Good level design @netflix.com

Ex-Xbox pals: We have some short to mid-length contract roles (VFX, Lighting, Cinematic Artist/Animator - all remote and in UE4) for Snap & Grab opening up. Email jobs at no goblin dotcom this week if doing cool crimes with us between jobs sounds fun.

Can’t wait for Alex Garland’s Elden Ring movie. I picture a scene years after its release. James Cameron, at the whiteboard. Execs shuffling in their chairs. Cameron scrawls “Elden Ring” on the board. Glances at the execs with a wry smile as he adds one more letter with a flourish - ELDEN RING$

My GDC talk about how we made the levels for Tactical Breach Wizards (and how pleasantly unusual / unusually pleasant it was to work on) is free to watch on the vault, here: gdcvault.com/play/1035209...

@jurie.bsky.social hey sorry we didn’t get to chat more! Was great running into you mate.

One of my favorite artists @nimasprout.bsky.social has a sale on a bunch of her original art right now: nimasprout.shop/collections/...

My favorite things to do in Avowed: -Run around -Jump up on things -Climbs things -Find hidden bits of loot and visual storytelling up on the high thing that I climbed -shoot wand I’m treating it like Mirror’s Edge meets Harry Potter and it’s great.

Loving Avowed. Such a nice place to hang out and exist in. And it’s great to be playing a big-tent release whose art direction is all about embracing the use of color. Deep hues, reds blues greens that are big and loud. Love it.

@wabbaboy.dev great work on FlyKnight! I’m a few hours in and it’s made my weekend. Can’t wait for more.

FlyKnight. GOTY? Taking a break from my Demon’s Souls replay to give it a shot and I’m in love.

If I were denis villeneuve id make sure we get a Dune Messiah trailer with a dramatic slowed down version of Spice up your Life

Clearly I’m not doing it right because I didn’t attach the image. Sometimes like a clueless old man on these internets.

Am I doing this right

Guess I loved this song more than I realized.

Still blows my mind that with HL:Alyx, valve shipped ALL of the map source files for the entire game. Wonder how something works in the SP campaign? You can just go load it up, and check out the scripting raw. It's sick.

@gongylusgames.bsky.social happy to tell you details about the sliding freezer doors from the Jeff chapter in Alyx. Such an interesting idea for a dissertation. Doors really are one of the gnarliest parts of game development.

@inquisitorales.bsky.social I hope you’re enjoying the response to the game. Congrats to you and the entire team. You should all be feeling the peak of pride! Great work.

How the hell did Stalker 2 get made? I’m floored. Such an incredible achievement. I’m gonna live in there for a while.

I like seeing Adam get some more recognition for Minerva: Metastasis. Some of the best Half Life ever made. I'm due for a replay. www.polygon.com/what-to-play...

Saturday Night. I adore this movie. This is what working on BioShock felt like at the best of times, just with more quiet time where we all sat at our desks and made stuff. If you make games, watch it, and then read the book too. m.imdb.com/title/tt2765...

Went to Portland. Saw an adult film being shot right there through a floor-to-ceiling apartment window over some shops. So much skin I couldn’t count the number of people. Honked my horn to a playful tune and got some real dirty looks. Think I ruined the shot. Oh well.

Have shifted to intense anger.

Canceling my NYT sub.

I don't know who needs to read this but: Don't worry, nearly everyone in video games is struggling right now. It's not just you. Even the big names are having sleepless nights. I have no magic answers for you, but it's at least nice to know we're all riding the same rough seas

I can't believe Half-Life 2 is 20... I owe a lot to this hugely inspiring game. Here's a fun little clip of me painting in VR in Water Hazard :)

worked very hard to pull off this magic trick in source one. happy birthday, half-life 2.

Half Life 2 has received a massive update that a bunch of people worked very hard on. My part was just in playing it a lot & pointing tiredly at bugs. The game is more relevant now in a bunch of ways that will surprise you. You know what I mean. store.steampowered.com/app/220/Half... F*** Breen.

Anyone got tips or a link with instructions for how to tear my data and tweets off of twitter and store them in a way that I can read them in the future?

There’s a sale on art from @nimasprout.bsky.social at the moment. I’ve got a bunch of her stuff throughout my house and it always makes me happy. Have even gotten stuff for my nieces and family and they love it too. Take a look. nimasprout.shop?mc_cid=2038c...

Desperately looking for indie game art and screenshots to smash that like button on.

Left the other place. Don’t have any excuses left for being there. Too sad to say anything here. Maybe one day.
