Most fun I've ever had making a trailer - the team crushed it with this one.

The team killed it on this one and I’m so excited the way it gives a taste of the themes and ideas for the game.

TFW you realize you've been having so much fun making the game that you forgot to post anything for months 😬

Okay so imagine this, you have no opinions, you have no skills, you have no wants or desires, you are a smooth orb of nothing and our subscription service helps make sure you still cast a shadow that resembles a human being. Sounds sick right?

Sunrise at Mono Lake. From a road trip back in 2021. These limestone tufa towers formed centuries ago, underwater, when the lake was much higher. (What happened? Los Angeles happened, more or less... the early 1900's water wars that drained Mono Lake directly inspired the movie Chinatown.)

Here's a quick look at what goes into designing an environment for GRAFT, from ideation to concept art to an in-engine prototype. #indiedev #indiegame #Unreal5 #survivalhorror

You won't survive without grafts, but that doesn't mean grafts are safe. #indiegame #survivalhorror

What goes into getting your game announced during The Game Awards? Money's a key ingredient, but there's a big payoff in building awareness for your game if you can swing the ante. #indiedev #TheGameAwards

Developing a game: 1000s of inspirations and life experiences fused into a unique and multi-faceted gem via an epic soul breaking journey. Selling a game: List the one game you copied and how your clone is better.

Saw a gaming hot take that said blank slate protags are “lazy and boring”. They may be boring but they are about as far from lazy as a development choice can get. Every aspect of the protag is significantly more complicated/expensive when there’s a wide range of options.

The US has been conquered by people who understand nothing but money, machines & power. The coalition of broligarchs & MAGA, the AI & crypto dudes w/the know-nothings: they oppose everything good & beautiful about being human. The art we make, our bonds of sympathy & solidarity...to them, worthless.

Still very fond of these paintings I did for the NASA 60th Anniversary Tribute show at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social back in 2019. (And hey, prints are 20% off this weekend with code THANKS20 — gallerynucleus.com/artists/mike...)
