if you can find it, immediately drop whatever it is you're doing and go play this (windows only (for now?)). the game OOZES passion. such a fantastic love letter to metroid prime that's genuinely enjoyable on its own merits. also the movement tech is fun as hell

hearing the quake brutalist jams get a mention on stage at quakecon was a bit trippy 😅
the two last things i worked on were released/announced today. the 30th quake update with dawn of the machine, and the evercade doom port. the quake update also includes an id vault with a lot of in development quake material, almost all of it seen for the first time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uf4...

imagine if they fired every band member every time an album came out
after almost 16 years my time with id is done as layoffs ravage everyone across the companies. i'm going to be fine money wise, but if you have money to spare, donate it to the game worker hardship fund! uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun...

sucks to see such an amazing and useful program go down such an incredibly scummy route. hope people can do what the folks over at UZDoom did to GZDoom and effectively wipe out Trenchbroom's relevancy with a fork that doesn't permit any AI bullshit. I wish that wasn't necessary, but here we are ig 😐
for anyone concerned about AI code in TrenchBroom, the AI agents file was added in March 2026 (github.com/TrenchBroom/...) so the last no-AI version was likely v2025.4 (github.com/TrenchBroom/...)
The SPRAWL zero demo is OUT NOW! We're thrilled you can finally get your hands on the demo on Steam now! To let you fully dive in, we’ve included the first two levels. So much hard work from everyone here at MAETH, building the game of our dreams! store.steampowered.com/app/4247830/...

i always thought the premise of clive barker's jericho was too cool to waste on such a forgettable game, so probably that one
Game Devs, If you could wave a magic wand and get the rights and money to personally remake ONE game, which one would you pick? I'd remake Eternal Darkness. And I'd add back in the cut levels.
this is like the third time a studio has pulled this excuse when including genAI and it's the third time i've had to say that this issue of genAI placeholder assets is redundant because game devs had a more intuitive solution 30 years ago

WIP everything right now, but even with the placeholders this enemy feels so intimidating. Pure bullet-hose action. #gamedev

Quake Brutalist Jam began as a celebration of old-fashioned shooter level design, but its latest version is one step away from being a game in its own right

screenshots of the startmap I built for qbj3 or Quake Brutalist Jam III some fancy bits in here will be in the coming update, like the paintings and plaques
Entombed in Concrete by @stickflip.bsky.social Really enjoyed this one. Very dark! Definitely had a scarier vibe than most in QBJ1.
I also made a map for it - "The Oppressing Facade". Thanks a ton to the QBJ3 team for making basically a new super polished and audiovisually stunning game. I can't stress enough how high the production value for it is!
had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now! there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too! www.slipseer.com/index.php?re... this was a tremendous group effort, I couldn't be happier!
Concrete Maxima, my entry to the Quake Brutalist Jam III #screenshotsaturday #quake #trenchbroom #leveldesign
Now i've played through every map in QBJIII (except the QBJR maps) I can safely say it's extremely good. Love most of the mechanical changes, new models, textures, ui work, sound design and a mountain of good maps from newbies and vets alike. Top shelf jam. Want to go back and play it all again.
super thrilled to finally release Quake Brutalist Jam 3! an absolutely insane amount of work was put into this pack, so much so that we decided to put together a standalone release, no purchase of Quake required! www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...
