Hi! I'm 50% of Bit Golem (design, writing, promo, spaghetti code).
Some games I am/was involved in: Pool of Madness, Dagon, Darkwood, Butcher.
Interests include art, #indiegames, sci-fi, music and beating insomnia.
Nice to meet you!

For immersive sim fans who are understandably never going to play Ultima Underworld due to its janky tech but are still interested in the genre's origin, this a pretty good long review/retrospective that give you a lot of perspective on it without having to play it.

Dungeon Keeper's sound design is so memorable. I can hear this screenshot in my head so clearly.

Syndicate made me fall in love with cyberpunk at age 10. I loved the design of the agents, the cities, and the clown cars.

I know there's a lot of jank in this, but I wanted to get some feedback on this version of the Ultima VII intro. Do the angle changes work? Or should the angle be static the whole time?

Syndicate/Syndicate Wars remain some of my favourite games of all time.
Long hours spent in my bedroom, lying on the floor next to my Amiga late at at night, playing them. Felt truly atmospheric doing it that way, with the rest of the house silent and sleeping.

Ghost in the Shell and Manga Entertainment's ad/cameo in Syndicate Wars (1996 DOS version).
I like the irony of the actual in-game 'talkie' ad in a hellhole of a cyberpunk city casting shade (from an in-universe perspective) on Ghost in the Shell and calling it a 'vision born of a nightmare past'.

We need more ellipsoid indie games. Doing @pikuma.com's 3D graphics programming course (*chef's kiss*) reminded me of this gem of a game and core childhood memory.

Still super proud of this video I made 2 years ago. Views have kinda flat-lined so I'm posting it again because dammit I want people to see it!
(The video title is probably not helping its popularity but I don't know what else to call it)
