I honestly feel like the Games Industry is gonna be over soon. Long live indies and bedroom developers.

This Canyon Test found in the Volition files at The Strong looks to be an early test for Red Faction: Guerrilla, from around 2004.

rip to pillowfort, which unfortunately I basically only remember as "that site from which some guy creeped on my accounts in order to write drama threads about cohost". I wish you had been able to have moderation that would make me remember you for any other reason

WifeRadiant (my 3D level editor project for game developers) will NEVER be vibecoded and will NEVER accept AI-generated code or art (or ANYTHING) contributions. if that happens then i have DIED. you can quote me on that. wiferadiant.org

Richard B. Gray - LEVELORD 11/15/1957 - 10/12/2026 Just heard the news that an old friend of mine has passed on. Richard Gray - aka Levelord has departed the planet. I know he's dealt with cancer on and off for awhile now, a word that I cannot stand. Word comes from his wife Olga.
