Surprise! I just released FTL - Lost Ship EP, a small collection of never before published FTL music, including live tracks, music that was cut from the game, and an expanded piece I made in 2025 based on one of the originals.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Just bought DEEP SPACE EXPLOITATION by @juhrjuhr.itch.io and really enjoying it! I am a sucker for physics based gameplay, and this mix between Asteroids, Red Faction and a grim context of future exploitation, is amazing.

What an enjoyable article. Not just about Bullfrog, one of the best studios to ever exist, but mainly two of my favourite games, Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper. And the best part, I just discovered a new blog to read!

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.

Using A.I. for writing and research is professional malpractice.
Sorry, not sorry.
It is what it is.
You didn't "write" something if you put prompts into a box and clicked a button and copy/pasted the output onto a page.
You didn't do "research" by asking it a question.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

I'm experimenting with a way to show how DOS games render themselves.
Basically I'm recording a lossless video of the game running on a very slow (virtual) CPU, then removing all the frames where nothing happens, and I'm playing it back sped up a lot.

I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.
