the actual success of the 'friendslop' genre i think at least partly comes down to just emulating the feeling of loading up a weird surrealist mod of half-life in 2001 and joining a random server for a few evenings and then never playing it again. the genre is just like... y2k internet mod scene.

After a solid run of about 13 years at Double Fine, It seems I have found myself with an abundance of free time. If you know anyone hiring for games VFX, please let me know!

press release: someone at my construction company left a bulldozer in gear while they went to lunch and BY ITSELF it broke through our wall and damaged another company's poorly built structure. this is an unprecedented event that demonstrates the power of our vehicles and deserves your attention!

This game (Blast Miner) is the hardest floating-point to fixed-point conversion I've done, with some levels having long chains of collisions making any change in precision affect solutions. This level specifically was impossible with 16.16 fixed-point.

I am so tired of people who can't code telling me about how AI helps them code to 1% of the ability of a professional, which sure is 10x for them. It's like me telling people that the invention of music theory will make actual musicians obsolete because now I, too, can write chords that sound OK.

I didn’t stop updating that game because I’m lazy or hate players, it’s because it stopped making money and I needed to move on something else to stay in business.

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?
