One thing I never did was a post-mortem of Sir. Perhaps this is as good a time and place as any to talk about some of that. It started in 2010 when Channel 4 had some money to spend on making educational games. For some reason they asked me. ->thread

A 3D environment featuring a wolf head mounted for display above a fireplace.

Surprise! I didn't bother making a separate asset for just the head. The rest of the wolf's body is actually squished up real good like an accordion and hidden inside the fireplace wall.

there are so many types of games in like the mid tier commercial game space that would have never been made in the past coming out now. the landscape has been continually transforming artistically in so many ways. it's just can be hard to see because there's a lot of other stuff surrounding it

I don't know why they keep letting me get away with stuff like this, but I got to write about Garn47. A janky little free game that was once a hidden bonus in a Friday Night Funkin' mod. Now a patreon-funded phenomenon with a rabid following picking apart every update for ARG-esque lore tidbits.

pcgamer.com

Once hidden in a Friday Night Funkin' fangame, surreal free exploration sandbox Garn47 gets a major makeover with the 'Glorgle update'

We've no idea what a Glorgle is but I'm sure someone's going to find out soon.

I didn't want to say much till I felt it was confirmed, but I learned today that Viktor Antonov, our visionary art lead on HL2, has died. I don't have details. Just sadness. Brilliant and original. Made everything better.

Last week I was lucky enough to debut CARtography at Play//Space hosted by the Squiggly River Game Collective, alongside great new local games. Turned out driving & winching an eight wheeled Greek column up a mountain while towing a bust - was an audience hit - & some endured to finish the game!
