If you get royalty reports from small distributors, maybe keep checking the numbers as I got some weird ones, queried and they fixed it. Not saying they are, but they could be using AI and it messed up. Or just human error.
Anyway, over the past 20 years, I've seen a lot of mistakes. Double check!

Really hoping that anyone making a "Games to look forward to in 2026" list hasn't forgotten about our game, Forbidden Solitaire, which is due out early in 2026.

Glad we could make the Terminator 2 arcade game we all wanted but never got
I am happy to say that Terminator 2D: No Fate is the game this movie has always deserved, an absolute masterpiece of arcade-style run-and-gun action that stands alongside the very best games in the genre's history. kotaku.com/terminator-2...

Complete redesign of the background layer system for the zero wing port. I can now composite the 16 layers of priority down to 5 or 6. Biggest hurdle now dealt with.

Just found this old photo, taken probably in 1998.
It's the Gremlin Interactive "Test" (QA) dept. Not really sure what game was being tested but given there are MS Sidewinders out it's probably Hardwar.
My desk was the one nearest camera, on the right.

Been testing the Windows XP look for my little defrag project.
Somehow this ended up way more relaxing than expected.
Just blocks moving… but it feels like 2004 again.

The one upside of generative AI is that it made me value human-made art more. Art that didn't really impress me before feels way more meaningful now. Thanks slop, you made me appreciate human creativity more than ever.
