Just got this - time to oversalt some fries. I'm clearly in my Bullfrog nostalgia phase. #retrogaming #gaming #dosgaming

Dungeon Keeper's sound design is so memorable. I can hear this screenshot in my head so clearly. #dungeonkeeper #gaming #retrogaming #dos

#BehindTheScenes RoboCop (1987)

One of the people who just received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry started out at Bullfrog and worked as a games designer, first on Syndicate and later on designing and programming Theme Park. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demis_H...

Syndicate made me fall in love with cyberpunk at age 10. I loved the design of the agents, the cities, and the clown cars. #retrogaming #gaming #pcgaming #videogames #dosgaming

I know there's a lot of jank in this, but I wanted to get some feedback on this version of the Ultima VII intro. Do the angle changes work? Or should the angle be static the whole time?

Before Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, we had NASA's Virtual Interface Environment Workstation (VIEW)

Syndicate/Syndicate Wars remain some of my favourite games of all time. Long hours spent in my bedroom, lying on the floor next to my Amiga late at at night, playing them. Felt truly atmospheric doing it that way, with the rest of the house silent and sleeping.

We need more ellipsoid indie games. Doing @pikuma.com's 3D graphics programming course (*chef's kiss*) reminded me of this gem of a game and core childhood memory. #throwbackthursday #gamedev #indiegames #retrogames

If you're looking for an experienced game programmer, who specializes in implementing gameplay designs, creating user interfaces and getting your game through Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo certification, then I'm your guy!

i thought video games were supposed to help me avoid my problems

Still super proud of this video I made 2 years ago. Views have kinda flat-lined so I'm posting it again because dammit I want people to see it! (The video title is probably not helping its popularity but I don't know what else to call it) www.youtube.com/watch?v=otO3...

Playing Ultima V like it's 1988. #ultima #retro #crpg #gaming #retrogaming

Talking to young people about a career in the creative industries:

wake up and thank god every day that I'm not a funko pop guy

@pikuma.com *planting a thought in your head about doing a C/C++ course on recreating one of the early Ultima games*

Success! NPCs in Ultima VII Revisited are now considered containers, and you can double-click them to view their inventory!

Betrayal at Krondor just arrived. Can't wait to dive into the story once again, after 15 years! @nealhallford.bsky.social must’ve been great to get praise from @refeist.bsky.social for your work on the writing and story. #crpg #retrogaming #rpg #gaming

Got my big box version of Diablo! Japanese mac version, so quite rare. I recently started collecting and re-playing vintage games again, after I had to sell my collection some years ago. Will be posting some of them soon. #diablo #retrogaming #gaming #macintosh

sometimes i miss lore from the simpler days

Pool of Madness, our Lovecraftian roguelite pool in the making, in 5 seconds 🦑 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite #gaming

Pool of Madness - our outrageous combination of cosmic horror and pool - works great on Steam Deck. It's our favourite way to play the game at the moment - try out the early demo during Steam Couch Co-op Fest! #SteamDeck #Steam #Gaming #SteamOS #Coop

When you're inking concept art and the cat gets jealous. #poolofmadness #art #conceptart #illustration #indiedev #characterdesign

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay

Devastating. Scavenger's Reign felt fresh in a way few shows do anymore. It was a delight to see a new creature and imagine its behavior, only to be utterly and wondrously wrong. If you haven't seen it yet, treat yourself to a viewing

Happy Halloween! Here's a Starter Pack with all the awesome indie horror game devs I was able to find on Bluesky. Check out their scary games! go.bsky.app/2JwFHXW
