I'm extremely rusty at SENTRY as I've mostly been working on tutorial stuff lately. So here's some footage of me in a panic whilst testing Hardcore mode... 😅

If I could go back in time and tell teenage Andy running a Silent Hill 2 fansite in 2001 that one day he'd be in the credits of an actual Silent Hill game, he'd probably be like "Cool."

My name in the special thanks section of Silent Hill: Townfall's credits.

Just heard the very sad news that a former Software Creations friend passed away recently. All of his friends knew him as 'Bone'. He was a friendly, fun, knowledgeable guy who started in QA at Creations back in the early 90s, and was recently working on Star Citizen. RIP @bone6502.bsky.social

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

A Post Office (well, 'Post Service') counter.

It would be wonderful if we could stop framing games as studio versus studio. All developers care about all games. I've never once heard a developer talk about another in this way. Most are simply glad to be doing what they love, while watching others do the same.

8 years later, I've updated Pearly! 😅 Pearly was my micro first-person puzzle-platformer made for the 2018 Mapcore Door Challenge. I fixed a bunch of bugs, improved performance and restored some things that had broken during the engine upgrade. Out now & free on itch sean-noonan.itch.io/pearly

It still annoys me no end that so many popular games are absolutely sauceless, dry, run of the mill experiences and then Marathon is just over here with a spiralling player count putting out fan art like this.

No way Kavinsky died. The guy was foundational to the synthwave resurgenge. I mainlined his Outrun album back when I lived in France. I know everyone loves Nightcall, so let me suggest another banger from Outrun, First Blood RIP Kavinsky. music.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ueu...

The only downside to adding the lighting-only debug mode is that every time a chunk of level gets built I can't help myself from toggling it over and over lol

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

A (somewhat simplified) look at the light baking in Compound Fracture. All entirely custom, vertex based, and completely separate from Unity's light baking.
