I've been feeling something weird and bad going on in the gaming industry, and I don't think it's slowing down. I keep getting proven right, so I made a video about it.

Video very very soon. Stay tuned

Usually I talk about things I think are cool. Not exactly, this time

Some shots of vehicles I designed for Marathon. One ended up in the animated short and the others are in game. Once again, huge thanks to the world art and palette team for taking my work and pushing it 💙

The thing that I initially loved about Marathon's artstyle was that it finally brought some COLOR back to scifi.

Alpha vs 2026 comparisons

If you're gonna try out Marathon today, remember a couple things: This is not Tarkov or ARC or whatever else, it doesn't play the same. Learn the game's own mechanics. You don't have a safe container. Think, expect death, learn from your mistakes, and you'll have fun

SO…Bungie invited me to the studio to see how different Marathon LOOKS now, visually. Or, does it? Looking closely at the details of the graphics side of Bungie’s shooter, through some artistic discussion, and HUD-OFF gameplay of maps Outpost, Perimeter, and Dire Marsh.

CAIRN has been phenomenal so far. It does something many games have tried: taking a real, physical activity most games reduce to a single button press (climbing) and makes it the entire game, in a way that feels infinitely replayable.

Legendary hallway from ROUTINE's 2013 reveal trailer, recorded by Lunar Software in 2026 for my video. Still would love to just stand in this space myself one day

Having Lunar Software record new footage of the 10+ year old UE3 version of ROUTINE for my video was such a crazy moment for me as a long time follower. Some locations like this section of the living quarters really display the old game's more 70s-inspired art direction.

💥NEW VIDEO TODAY💥 Discovering what's behind the mysterious development of a game revealed 13 years ago, and what it all means now that it's here, with the help of the devs themselves; this is what a passion project looks like. A very special video for me. Sit back and enjoy!

I'll be honest and say I think this is my best video ever, or certainly one of the most meaningful to make. Tomorrow 🌙

This morning, @witdarkstar.bsky.social reminded me of a story I haven’t shared here. Starting from my time at 343, I’d go out to lunch or to the bathroom and come back to find a little container of coffee creamer on my desk with “cream of the crop” written in sharpie on top. I could never figure out

I spent a whole day crafting this 20 second sequence and you guys better well enjoy it!!! (Video is coming very soon) 🌴

This is my most interacted post of all time. Should I make a video on this topic?

Going far more cinematic than usual for this next video. The subject matter deserves it. stay tuned 🌺

My favorite unused alternate thumbnails of 2025:

2025 was a rollercoaster, but I want 2026 to be about HUMAN connection - meeting more friends, talking to artists and game devs, and exploring new places. Oh, and I need to draw more. Happy New Year! 🌟 Cheers and see you soon - Riloe

Over the last couple weeks, I've had the insane privelege of speaking with Lunar Software about the development and design of ROUTINE - from 13 years ago to today. Playing the game was an amazing experience, and learning what went into it even more so. Stay tuned!! 🌙🌙🌙

ROUTINE will stick with me for a long time. There's much more to say, but Lunar Software should be very proud of this beautiful little work. It's something special🌺

I would do anything for him

The 26th Century... It is an age of augmented infantry and existential war...

💥NEW VIDEO TODAY💥 A year later, let's take a look at how this trendy genre has developed. Sit back, enjoy, and see if you agree with my (hot?) takes one of my favorite subjects.

Video tomorrow.

I love seeing style sheets like this from artists and I wish people did it more Drawing by me, from a recent video

For all my art homies, especially people into concept art and character design, this one is for you. DEEP dive into the character art of the Forever Winter and it's lineage going back decades.

Looks nice there I think 🐛 #Marathon
