Let me introduce you to Drew's Campfire's channel, about elusive and interesting science and math concepts. ✨ Their video on the chaotic nature of double pendulum features some REALLY good animations! 😎

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

My documentary about the World Generation of #Minecraft has reached 2M views. For a small channel like mine, this feels such a big achievement. ✨ Thank you so much for all the love and support! 🤗

GUYS IT'S REAL!!!

It's undeniable that the "Creatures" series had a massive impact on many of the young kids who played it. 🐻 In case you missed this forgotten gem from the late 90s, the best way to describe it is a "Tamagotchi on steroids". 🐣 But if you want to learn more, stick with me for this thread! 🧵👇

Remember the AI / copyright consultation? I'm having dinner with one of its principle authors on Friday. What should I say to them? Bear in mind, they aren't responsible for govt policy, but are involved in its execution, and they can frame how the response to the consultation is received.

New year, new tutorial. Can you guess what I'm working? 🤓

Back when I joined Twitter, in 2011-2012, I felt hopeful and full of energy. Tweeting was a real pleasure, and I wanted everyone to see what I was working on. Social media did not feel like a "job" to me, but like a way to connect with like-minded people and gamedev enthusiasts.

10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated: I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.
