Chris Johnston, aka “CJ”@superpac.bsky.social · last wk.Happy 10th anniversary of the release of Headlander! One of my absolute favorite projects I had the pleasure of working on while at Adult Swim Games. Thanks to @doublefine.com @leepetty.bsky.social @timoflegend.bsky.social for making such a great game. 🙏 youtu.be/kBYI5JHpJSY?...
"Mouth Bag" is one of my favorite dev. terms for the geometry inside a characters head that surrounds the teeth/tongue models in an "airtight" way. Every time I play a game and accidentally get a glimpse of a mouth bag, I feel like I've found a disturbing treasure. Today's gift.
Thank you all for the support to get there! store.steampowered.com/app/2938870/...

The main reasons you dont know hardly any AAA craft-level game makers names is because the machines that make money from those people don’t want to give any visionaries on the team camera time in case they want to fire them to save money. And the smaller game makers hate doing press
Yesterday was a terrible day for our industry. Bethesda has made some of my favorite games of all time and I have long time friends who (formerly) worked there.

I originally created this image as part of narratively-connected series and called it "The Summoning", but instead of pulling dead gods from the Astral Sea, I think it's really about the joy and pain of the creative process, which we all feel.
‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
![That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.
That’s great advice for life.
It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yvbszlkc7d75ixkid5g2zmw7/bafkreiar4z6n6pfk7wob2gznv6l6euw7ltxbetgto5drfd4wqzjalldp5m)
By all accounts Pablo Picasso was an asshole, but I still love this song even if it’s claims are not true.

It took me 3 years (about 5,000 hours) to make my first video game mostly alone, and it's now OUT ON STEAM 🎮
Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.
During my travels a few months ago, I spent some time in Trondheim, Norway giving a talk and workshop on creative leadership. It's set of fundamental approaches I use for creating, communicating, and changing the vision. Give it a watch if interested! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwjg...

My sketchbooks are debris fields of half-forgotten ideas and loose sketches.
An image I created during the pandemic of 2020, when we were all isolated. I imagined my living space turning into a giant suburban mech, lumbering through the neighborhood in search of connection, piloted from an old arm chair and an array of TVs.
A very early concept exploration for hybrid entities at the very early phases of Keeper. These designs weren't used for the final game, but some of the pipe/industrial elements snuck in elsewhere.
Hay game devs it’s a rough time so let’s try celebrating what you done as of late, share your games, your experiments, dev art or simply little experiments and what you learnt. Let’s celebrate what you achieved without LLM or genAI. And try to share and encourage who ever feels like taking part.
