Throughout my career, I'd find systems nobody was maintaining or projects without leadership and realize "I need to step up and take responsibility for this or we'll lose it".
Building coalitions and teams from people who also cared and wanted to support the objectives have been the best moments.

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.

What a clever iteration on the powerwash genre, turning it into cleaning up an ominous contaminated sci-fi outpost.

Well I learned a valuable lesson today because in the hours since I posted "looking for an artist", I've been bombarded with bot spam offering to "make art for my comic" 😂
Looking for an artist to create a fractal cosmic being for a game vertical slice: you play chess +100 extra rules against these beings.
Original inspiration was "biblically accurate angels" with the multitude of eyes and wings, but the concept turned kaleidoscopic.
Know anybody with this style?

I spent recent months doing another shader and color overhaul while replacing Black Ice's HUD with something a little more cyberpunk.

I did this in Black Ice and they're also all lava waterfalls 🔥
the trick is to put treasure behind *one* waterfall, then the player will never stop looking
WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass
WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

How over- and underrepresented are different causes of death in the media?
Another way to visualize this data is to measure how over- or underrepresented each cause is.
To do this, we calculate the ratio between a cause’s share of deaths and its share of news articles.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

Was lucky to chat with @futuregamesshow.bsky.social about writing and acting for The Matrix Online, along with "Rarebit" @smbhax.bsky.social. It was so much fun to relive those old memories of building live events and ARG puzzles for such a dedicated community.
