PC Gamer just put out the 2025 edition of their Top 100 Games #7 is... Caves of Qud! www.pcgamer.com/games/the-to...

"Friendslop" was ha ha funny for a day or two but the more I hear the word, I hate it because it belies the incredible amount of work and skill and strong design of the successful ones.

Steam Next Fest is over today. Managed to play a couple interesting demos: Cairn, Half Sword, YapYap, Road to Vostok, and MISERY are all on my radar now. Give them a shot while you can!

Rewatched Outland with Sean Connery - if ever there was a Weyland Yutani offshoot with the Alien, this could be it. The set designs are really cool and feel realistic, even if some of it comes off as being lower budget.

'The Queen is dead: PREPARE FOR SKIRMISH COMBAT!' is also almost exactly the full set-up of House of the Dying Sun.

I'm mildly obsessed with how well clicker/idle games can weave a narrative. Also see: Space Plan, A Dark Room, Universal Paperclips

lmao Unfair Flips earns so much drama as the UI gets out of the way and centers the coin in preparation for your 10th flip. I laugh every time it happens.

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal. This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer. #MedievalMonday

Bringing these knights back by popular demand. I will be doing another series of them but more ornate and detailed. This is the first out of 5 and once all 5 are complete I will offer them to people to buy and go to good homes :) Graphite on paper

Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL - Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers. You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.

This is what the game I'm making looks like.

Watched The Cell (2006) for the first time this weekend. A reminder that Eiko Ishioka was definitely one of the costume design GOATs. The movie's worth watching for her work alone. Thanks to my concept design friends who introduced me to her all those years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA-_...

The Vile Geometry. Now painted.

Wing Leader update! Thanks to some goofy-ass string coding and the use of the "Circle Number" Unicode character set (⓪ ① ② ③), I've got auto-translate working in Kilrathi cockpits! Every time the camera angle switches, the info changes to English. It's pretty nifty. Enjoy!

I wasn't planning to share this one. It' just a bunch of personal explorations and things I did for fun, it lacks polish, but some people enjoyed it so... Have fun ! #fantasyart #TTRPG #OSR #DnD #illustration #comics #comicbook

sorry nothing better to do. actually a lot better to do idk. had to draw a severian sooner or later; either too old or too young-looking going by other arts. am a coward for not putting the mask on him

Hey #PortfolioDay I do concepts, assets, art direction and real-time look dev for games &animation.

I've read 100s of Shigeru Miyamoto interviews; this one is a top five, easy. A long Iwata, Miyamoto, and Itoi (Earthbound creator) discussion on the nature of creativity, how to cultivate it as a leader, artistic aesthetic, how to collaborate creatively iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/w...

highly recommend making a fully procedural character controller, there's no way you'll spend too much time on it.

I want to show off a great piece of debug visualization by the #BrigadorKillers code team—balancing and visualizing weapon bloom in an isometric environment is no mean feat, so good debug tools are a must:

The most fun I’ve had with a space combat game since FreeSpace 2. I’ve been meaning to write about this as part of my “sort of off topic” editorials. One day!

House of the Dying Sun is excellent. The atmosphere alone is top notch. Hunt the traitor lords.

My combat-drifting assassination simulator, House of the Dying Sun is 70% off this week thanks to the Steam Sale. Check it out if you haven't. Be the Dragon. store.steampowered.com/app/283160/H...

I want to make a whole game that fits King Buffalo's Dead Star.

The fifth and final of my five chapter illustrations for @possumcreekgames.com upcoming release of Last Train to Bremen by @seaexcursion.itch.io The funding campaign is going strong, go give it a look!

I should watch this again soon to forget about this INSANE heat. $15mil budget! The casting is insane. The effects still got it. Focused scope and locations. The lighting is on point. (Split diopter alert?)
