A few work in progress shots.

Brightly lit room so I could see where the hell I was placing props.

Always love seeing a level designer leaving a calling card in their work. (American Truck Simulator)

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.

Shouts to whichever Silent Hill: Townfall dev used a blue screen of death as an interesting moody light source in this office area.

The town of St. Amelia is based on a village in Fife, but in the game it's a settlement on an island.

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.

Seeing a five quid powercard in a Silent Hill game is mangling my mind more than any of the faceless shambling horrors.

The phone box savepoints in Townfall being operated by a company called Red Square Telecoms is a nice touch.

If you grew up working class in Scotland in the '90s you'll remember having to slot one of these bad boys in the meter simply to not freeze to death in the dark.

Reorganised my special corner and I think it's looking really good. Very important to have a nice corner, in which to do your things.

The lighting, the architecture, the painterly textures, the oppressive atmosphere... still an absolutely incredible looking thing. 14 years old!

This book from 2002 is an incredible time capsule of Y2K graphic/web design. Absolute goldmine if you're into that aesthetic, and also a kind of mausoleum for a visually interesting internet that no longer exists. 🔗 archive.org/details/tasc...

Shout out to anyone ancient enough to remember extremely pre-YouTube website CHV, which would upload FMVs from Final Fantasy games that you'd have to download overnight on your shitty 56k modem.

Settled an old score by finishing the GTA: San Andreas mission Interdiction, which was the exact point 20 years ago where I got mad, quit, and never finished it.
