Wow, 512 followers! Intro post time! I make games (current: Double Fine, past: LucasArts, Dynamighty). Mostly a programmer, but some design too. Other interests include music (piano and composition), puzzles, and being outside. Quiet, but sometimes I like to write about gameplay systems.

Have you ever wished someone would slap that guy making a loud phonecall during your bus ride? Now YOU get to be the hero who shuts him up.

I’ve been having a blast working on this chaotic little game. Excited to be able to share it!

Having a blast logging back into this world! This sequel builds on the wonderful strategic roguelike gameplay from 868-HACK, adding a ton of new depth to explore. Highly recommended!

Everyone: You finish that trailer for Kiln? Double Fine: Sure did boss, real sexy just like you asked. Everyone: what. Kiln - Official Launch Trailer youtu.be/5y4Le4sMtMk

I love sharing numbers so here's a video of how much we spent to make Mythmatch. I break it down by time, discipline, and funding source. youtu.be/cB5lanPUQ1o

Congrats to you and the rest of the team! I played through this over the last few days and found it hard to stop. It’s cute, delightful, polished, and has a wonderfully positive view on human community that feels so good to see these days. Thank you for putting so much love into creating Mythmatch!

Bee Magic is a wonderful puzzle game (go play it!). Using movement patterns to cast spells creates interesting challenges with the level design. Really nice to read about design iteration on the map!

Last year I wrote about the movement systems for Raz that we built on top of Unreal’s CharacterMovementComponent. This covers the architecture of our Move Mode system, how a few of our custom modes work, and a bit about dealing with inconsistent gravity. doublefine.com/news/behind-...

I played 868-HACK during my daily commute for years. Fantastic roguelike with interesting risk/reward choices, simple controls, and turn-based gameplay so you can play at your own pace. Very excited that a sequel is in the works!

Navigating a brain involves running, climbing, and more. Player Movement and Powers Feature Lead Devin Kelly-Sneed (@devinks.bsky.social) has once again sat down for a closer look at Psychonauts 2. This time, it’s all about movin’ around! Read more: doublefine.com/news/behind-the-code-move-modes

I wrote another Behind the Code article about Psychonauts 2! This time I explain how we used our Target Search system. It finds and prioritizes objects in the world for Raz’s powers to interact with. www.doublefine.com/news/devin-t...

Jumping is one of the most important things you do in Psychonauts 2 but how do you design the perfect jump? Player Movement and Powers Feature Lead @devinks.bsky.social breaks down the entire process behind Raz’s acrobatics in this article! Read here: doublefine.com/news/devin-article-raz-jump

Figured I should post something on here. But not feeling good at words right now. Cat.
