TIL Unreal doesn't like any UPROPERTY named "Instigator" even if it's inside a struct and not shadowing something like the AActor property. The garbage collector freaks out.

The year of the Year In Review.

Skin Deep ✨ BEST IMMERSIVE SIM OF THE YEAR ✨ Thanks PC Gamer! 👉Get it! store.steampowered.com/app/301280/S... 👉Skin Deep was made by insanely talented crew of folks; this game only exists because of them: blendogames.com/skindeep/cre...

My space revenge simulator, House of the Dying Sun (narrowly) made the RPS top 100 PC Games list this year! 🙏 It's conveniently ON SALE at a 70% discount. Profits are directly funding whatever dark, weird, indie thing I'm working on next. store.steampowered.com/app/283160/H...

Playing Nightreign and Dark Souls 1 back-to-back is giving me whiplash. The overall inflation of speed and intensity of boss fights over the last decade is super apparent and INSANE.

ROUTINE! After all these years! They nailed the Aliencore aesthetic with (I think?) a very tiny team still. I'd LOVE to see a breakdown of how they got Unreal to look like this.

"Birth of the Homunculus" A sorceress astounded by her creation. This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday! (see thread for details + process shot-by-shot)

I used to be super into designing spacecraft but over the years have sort of maxed out my interest in that particular domain, however once in a while it still Calls to me inb4 'homeworld vibes' lol

I really need to bite the bullet and disappear into Blender/Houdini/Substance land for a while and level up my game art. Houdini is *particularly* interesting because I feel like it could let smaller teams/solos really punch above their weight as long as you don't overdo it.

House of the Dying Sun is 70% off today in celebration of its 9th (OMG) anniversary. I've learned SO MUCH since this came out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=56fC... store.steampowered.com/app/283160/H...

This weekend I *will* finish Between Two Fires. A medieval French apocalypse adventure wasn't on my list before, but came as a solid rec from a friend. www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

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-_...
