Greetings. I'm a 30+ year veteran of the games industry. I've made Lots of my own original IP like TY the Tasmanian Tiger and Blade Kitten. As well as directing some smaller lesser known IP like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed :D

I like to design characters and make comics in my "spare" time.

What I was up to 30 years ago...

Back in the day each issue would take 2-3 months to show up in Australia because the shipping was by actual ships.

Not so bad though because most movies and TV shows took 6 months to a year to get shown on our shores.

Sci-fi / horror film & TV and futurist magazines were the life blood of a kid throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s

It's your regularly scheduled dump of me designing lots of characters. Pretty confident they're all looking diverse yet part of the same world. I think I do a pretty good job of not having same face syndrome.

Red Snow Fox

New winter look just dropped.

Nancy's snow gear for the next comic. I've been thinking about variations of this for a few years now and I finally had a silhouette that clicked in my head, so I drew it today.

Très mignon.

Renard Rouge - Red Snow Fox - Masked figure in a red winter dress with pink accents.

I saw this and I thought, "I know that building! I think it's in West End somewhere. A bit of geohunting in Google Street View and I found it! 😁

Brain, you remember the weirdest shit.

I've been moving stuff around the house today, and in between, I was playing around with some sprites because it was too hot to draw the comic.

So Nancy and Roger from the Crinoline Crime Club.

I really do love the look of this style of sprite for a game. I hope I'm around long enough to make something with this look.

Steve Stamatiadis @spacecaptsteve.bsky.social · 21h

Found this old Crinoline Crime Club test sprite while looking for something else. I wish I had the time and energy to make every cool project idea I have... and finish them.

But that is not the case.

Pulled the hard drives out of my old PC box for parts but I was short a drive. No sign of the SSD for the C drive. Had to look a couple of times everywhere to be sure.

Then I saw it was a tiny NVME drive on the motherboard. I feel like such an idiot.

I don't think NCC-90210 is for me but I hope it finds the audience it's looking for. I'll give it a few episodes to see what it's like.

Ah, October in Brisbane, where not quite Summer quickly transitions into very much Summer.

I thought I'd lost some old photos but one of the 101 USB hard drives came to the rescue.

Now they're going straight to the pool room. (I should have named the NAS that😊)

It's for a piggy-back extension lead, but now I really want a porcine home helper.

I won't lie, at the very least I want the Enterprise... all of them.

Steve Stamatiadis @spacecaptsteve.bsky.social · 3d

Sounds like the Criterion Showa era Godzilla films. I've got that one, it's a great collection.

Plex was a bit of messing about, but I finally got all the permissions set up properly so I could view the library.

I want to set up an SVN server on it next week as well.

NAS arrive this morning. Clean up things a bit and found a nice place for it. Adding in the drives was kinda fun in a geeky way😀

Back from my yearly Optometrist visit. Everything is pretty much the same as last year - which is good. Bought another pair of glasses with the same frames as last year, because they were so nice and comfy.

So all is good.

Ever write code that works fine and then you come back to it a month later and somehow now it's completely broken and you can't figure out how it ever worked?

That was me, all day today. I did get it working properly again... eventually.

I just wish I knew what I did to break it.

Can't we have it in Brisbane so we can call it BigW?
