Overly simplifying what I'm doing, but you can see some of the steps to the final render. #CherubDev #UE5

Picking just 9 formative games is hard, but this feels about right

As a kid, my fave side mission in Link’s Awakening was the ghost following you who wanted to see its old house, only to feel sad and ask to be taken to its grave. It’s so bittersweet! ❤️

It's been just over a year since I moved up to the Seattle area and honestly getting out LA was the best decision I could have made. Still trying to find a reasonable home to buy and that's been an exhausting adventure so far, but I'm really looking forward to putting down real roots up here. 🌲🌲

Bird of Prey (Samus Aran from Metroid Ravenous)

Digital painting portraying the Nintendo character Samus Aran, from the Metroid series, as a ravenous creature on top of a totem.
Samus, a woman wearing a full futuristic space suit with giant round shoulders and an arm canom, crouches on top of a totem while holding a pink flame with a off-putting bird claw shaped hand. Her arm canom on the other hand oozes a yellow substance. She looks at the camera like she has just noticed us.

Young Link is a nasty little gross wet baby, but I'm still very much excited to play Ocarina again, especially with free camera and a jump button

Combolands kicks ass. This was my best non-endless run by a landslide. Maritime + Commercial. 🔥🔥 I didn't even get any synergies going.. just a crazy pair of heirlooms. We take those wins.

Been on an incremental games kick lately for some reason and I discovered this one right as it released. Really enjoyed it! It's a little deceptive in that it's not *really* a town builder, but it really got its hooks in me and gave me something to do while house-hunting and exercising

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, here's a new interview with me talking to The Side Quest - a financial analysis for games site. Very much centered on the questionable finance and business model of GenAI, and the implications of that for the industry www.thesidequest.biz/p/luke-dicke...

thesidequest.biz

Luke Dicken (Former Head of AI at Take-Two) on LLMs: "Not a trillion dollar business that's going to revolutionise everything."

Two games shipped generative assets, were found out afterwards, and were commercially successful anyway. What is left is a cost argument, and Dicken expects the price of frontier models to rise.

I was surprised how much I actually got into this - the story and writing didn't really do itself any favors, but the actual moment-to-moment repair activities and hardware accuracy of all the consoles was so damned good. It really brought me back to all the modding I did in the 2000s 🔥

I know the industry is in a dire state right now for jobs but If any indie studios see this and need an additional programmer, PLEASE let me know ASAP! my partner @barndone.bsky.social is a great generalist programmer and needs a home! Vancouver on 1 salary isn't going to cut it for long 😓

All the people who are anti-Chadley or want to mute Chadley, I have one question: If Chadley disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through Final Fantasy VII without him or the Chadley menu? Imagine Chadley was suddenly banned. Would you actually be willing to give him up?

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you
