Oi Oi Bluesky!👋

I'm Dre, the Lead Game Designer on Rollerdrome and OlliOlli2 (among other junk)

Since the unfortunate Roll7 news earlier this year I've been cooking up something new, in secret, with a couple of my pals from the Rollerdrome team.

Follow me for cringe jokes and dank memes.

Some deeply rubbish life stuff happened in 2025 but my cultural intake remains strong:

😂 21 comedy shows (up from 18)
🍿 20 trips to the cinema (up from 8)
🎵 15 concerts (down from 31)
🎭 11 theatre trips (up from 7)

Wanna get my concerts back up in 2026!
I've been a freak in the sheets and logged all the shows I went to in 2024

🎵 Concerts: 31
😂 Comedy: 18
🍿 Cinema: 8
🎭 Theatre: 7

GRAND TOTAL: 64

Looking to step-up my theatre game in 2025!

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

“I am not in denial, I am in open rebellion.” incredible
“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.”

2 years and 8 months since LUNARK came out. Hard to believe.
I spent 4+ years mostly solo on this project - rotoscoping, coding, composing the OST - and your support made the difference! Thank you for playing my little cinematic-platformer tribute 🥰

Johan’s LUNARK is basically a modern-day Flashback and everyone should play it.
