Grateful to say: I've returned to Blackbird Interactive for the next step of Hardspace!

Shipbreaker is about the place of labor in our society. I think it's important to make media that examine that, and possibly imagines a better future.

Plus, blowing stuff up might be cathartic for all of us....

Still so bummed about Scavenger's Reign and how we'll never know the ongoing story of its greatest character... the little guy who washes his eyeballs in a river

Ha! Coincidentally, I just came back from the bookstore with this.
A book about the graphic design of the Wipeout videogame series

It's hard to describe to anyone born into depths of Web 2.0 just how free, liberating and exciting the internet was once. We need to get back there.

Learning how to use Material Maker to create textures and trimsheets for some Doom levels I'm making. It's going really well!

Took a bit of manual work to recreate the original Doom Palette in MM's Palletize node, but now what I make in MM is exactly what shows up in-game.

There is gorgeous texture work here, and the sweeping, curved architecture can't have been easy to pull off in this engine. The SCALE of some of these areas is huge and glorious too - I was just constantly taking screenshots and shaking my head.

The corridor is sweeping off into the distance, and there are pools of purple liquid spaced throughout. It's dark and moody, and the textures feel very organic, almost like the ship is a living creature. An image from the Marathon Infinity mod Apotheosis X.

Y'know, the Silent Hill IP would actually be kind of a great fit for an Until Dawn / The Quarry style high-fidelity narrative-choice game, but not like this.... not like this....
