Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

Australia Did It - Reveal Trailer
YouTube video by MysticForge Australia Did It - Reveal Trailer

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

the way of the gun: part 2 of building a better shooter So! Last year, I wrote a thread on social media talking about how much I missed a specific style of first person shooterโ€Šโ€”โ€Šthey just donโ€™tโ€ฆ

I'm BAAAAAAACK!

That's right! it's me, Doc, and I'm here to tell you all about guns in first person shooters, hopefully helping you be way more creative in your weapon design by breaking 'em down into the basics

that's right, it's FPS Design 102: da guns

letโ€™s reconsider how we talk about video games Thereโ€™s that moment before a tornado where the humidity gets unbearable, the skyโ€Šโ€”โ€Šwhich is often mostly gargantuan cumulonimbus toweringโ€ฆ

Hey. I've written a new article.

One of the difficulties in talking about "how can we do something better" is that it means we gotta talk about what isn't going well.

I wrote this in the hopes that reading it would give you tools to write work you're proud of.
