HAN SOLO: Hell, I never would have flown a spaceship if it wasn't for the daring exploits of Ben Quadinaros, famed podracer... He inspired all of us kids back on Corellia. LEIA (NODDING): Yes, I also know and love Ben Quadinaros. The boy, Han... let's name the boy after him

Ok, after about a dozen revisions I think I have enough of a rough-draft design to start modelling in Blender and refining. Took me a while to give up on the idea that it's got a big spider-like abdomen, so that the "from the rear" view that you mostly see in-game has a more interesting silhouette.

makkon's textures have been a cornerstone of the quake community for as long as I can remember. they're absolutely gorgeous, thoughtfully designed, and thoroughly field-tested.

I'm immensely proud to announce that my texture library that's been in the making for nearly a decade is now available on my itchio store for indie devs to purchase commercial licenses. makkon.itch.io

One of my favorite and most effective design patterns is "tell the player exactly what you're gonna do to them, then do it." You can be SIGNIFICANTLY meaner to the player if you simply tell them ahead of time that that's exactly what you'll be doing, and also the suspense of the warning is a delight

Loved seeing this system take shape. It felt like one of those key advances during development that put a lid on the chaos we'd created and turned it into something you could learn the rules of.

I wrote about how Skin Deep's "Highlighter System" works -- automatically detecting events in the world and showcasing them to the player: blendogames.com/news/post/20...

I enjoyed Metal Garden a lot -- really lovely level design, reminded me of Source engine + Halo and now has a dev commentary mode too! Great stuff πŸ‘πŸ‘

To this day I feel so lucky that this incredible crew made the Quadrilateral Cowboy trailer. So much talent in Jake, Derek, Chris, and Erin, planning, devising, and creating this amazing stuff πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

This is as good an excuse as any to re-share the Quadrilateral Cowboy trailer I got to help make with @derek-lieu.com @chrisremo.bsky.social and @erinyvette.bsky.social a decade ago. Still proud of it! youtu.be/S_IVvhSX2tY

Happy late birthday to Dawn of Darkness, a Quake 2 mod I contributed to when I was a high school teen I only just learned today that some on the team would later make Control & Wolfenstein The New Order?? Some of my favorite games!!!!!! I made this very cool airship for the mod:
