Liam Wong had a wildly successful career as an art director for major video games when, during a promo trip to Japan, he bought a camera, and altered his life’s trajectory. In a rare, wide-ranging interview, the street photographer discusses his unique and fascinating journey:

Ubisoft released a color blind simulation tool today, called UbiChroma. The free and open source tool enables developers to test for color blind accessibility issues in real-time. Fitting existing workflows, it can help catch color blind issues early. caniplaythat.com/2025/04/14/u...

FINALLY caving-- Started Cyberpunk 2077 & haven't been this gripped by an open-world game since..... wait fuck probably Witcher 3 hang on asdfdgjkh-- ANYWAY, I'll probably make a longer post with design/narrative thoughts on it at some point, but I also wanted a place to 'aaaa' as I experience it

Em dashes are duct tape for sentences and I love them

A world without Trans people has never existed, and it never will. More than visibility, we need safety 🏳️‍⚧️

Do you make weird, artsy, short-form videogames? Or know someone who does? Check out this new zine project I've been working on (intended to kind of bridge poetry/academia/art world/indie games) - and consider submitting a game for the first issue! www.gamepoems.org

I think that perhaps the best revenge you can take in a world that seeks to tear you down is simply to keep creating.

If you're in or visiting Tokyo and looking to work out with tattoos, please take advantage of the research I did when I moved here 🖤 idristhegrey.substack.com/p/ie-tattoo-...

It's been almost a decade since I left Monolith to work at Guerrilla, and I only worked there for about 1.5 years, but that studio was and will always be special to me. This one really, really hurts.

In hindsight.. Janet was peak NB rep. Like I love the cyborgs and androgynous assassin types, but there is something so Real and Important and (for me) Relatable about how she just Is, and looks femme-coded, but Isn't A Girl (and never stops reminding everyone of that).

Murdercat pretty much ignores what's on any screen at all times, but... I'm playing through Death Stranding, and he got SUPER INTERESTED in one of the Dads Mikkelsen cutscenes. Like, climbed up in front of the TV making little grunting noises and wiggling his head around.

I can finally say it! I'll be giving a talk at @officialgdc.bsky.social with @liamwong.com about "See the UNSEEN: Revealing the Art and Animation of 'KEMURI'", mainly focused on the trailer we crafted for the TGA. All the info: schedule.gdconf.com/session/see-...
