If you're interested in hearing some thoughts about the Alien: Isolation 2 demo, I joined AVPGalaxy on their latest podcast to discuss all about it!

Just back from playing the Alien: Isolation 2 demo (thanks for the invite @creative-assembly.com!) - it's brief, but great fun. Can't wait to see more!

Got my first copies of Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut in, and I'm blown away by the production values. Thanks to @lostincult.co.uk for not only saving the book from an Alien 3-style fiery lava abyss, but making the best possible version of it. 🔗 www.lostincult.co.uk/perfectorgan...

Check out today's OpenCAGE update for some cool new functionality in the 3D viewer - select, translate, and rotate objects! Also - new previews for scripted entities like position markers and triggers!

Digging through some old screenshots and found these photos I took of Loch Lomond in Scotland and then recreated in MS Flight Simulator.

IWGB Game Workers Union @gameworkers.co.uk · 31/10/2025
This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Production designer Andy Nicholson: "The Yutani design motif for the Nostromo was so strong that any other ship of that period in the Yutani fleet would just take design elements from it. I’ve been on both an aircraft carrier and a cruiser in the Royal Navy as part of research on previous shows."

Perfect Organism, my book about horror masterpiece Alien: Isolation, is currently 65% off on Amazon UK. That's a mere £6.99 for a hardback copy, which will never be printed again when the paperback comes out later this year. 👀 www.amazon.co.uk/Perfect-Orga...

First look at a scene from Alien: Earth (TV show, 2025). Showrunner Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion) promised he'd draw inspiration from the art direction of Alien (1979), and it shows! After all, this show takes place only 2 years before the Ridley Scott's movie.

It's been a long road this one, and probably one of the heftiest commissions I've done so far, but this might be one of my favourite pieces I've done. Alien 3 is (somewhat controversially) my favourite Alien movie. I love Alien to absolute death and it's the better film, but still. That dog xeno!

It took me 7-8 years to start it. Alien: Isolation is just a gem you won't forget so easily. So, if you decide to play it and take some shots, I wrote a little something with some help. Thanks @mattfiler.co.uk and Ryan J Gray for their help. anticowl.github.io/2025/01/21/A...

Just over 9 years ago while poking around in the files of Alien: Isolation I came across an alternate storyline that got cut a year before the game shipped. @ultrabrilliant.xyz did a great writeup about some bits of it, check out the article if you've not seen! www.pcgamer.com/alien-isolat...

There are really only two "mystery box" shows that I felt were worth my time last year and this coming year (for "mystery box shows," think LOST): FROM and SILO. As always, your mileage may differ.

Oh dang, we're 135% funded with less than 72 hours to go. If you've ever wanted to learn more about how AI is actually used in games (not all *that other stuff*) this is for you! Including how to do it yourself! The more funds/backers we get, the more content we can put into the course.

"Generate a playable world on a spaceship". While the technology is fascinating on paper, it's a little sad to read this when you're running an account that's dedicated to showing the impact of human creation on fiction (and therefore on our lives).
