I had a wonderful opportunity to do an interview with Steven Lake and reminisce about growing up playing PC games with my Dad and the sacrifices my Mom made to send me to my dream school which eventually lead to starting Nightdive Studios

The Examined Game with Steven Lake@theexaminedgame.bsky.social · last wk.

The Examined Game talks with Nightdive Studio's @nightdivestudios.bsky.social founder Stephen Kick @pripyatbeast.bsky.social on his gaming childhood and the support he got from his Mom and Dad to follow his dreams in making video games youtu.be/LcfHl22lwyM

Sneak peak at my upcoming video over at youtube.com/@moloch_machine where we be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of DOOM 2016 by dismembering the Collectors Edition 😭

I was able to sneak my headcrab into a local brewery for this shot, I was looking for a place that looked like Black Mesa - I can't believe how real it looks!

My buddy @pripyatbeast.bsky.social started a relaxing youtube channel where we makes stuff and generally displays more creativity than I could imagine. Check it out!

Half-Life is my Dad's favorite game so for his Birthday I made him a life-size Headcrab. The project inspired me to start a YouTube channel documenting the process - it also turned into a love letter to the game. Would love to hear your thoughts! youtu.be/-Q4K-SUdPjE?...

I just launched a Youtube channel focused on easy to follow relaxing tutorials that will cover 3D printing, painting, illustration, prop building and much, much more. If you enjoy that kind of thing I'd love to hear from you about the kinds of projects you'd like to see! youtu.be/rent8XBB1wU?...

Found a complete, like new Id Anthology for an absurdly low price, and it even included the original receipt! $119.99! The original owner also purchased Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time CD-ROM 😂

I have been searching for this System Shock issue of Game Developer Magazine for years! Finally eBay provided 🔥

This is the most comprehensive tell-all @nightdivestudios.bsky.social story and I'm truly honored that @davidlcraddock.bsky.social and @shacknews.bsky.social wanted to tell it. If you ever wondered how this whole thing got started, this is your answer.

Introducing "Haven't You Ever Wanted to Go Diving? The Story of Nightdive Studios," a behind-the-scenes look at @nightdivestudios.bsky.social's origins, operations, and some of their many remasters. Free to read on @shacknews.com! www.shacknews.com/article/1416...

There's been a lot of people asking for the System Shock Remake thumbnail so here's the two versions. One is slightly brighter on the edge but the other is darker so might be better for a wallpaper or something.

I found these amazing late 19th Century carved wood Griffins while on vacation and they are just magnificent! Any other antique collectors around here?

Look what I found at the Atari office! This is totally coming home with me...🙂‍↔️

What a blast it was to print and paint this piece, so what should I do next? Issac Clark? Nyx from Hades? Something original? www.instagram.com/reel/DWZhBZA...

My vaguely #NewProfilePic reminding me to post more drawings! This drawing ended up being owned by Stephen Kick of Nightdive Studios, but don’t like to brag. 😜

"Promise me you'll remaster these. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless"

Here's a sneak peak of my finished Princess Mononoke sculpture. I'll have a step by step tutorial on the process coming soon. Thank you for you support!

CJ and the team at @uberstrategist.com were instrumental to our success at Nightdive - every interview, podcast, review, and event we participated in was elevated as a result of their involvement. I will miss you guys, but I'll always still be here for you.

After 8 years and 20 launches, I’m sad to say that as of March 31, I, @seanatus.bsky.social, and UberStrategist will no longer represent Nightdive Studios. Today I sent my last Nightdive media alert. FortySeven now has the honor of representing all Atari-owned studios.

I primed and applied zenithal highlights to this Princess Mononoke sculpture I printed. Can't wait to paint 🎨

Spirits of Xanadu. It’s a lot like Routine in concept and came out awhile back. One of the few Nightdive published games when they were dabbling in that. store.steampowered.com/app/312230/S...

Spirits of Xanadu on Steam

At the farthest edge of the explored universe, the research ship Xanadu slumbers in orbit around a mysterious planet. Her systems remain active but there has been no message from her crew for months. ...

Happy Pokémon Day! I remember coming home with straight A's on my report card and my Mom asked me what I'd like as a reward - Pokémon Red of course! I've been illustrating cards of the Eveelutions and having them printed to give away at card shows. Flareon is next!

Dude! 🎉🎉🎉

It's hit 60 here in WA which means I can finally seal this headcrab. I'm thinking of making another and doing a full tutorial - would you be interested in watching something like that on YouTube?

1 Day left! What kinds of stuff would you be interested in seeing for tutorials? I've got plans for printing and painting resin statues, creating life-size props from games, remastering classic comic book art, sculpting foam dioramas etc. What do you want to create?

It's that time of year again for my eBay purge - tons of games, toys, minis and more all starting for a buck. Funds will be going towards producing free video tutorials I'm creating on illustrating, printing, and painting. More on that soon! www.ebay.com/usr/smkick

Hey @playpoe95.bsky.social congrats on securing the rights to "The Dark Eye" would love to hear the story of how you uncovered them. I thought I had turned over just about every stone 🧐

Head of @nightdivestudios.bsky.social, Stephen Kick, shares his top five games of 2025 with us... "The Midnight Walk is a beautifully hand crafted experience that exemplifies what the video game medium is capable of. Exceptional in every aspect from visuals, to music, to story telling."

Put a few more layers of paint on Lamarr here - still have to do a wash, the teeth and some blood splatter 🩸

🤖 Tomorrow, Insects... System Shock remake blasts its way onto Nintendo Switch & Switch 2 on December 18!
