With some help from two friends today I was able to push out of the comfort of local, and into networked play for the first time! Both FFA and Team Deathmatch are now playable networked for Xenon Arena #gamedev #unreal #indiedev

Hell yeah. The only good thing that came out of Twitter for me was finding I wasn't the one obscure macross watcher, I just didn't know enough cool macross enjoyers in person

HALO 2 officially launched 21 years ago today, November 9th, 2004.

I was so excited for HALO 2. I bought the soundtrack on CD and jammed out to "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin on my way to the midnight launch to pick up my copy.

Years of LAN parties with friends would follow. Great memories.

I am so glad to finally be working on new systems properly again in Alepha. I love the tank game but Alepha has my heart. Especially now its viable on controller with the aim assist

We've been working on something exciting at Durandal. Alepha is not going anywhere and is actually going faster with 'Tank Game' (really need a name for it). Its been so much fun. Arena shooter feel with some wipeout and mario party. Exciting to share the demo in the coming months.

Halo is the most important part of my personal experiences growing up. Halo 2s special edition disc 2 bts video is why im a game dev. Nothing will ever beat Halo 1-3 splitscreen / LAN.

I miss the old days of HALO so much lately, y'all.

It's hard to convey just how special that time between HALO 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach was.

I miss couch co-op, Forge craziness, laughing together, playing slayer with friends... but it's all bittersweet now.

Do you have any fond HALO memories?

GameStop's response to one of their stores still having a 'Halo 3' mural from 2007:

"We'll take it down when something better comes out"

Small break from Alepha, tried something smaller and more in the arcade style. Still a local multiplayer game though! #gamedev #unreal
