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! In this #GoodCommunity installment, we uplift and celebrate the next generation of women in gaming and tech by spotlighting organizations that provide resources or programs to empower individuals of marginalized genders 👏 farbridge.com/news/blog/go...

Back from GDC and trying to remember how normal life works. It was wonderful seeing so many pals at the show... but I can't shake the feeling that I could have filled another week just catching up with folks. So give a shout if you want to have a call!

Cool to see our long-lost Marvel games being shared and talked about. The “MGU” was one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on, and made some lifelong friends along the way! www.ign.com/articles/the...

Ready to take on Day 2 at #GDC2025! If you see the FarBridge Away Team, feel free to say hi 👋 @richardrouse.bsky.social, @patrickmcurry.bsky.social & @tallgamer.bsky.social

I cracked into my secret stash to bring two of the best game controller of all time to GDC for demos. #gdc #gdc2025

Heading to #GDC next week? Don’t miss our Studio Creative Director Richard Rouse III’s annual “Rules of the Game” session next Thursday at 3:30pm. The session will feature a cohort of experienced game designers, each of whom have shipped amazing games! schedule.gdconf.com/session/rule...

I'm so excited to be speaking at the Game Developers Conference next week! I'll be giving talks and on panels about game writing, cinematics, and trailers. #gdc2025

FarBridge CEO @patrickmcurry.bsky.social, with Andrea Silvers of Skydance Games, Rodrigo Terra of @arvoreimmersive.bsky.social, and Paul Raphael of Felix & Paul Studios inc., at #SXSW for the "Molding IP Into Cinematic Experiences For Virtual Reality" session earlier today.

The problem with social media is that other people read what you post. And that’s only if you’re doing it right.

Making software is difficult. Making software on the Internet requires arcane magic and even with the perfect incantations things go wrong exactly when you don't want them to. https://patrickcurry.com/boatsontheocean/

Here's a link to a rare interview with one of Maine's own stealthy game geniuses. If you haven't heard of Alex Irvine, I wouldn't be surprised. But if you haven't played or read something from him I would be! Check it out! #games #writing

I've learned (and I am still learning) how to run a game studio for the last seven years doing both creative and biz. Here's a list of guidelines that work for us and might be useful for others that were lessons I've incorporated with our experience and guidance from others. 🧵

I fell back on one of my favorite debugging practices: I used a tiny one-scene Unity project and made a bunch of different builds with different options and ran it from multiple different locations on the hard-drive. It's much easier to make and copy a 100mb project around than a 2gb project! […]

Hey #unity and #unity3d #gamedev experts, want a puzzle to solve on a Friday night? Is this a bug or am I crazy?! https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@patrickmcurry/114045949522419943

We get on here talking about game dev and making our dreams come true. Take a moment and look at the human next to you who has supported you, loved you or given you advice and thank and hug them. Someone I knew past away recently, I was lucky enough to hug and laugh with them one last time at DICE

Whatever darkness you're facing, you can handle it. 💪 #tunic

Gonna keep working to make our little games. Not prioritizing or aiming for growth. Just trying to make enough to make the next thing while our team lives well. Radical approach, I know.

remember to drip your faucets take care of your outdoor plants before it gets cold tonight. And remember to remind your spouse before he gets too comfy. It’s me. I’m the comfy spouse.

I wish there is a way on here to mute someone’s literal face. I don’t need to see that shitty coup guy’s face.

Sharing this cool level blockout I made for quake. I'm pretty proud of it. I'm still looking for a level design position. Please let me know if you have any leads. I really appreciate it. Have a good week! #quake #leveldesign #boomershooter #gamedevjobs #gamedesign

I think it's time for my annual rewatch of Old Henry...

Terrible news. Viktor Antonov was a true visionary

I'm dabbling with Bluesky feeds and you can make some cool stuff. Here are a couple I've made so far: Posts about Doom, the video game series: bsky.app/profile/did:... Posts about Quake, the lost cousin to Doom: bsky.app/profile/did:... #doom #quake #bluesky #feeds #gamedev

I spent most of my time in meetings, but the vibe at DICE 2025 was surprisingly upbeat this year. Had some really inspiring and off the cuff conversations… and most importantly saw lots of friends who still love making games. #gamedev

The FarBridge Away Team has arrived in Las Vegas for #DICE2025 👋 We’re in the midst of talking with publishers and investors about our current projects, but if you’re looking for new games to bring to market, hit us up! #gamedevs #gamestudio

Holy crap I found one of my favorite game prototypes! It's not technically special, but I had so much fun figuring out how to reuse the Starcraft sprites to make lil marines animate and walk around. The idea was to make a real-time strategy game for iPhone! #gamedev #starcraft #rts #iphone

I've been inspired by @gregpak to centralize more of my work on my own minimalist website. Today I put a bunch (but not all) of my nonfiction writing and blog posts on this one page! Check it out for a bunch of #gamedev and #startup musings. https://patrickcurry.com/blog/posts/ 👈

I have a piece up in WRITER'S DIGEST about adapting comics to prose, in honor of my BLOODSHOT novel debuting this week. Check it: www.writersdigest.com/write-better...

I'm so backed up on email it's not even funny. Trying to get through it y'all. In the meantime holler if you're going to DICE and wanna chop it up!

Places I’m compelled to port Doom… I’m sure some have been done before: - Godot engine - Unity engine - Quake 1 engine - Original Game Boy - Apple Watch #doom #gamedev
