Devastating news today. Richard “Levelord” Gray was such a great guy. Like many of our friends, I wish I could have hung out with him again. He was full of life, a gentle soul, and an excellent level designer. He was called “Levelord” for a reason.

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

thatgamecompany is one of the most influential and singular game studios of our era. this is the first of three videos we're producing about its enduring legacy. the tale of a group of young people who dared to carve a new path for video games.

fair enough mate. well I'm glad you did. the gravity of our parents can be a difficult force to overcome. especially as kids. clearly you had enough within you to make it work. but it doesn't forgive it, you know.

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

that’s rough man, sorry. pressure and diamonds etc but man, parental support should be unconditional

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

some of the particulars are not things I'd feel comfortable on social media, haha. but I definately enjoy being a guy and feel like I am one. but I've had trans friends from a fairly young age and I understood where they were coming from. the idea as gender as a sliding scale makes total sense to me

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

it's come up a lot over my life honestly. I do wonder if my brain or body chemistry somewhat affects how I see the world. I do feel more empathetic and emotional than most men. and I warm to male friends who are also. but I'm not an expert on any of this.

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

oh that's awesome. no I feel I am a male. I've certainly asked myself those questions though. I definitely idolize and feel more comfortable around women a lot of the time but I suspect it has a lot more to do with my sister and mother, and rough boys school experience than anything else.

for me it was Wednesday Adams (who was 5 years older than me at the time I should mention) and later Angelina Jolie in Hackers. just cool, confident & didn't care what other people thought of them. i also suspect I just wanted to BE them at that age. Alanis Morissette was my fav singer then too hah

no i'm with you, i grew up around nuns and had family members who were nuns and this is simply too much

My favorite game of last year. Perfect for this time of year too. Don’t miss out on the sale.

I got banned from the Man City subreddit but I’ve launched an appeal.

It’s such a weird game but I absolutely adore it. I think it comes from a very personal place though. About the brutality of poverty and masculinity and the way (I imaged) you need to present yourself in that world to “succeed”.

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Wow! I didn’t realize you had collaborated. I can see the similarities in world building between you both though. That feeling of the human touch.

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

yea i think it's less easy these days where you need more particular skillsets to leverage, but certainly a good rule of thumb is to employ people with different perspectives. we opened the HL1 doc with Karen Laur who was largely responsible for the look of the game because she had an artist eye

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

absolutely outstanding. when I was lucky enough to visit Arkane in Lyon I walked around the town laughing. you could see his inspiration on every street. a true artist.

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

every game has a human story behind it. the architecture of a childhood home. the crazy new ideas that came into view in adolescence. the relationships they held close, or suffered through. uncovering these personal truths just makes me love games even more. Viktor was an artist. he gave us himself.

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Viktor Antonov of Half-Life 2 fame was an environment artist on this game. He studied architecture in university and his ability to build contemporary worlds is what got him the Valve gig. We talked about doing a Kingpin focused interview but he tragically passed a few months later. He was a gent.

Thanks so much man, their eagerness to be as open as possible has made putting these together very satisfying. Really appreciate it!

This video does a great job of illustrating the incredible complexity of launching a live service game to unpredictable outcomes, being measured in planning and investment in case of failure, and the massive challenges of scaling rapidly in the event of success. Highly recommend giving it a watch.
