I'm landing on Bluesky after moving from Twitter/X and investing a few years on Mastodon.
I like Mastodon, but I also find it to be "less lively" in the #gamedev context, when compared to Twitter/X.
I miss many of the user and their contents and, apparently, they mostly moved here. :)

With Wayland not supporting the dynamic setting of an application icon, I guess I'll simply remove this feature from my game engine.

I'm becoming more and more obsessed with sythwave music during my coding hours. There are a lot of awesome YouTube channels. Yes, it's quite formulaic in nature (and some definitely GenAI driven), but they serve very well their purpose.

Apparently, having a custom file format for the image assets of my game-engine would make sense. This means that I need to write an image conversion tool, including palette optimization capabilities...

Way back on July 28, 2025, I had a long conversation about my games career and everything else I've been doing for the past 50 years, with my old friend Mark Holmes as part of his #CinematicDesign Community. I just uploaded it to YouTube. Enjoy! #gamedev #LucasfilmGames #LucasArts #retrogaming

At the start of DVD, TENACIOUS D THE COMPLETE MASTERWORKS set the standard, with their music videos, episodes & more. At the advent of Blu-ray, they made Vol. 2, a powerful documentary of their movie’s failure. Almost 20 years later I can’t believe they made Vol. 3 THIS WEEK

Happy 40th birthday, Space Harrier! Released into Japanese arcades on 2nd October 1985, and blowing arcade fans away with even more advanced sprite scaling than Sega's first forays into it and an absolute riot of colour.

I'm still very much in need of a project. I'm expensive and worth it
🎨 I’m a veteran game artist open for new work.
I’ve been illustrating, directing, animating, and designing since 2000 -not just pixel art (though I love it).
Clients include Minecraft, WB’s Space Jam, Unity and Rami Ismail.
If you need visual worldbuilding, I’m your person.
DMs open, email in bio

For some years, for me this was the BEST game at the arcades.
Insanely difficult to master with the twin-sticks controller... but amazing as hell!
