Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 26/09/2026Over the summer my girlfriend moved in with her cat named Bug. The cat is developing a complex based on how many times I storm out of the office saying "I found another bug!" and "I have to fix this bug!" 070
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 19/09/2026My best friend decided to watch Farscape on my advice while staying up with his newborn so I had to make the baby some custom outfits for his favorite TV show, including one of Pilot. 120
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 17/09/2026My friend sent me this banner ad at the entrance of Walmart. Clearly companies no longer feel like they need to try to earn your business and that your spending is guaranteed. 391
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 08/09/2026I love working with artists to add graffiti to Black Ice. As we keep riffing on the design, we create stories about the fictional artist making the graffiti in the game and connecting their life into the larger story. Going to have some fantastic pieces from @sarkastiklover.bsky.social soon! 062
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 18/08/2026I would hate for another Black Ice prophecy to come true but Quarkus, one of the 5 megacorps of the 2080s, was originally meant to be the laughably implausible byproduct of AWS absorbing Google and then being bought by Facebook. 020
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 06/08/2026It'd be nice if The Matrix IP holders saw this article and let me make them a Matrix-flavored Yakuza game. www.pockettactics.com/new-matrix-g... 010
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 04/08/2026I shared some memories about The Matrix Online with @samcomrie.co.uk and mused how there's never been a better time for a new game set in The Matrix. www.pockettactics.com/new-matrix-g... 161
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 03/08/2026Valve offering some ??? with their cyberpunk sale's marketing copy. 2215
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 03/08/2026I got delayed a few months but I think it's finally time to record that new trailer. 000
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 20/07/2026Adding sender icons to Black Ice's email inbox to give a little more character to the people you do or don't want to work for. 001
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 19/07/2026Xalavier. You have the beautiful opportunity to give him a horse that's ONLY a head. 1150
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 18/07/2026Gave the Dunk Tank more Arcade vibes. If you stand above the tank and someone hits the button, it reduces you to 1hp and rewards you for how much damage you could "tank". 000
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 17/07/2026This week's Black Ice update replaced all the enemy textures with crisp neon outlines, added new menus with proper controller support (almost perfect for Steam Deck), and finalized the Arcade minigames. Plus a bunch of bug and performance fixes. Wishlist it! store.steampowered.com/news/app/311... 152
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 11/07/2026While updating Black Ice's main menus, I improved the character creator and added a couple hundred new random hacker names. We love puns and bad movie references so this one fits right in. 030
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 22/06/2026Adding a final coat of paint and some neon signage to the Arcade booths as I bugfix them. The Dunk Tank deals damage to reduce you to 1hp and rewards you based on how much damage you could tank. 010
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 21/06/2026Clearing more classic SF off my shelves while moving and discovered this strangely optimistic view of Florida in the year 2020 compared to where we actually landed. 240
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 15/06/2026I'm slowly working on a 4-player episodic narrative set on a space station carved inside an asteroid orbiting Jupiter. It's the last gas station at the end of the solar system. Each 30-minute session of Jovian Nights is like an episode of TV where you work together to solve the "crisis of the week" 050
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 13/06/2026School's out, sun's down, time to work on Forbidden Chess forbiddenchess.com 010
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 09/06/2026Really glad I was able to revisit those old memories of The Matrix Online for the documentary. I am still getting messages from people who played it 20 years ago. I've been trying to turn Black Ice into a similar open world experience full of mystery but it's a lot of work! 130
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 08/06/2026I get placed on this blocklist every time I have a productive conversation with you. 260
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 07/06/2026Reading some 60s scifi and I made it 25 pages before I realized the vegans were aliens from Vega and not just particularly obnoxious people on a plant-based diet. 061
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 30/05/2026I've been investing a lot in my local community in recent years with my chess business and educational volunteer work. In the process, I'm learning a lot about how kids (and adults!) learn through play and it's helping me make my games more fun AND more educational. 0100
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 22/05/2026In 2019, I set the date for this quote as 2026 and Black Ice has been a fairly consistent work of prophecy... 0102
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 13/05/2026My game also includes a similar shenanigan where Facebook bought out Google and became a quantum computing megacorp, Quarkus. They're finally preparing to launch the metaverse in the year 2080. 031
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 11/05/2026The worst one sheared my bike in half. Somehow I didn't break a leg so I think I jumped onto the hood last second. I went headfirst through a windshield without a helmet and lost a week of memory (a lucky outcome considering alternatives!) so ultimately I don't think the epic story was worth it. 100
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 05/05/2026If only more people knew that Greek statues are theorized to have actually been extremely colorful in their original state. 110
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 21/04/2026The mor.tar.gz has unrivalled compression and extraction. Unfortunately, it uses that to rain explosives on you. So rude. 3 more models to upgrade before the new trailer... 150
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 17/04/2026At times, I have wondered if it's the "imagine an apple" experiment in effect. Sometimes it feels like no amount of descriptive words or mockups are enough for them to visualize what the finished product would look like other than making a >50% complete version of it. 020
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 14/04/2026If we'd gotten this version of Alien, plus the Jodorowsky/Moebius Dune and that McQuarrie concept for Star Wars, the entire history of sci-fi film might have been more wondrous! 160
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 13/04/2026My garish 3d game for dorks to run around vs its elegant 2d Yawhg-like sequel 120
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 11/04/2026I don't reveal my true face often but @futuregamesshow.bsky.social made a documentary about the end of The Matrix Online MMO and I was lucky to share some stories about the incredible opportunity to design live events and ARGS while improv acting within The Matrix. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez0x... 4283
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 06/04/2026In case you're still looking for eggs today, the Mother of Spiders can lay hundreds of them. Newly remodeled with extra squishy, wet spider eggs. 4 more models to upgrade before the new trailer... 140
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 03/04/2026This was what the old egg looked like that required lots of "huh, more eggs here" prompting. I think the new model at least lets me remove a lot of that text. 120
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 03/04/2026Replacing the visuals for Black Ice's spider eggs. The old ones required a lot of narrative nudges saying "whoa, is that an egg??" because it didn't have many egg-like qualities. Does the new design telegraph that it will hatch a spider if you bump into it or let it hatch? 460
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 01/04/2026Drastically expand all the absurd laws related to animals. 010
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 30/03/2026With the image cropped as I was scrolling, I mistook this for a cathedral 150
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 28/03/2026The armored Ghost in the Shellfish is one of Black Ice's oldest enemies. An upcoming mission explores the rumor that they're powered by the forcibly uploaded consciousnesses of corporate prisoners. 6 more models to upgrade before the new trailer... 120
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 27/03/2026In addition to all the spidery and aquatic critters, Black Ice hosts a variety of plant life: Root Kits, Daisy Chains, Power Plants, and Floral Booms. 7 more models to upgrade before the new trailer... 130
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 26/03/2026E-snails became the primary way to send data across the Supermesh. Just be glad it's not another meeting! 8 more models to upgrade before the new trailer... 120
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 22/03/2026Scorpions that shoot lasers from their tails? Black Ice's got that too. Plus it's on sale this week! store.steampowered.com/app/311800/B... 9 more models to upgrade before the new trailer. 130
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 17/03/2026Black Ice also has a flying manta ray. 10 more models to upgrade before the trailer. 132
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 16/03/2026So many modern problems come from equating wealth with intelligence and trusting the wealthiest to safeguard things they don't even understand. Humanity has thousands of years of introspection to draw from, not just in Europe but China as well. 040
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 13/03/2026Accidentally made the AOE bufferfish the most huggable enemy. 11 more models to upgrade before the trailer. 1134
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 12/03/2026Electric jellyfish complete. 12 more models to upgrade before the trailer. 171
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 11/03/2026This is what it looked like before I overhauled the shaders. I think the crisp angular version looks scarier and has a more readable silhouette. Plus you can actually see its little teeths now. 150
Nonadecimal @nonadecimal.com · 11/03/2026Updating all the Black Ice enemy textures to match my latest shader and bloom upgrades. 13 more models to go before I can record the new trailer! 3251
