There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

It's here! It was such a great honor to be able to sit down and chat with @thefargo.bsky.social about WoW, Hearthstone, and the craft of worldbuilding. I'm so excited to bring you this conversation: I had a lot of fun having it, and I hope you'll enjoy listening!

Good morning BlueSky! I was drafting this post yesterday when the news of more #layoffs hit, and I couldn’t find the heart to finish. But I’m going to plow through. What’s going on in #gaming right now? Let’s look at some charts and data. A 🧵!

Friends of BlueSky! It is time to introduce you to Bufus, a fascinating gentleman I met 20 years ago. Bufus is a Sim, and he taught me a lot about open-ended #videogames and #emergence. I hope you’ll come to love him as much as I did in this short #GameDev Thread 🧵 about #TheSims.

Yesterday I posted a #GameDev thread from @maxnichols.bsky.social that described a game’s possibility space as its “surface area.” I like this analogy because it more accurately describes a game’s scope. Let me explain in this thread 🧵, featuring #GameDesign, Will Wright, and #TheBlob.

Happy Monday, #GameDev crew! Nestled on my bookshelf is this treasure from #Spelunky dev Derek Yu ( @mossmouth.bsky.social ), published in 2016 by Boss Fight Books ( @bossfightbooks.com ). A short thread 🧵 about why I love this book and reference it often:

Found in my #GameDev journal for 2-19-2023:
"What if that's what wizardry is? We have the tools and talent to create whatever we dream, but to actually create it is a deep well of banal tasks and esoteric understanding. It is not power that limits a wizard: It is patience."

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

Lots on info on how the World
of Warcraft sausage was made in this thread!
Happy 20th Anniversary World of Warcraft! I had the honor of working on #WoW for nearly a decade. In the Spring of 2009 I was a Quest Designer. Let’s talk about creating one of my favorite zones: Southern Barrens, Cataclysm-style. Buckle up! 🧵 #Warcraft #GameDev #Design

Pac-Man was my first game obsession. Here's Polaroid photos of my 10th birthday party: October, 1983. This is not a scene from Stranger Things! Note the clothes, wallpaper, wood paneling. I am excitedly opening Return of the Jedi action figures and a pair of Underoos.😅 #1980s #Nostalgia #Videogames
