Since I'm posting about the Alien book... Brighton (gaming/dev) folks: If I was to arrange a talk where I spoke with devs who worked on old (90s) Alien projects and modern (HD era) Alien projects, about those experiences, the differences, license holder involvement, etc... would you be into it?
/noclip turns 10 today. So for the next month we're going to post a documentary a day to celebrate the people who took the time to talk to us during our first decade. First up, our first documentary. How Psyonix toiled for years to build an overnight success. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om0j...

We used this trick on a few PS2 pitches back in the day, but instead of mirrors used it for puddle reflections. We then duplicated and flipped the character meshes so enemies and the player appeared in them. Worked ok for a demo but too expensive and not 100% convincing for full release.
David Amador @djlink.bsky.social · 2y agoDuke Nukem 3D mirrors reflection were achieved by duplicating the room on the other side. If you deactivate clipping you can go to the other side. True reflections are computational intensive even today. t.co/Vdhsd4ho2A
These are absolutely beautiful, and unbelievably high quality for the price. Can’t wait to start reading 😍
5th Sept @loading.bar - 129 Stoke Newington High Street, N16 0PH. Myself, @ultrabrilliant.xyz and @sammgreer.bsky.social will be talking about Alien games and our Alien games books. There will be playable Alien/s games and quite possibly an Alien-inspired cocktail. 7pm ish start? Go on then.
Aliens: The Video Games releases tomorrow. In it, a chapter exploring what went awry with 2013's Aliens: Colonial Marines - a game that built expectations for itself that couldn't be met, and saw developers receive death threats upon its release. Order here: www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Aliens-The-V...

/noclip turns 10 on September 12th so with the help of our community I put together a video attempting to sum up the past 10 years. A few tears were shed while editing this. I suspect I'll go back and watch it time and again over our next decade. youtu.be/EY-HmdHrUN8

My old website fell foul of a recent Wordpress vulnerability, which just seems to be modern life these days. Took the opportunity to rebuild it back how I like my websites - super lightweight and trying to just use pure css. Pretty happy with the result www.alexmoore.me.uk

What an amazing resource that I had no idea existed. Thank you @innkeep.bsky.social for posting. It’s taken 2 flights but I’ve now finished the episode on Ultima Underworld. I was indeed a teenager with a PC absolutely blown away by it when I first played it 😍 youtu.be/KegyZSGhVMg?...

Daniel Burke - 🍺Innkeep@innkeep.bsky.social · last mo.#2 Majuular. Deep dive retrospectives on gaming history. They put a huge amount of effort into each video, not only playing the games through but providing historical context thats paired with archival footage / photography. Their Ultima series is a must watch IMO. youtu.be/wIWyHd3FFFU?...
It doesn’t always seem real to me, but here’s the story about I, the son of a boatbuilder from a small town in the North of England, became the lead designer on AvP 2010. I was 27. (I guess this is another “Aliens is 40” thing)

Alien's Rich Gaming History Can Fill An Entire Book
I spoke to Mike Diver about writing Aliens: The Video Games, a book about the history of games connected to that iconic horror film franchise.

Aliens: The Video Games is available to review in digital form, starting now. If you've a blog, a site, a magazine, a podcast, a newsletter, whatever, and want to cover this book, please let me know. (I can make zero guarantees re physical book provision as the publisher handles those.)
I'd been hoping to finish A4 in time for the 30th Anniversary... but a super quick mix of A3 - from 2001 - will have to do. Without Quake I wouldn't be in the industry. Playing again today still feels as fresh as ever. @johnromero.bsky.social your legacy on this industry is IMMENSE
Wasn’t this the blockchain + NFT dream? Which, like this, completely misses the point. It’s becoming technically more possible for sure, but a player character is more than just a skin - it’s a whole interwoven set of mechanics.
Eurogamer@eurogamer.bsky.social · 3mo agoEpic Games has detailed some of the features in its next generation Unreal Engine - Unreal Engine 6 - and one of the ideas it's testing is the ability for players to move their Fortnite skins into other Unreal Engine games. https://bit.ly/4xBjHlD
