Alright let's try posting WIP updates here instead of Instagram. For 3 years now, I've been working on a full set of 78 tarot cards. I have 23 cards left. Spent some time tonight chipping away at the Three of Swords.

25 years ago, Apple introduced the Flower Power and Blue Dalmatian iMac.

Speaking of DREAMM, after a few unfortunate delays, I'm pushing to finish up DREAMM 4.0 for the end of the month. If you're into LucasArts/LucasFilm/Lucas Learning games and want to help make sure this release is solid, please check out the latest beta! dreamm.aarongiles.com/beta/

Was Blue Prince as good as it was because of our vintage magazine subscriptions, where 100% of the proceeds benefit historical video game preservation? I'm not saying yes, absolutely, but I'm not NOT saying it. the-video-game-history-foundation.myshopify.com/collections/...

I talked to @cressup.bsky.social this weekend about Firewatch turning 10, and also about adventure games for a while because why not. It was a great chat, the only downside is I am now a youtube thumbnail head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuAj...

happy ten years, Firewatch! congrats to the campo santo crew, and thanks again for letting me be a part of it. still the game i am most proud of in my many years of making video games.

It is absolutely wild that Firewatch came out a decade ago today. I don't think any of us then could even get close to fathoming the ways it which it would resonate with people. I'm still unspeakably grateful to anyone who spent time in this (lightly fictional) corner of the place I grew up.

Today is the tenth anniversary of Firewatch. At times it still feels like “just a few years ago”. I’m incredibly proud of what the team achieved and I’m humbled to have been part of it. It was one of those lighting-in-a-bottle moment of my life and of my career. I’ve been lucky, and (cont)

Thinking back, it feels like a different Jane made Firewatch... a Jane who related more to one of the shitty teens at the lake. It's been interesting to reflect on one's work from 10 years ago, and finding more resonance with it now. "Oh that's what Henry was feeling. Well this sucks." lmao

Today is the tenth anniversary of Firewatch's release. It remains the thing I'm most proud to have worked on. There's more of me inside of Firewatch than in any other game—and I have no doubt there are others on the team who would say the same about themselves. Thanks to everyone who ever played it.

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

i heard you were looking for an illustration of Olive Oyl using her nintendo famicom, with the tv-net modem peripheral plugged into it, so she can use "daiwa my trade", and make trades on the japanese stock market, with the help of popeye. well here you go

If you give Mario a happy meal he glitches out and gets weird, that's why you never see a McDonald's in a mainline game

Very minor but extremely satisfying victory: "scroll to read will" is back in my game. It was causing me great distress that I'd had to change it to a button press (since that initial transition is an overly-complicated canned animation), but then I remembered that computers can do arithmetic.

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/798775628

holy fuck what an intro

Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story is a new documentary exploring the games, the creators, and the engine behind Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Sam & Max, Loom, and more. The journey begins early 2026. Join the waitlist at scummdoc.com

"Please, Spirit...tell me that this is not canon!"

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

Introducing my next documentary project. This is my concept, and my synopsis has had really upbeat feedback from the LucasArts and adventure community people I've shown it to. We'll have more to share in January, but for now please follow @scummdoc.bsky.social and sign up to the waitlist.

Had this idea for a music video made from b-roll of animators opening mouths. Harder to find clips than I thought so this is probably it unless you can help. Wouldn’t be this song obviously

Hey! Are you gifted in piecing together game data? I'm going to need help during this live stream today! I'm putting raw EPROMs in a public folder, but need help piecing them together. Systems are NES, GEN, SNES, GB, GG, Jag. There are new unreleased games here! www.youtube.com/live/RJwR8jX...

As part of our project to preserve the history of Sega Channel, we have recovered OVER 100 new Sega Channel ROMs, including the legendary lost game Garfield: Caught in the Act - The Lost Levels. Read more: gamehistory.org/segachannel/

I'm the Unreleased NES Games Guy, so "revive a lost NES game and get it officially released" has been on my bucket list for a long, long time. That it is a fundraiser cartridge with 100% of the profits helping even MORE preservation work happen is even cooler than I'd hoped. I'm proud of this.

Just remembered I own morbius2.movie.

I propose a solution to our ongoing RAM shortage:

If you’re standing near me and think you faintly hear the Taskmaster theme, that’s because it’s been playing on loop in my head for two weeks straight now.

November 30th / December 1st

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

congratulations everyone on another anniversary of that time the pilgrims in plymouth first bowled 3 strikes in a row

This was such a banger. (Context: It's 1980 and you're 9.) youtu.be/prWginDJWYM?...

To say I am consumed by the cast of Dispatch would be a true statement, and canon.

I really liked the music used in the Steam Hardware Announcement video, so I made an extended, looped version of the ending. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iQ7...

Going to start saying that they don’t make adventure games like they used to but only because they don’t make games to promote Peperami OR BiFi salami sausages anymore www.mobygames.com/game/9244/bi...

My Space Quest site, Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset, launched 30 years ago this month. That makes it one of the oldest video game fan sites on the web. To celebrate the milestone, I've updated the site for the first time in ages with tons of new content. Check it out! wiw.org/~jess/roger.html
