So far I've spent approximately 15 out of my 23 years in games working on projects that were cancelled in production or pre-production... It's not much comfort, but at least these live service games at some point 'existed'. At least (in theory!) you get to show the work you did.

#My9Games FWIW. I picked DOTT, but it could have been any number of Lucasarts games.

(also really wanted to include Castle Quest on the BBC Micro but it wasn't in the database...)

The film follows an Irish refugee girl and a Choctaw boy who meet in 1847 New York and journey across America together, drawing on the real historical bond between Ireland and the Choctaw Nation.

a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

The quality of Tiny Toon Adventures varied a lot depending on which animation studio was producing the episode, but the good ones are absolutely beautiful!

A bestiary entry featuring a creature called a Moktopod.
The description is as follows:
"It moves erratically and is constantly shaking. Be wary any traveller who carries beans in Puddle Woods."

Guess I'm making portals now. Maybe I could use the stencil buffer somehow here.

Color keys I painted for the Mitchell’s vs the Machines back in 2019. Was really lucky to work on this movie. Amazing first project in animation to be a part of.

The fields are still in use for grazing and often there is rather angry bull on the property.

Abandoned in Grey County.

On Grey County Rd 31 sits an abandoned farmhouse. As far as I can find, its been abandoned since the 70s.

The floors are rotted through and back had fallen down, it is not safe to enter

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

I’ve been playing Dead Island 2, and the atmosphere is really great. It offers a surprisingly wide variety of locations and moods.

Wow, that looks great! It had completely passed me by that the setting included versions of Santa Monica and Venice.

While playing Requiem last night I could faintly hear someone shouting 'Help me! I need your help!' etc., which I thought was coming from an NPC in the game, but turned out it was my wife trying to get my assistance to catch a mouse that one of the cats had brought in! 😬 (We cornered it eventually).
