I'm now at a point in my career where I feel I've done everything I want to, in regards to franchises. I've been a Junior, Senior, Lead, and Principal and contributed to numerous character teams over 14 years. Thank you to every peer and game fan; Life update soon.

The danger of showing early game footage is getting stuck with it. Mass Effect Andromeda spent 2 years on procedural planets before scrapping them. Cyberpunk 2077 and Alien Isolation were both 3rd-person games in early development. Imagine those design decisions were promised...
This is footage of a game that did not actually release

If he's drawing THIS with a 20 year old version of software that doesn't require a subscription fee - perhaps we should be copying HIM instead of telling him he needs to change.
Can someone buy Toyotaro a new computer and clip studio paint because I just remembered he draws using 2005 photoshop on windows 8.1 😭

This is objectively the best Assassins Creed premise I've ever heard that would make widespread murder and assassination more fun.
Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post-Civil War era • Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave • Players would fight the emerging KKK • Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash (Source:

Almost every game I've ever worked on only came together in the final 3 months tbh. Any other devs relate? 🫠
Former Capcom Director Hideaki Itsuno said Capcom vs SNK 2 really came together and improved a lot in the final 3 months of development! He says they were given the extra 3 months they needed but these days it is much harder to get extra time to work on a game. via

When Autodesk killed this program Softimage XSI, it gutted a core part of Japan’s game dev DNA. Studios had entire pipelines, scripts, & animation workflows around it. Its death forced costly retraining, migration to Maya, and years of lost efficiency in exchange for

I wonder how many billions Tron Ares would have sold at the box office if they had signed Keanu or Nicholas Cage instead

It was the main software for Valve, SEGA, Konami, Capcom, PlatinumGames, and Namco. Not only games but Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Titanic, The Fifth Element, and The Matrix all used that shit. Autodesk basically bought the software only to destroy it, wiping out its competitor

Check out this screenshot of the original Gordon Freeman model used for Half-Life 2's box art. Feels like something our eyes were never meant to see: https://t.co/KzkIjUkGUu

When I meet a Gen Z kid who voluntarily went back and watched Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Ghost in the Shell SAC, or READ Akira - I feel like I'm meeting someone who is profoundly cooler than they should be. Choosing culture before your birth in today's world is impressive.

Where did this idea that bad people can't be highly talented come from? I keep seeing people discredit JK Rowling's writing skills. Why? There's a lot of R Kelly's in this world, you know.
