Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

👻Shadows of the Afterland is OUT NOW!!!👻

Carolina arrives in the afterlife, in the wrong year and the wrong soul.

A long, bumpy road culminates today, and I couldn’t be prouder of this game. ⚫✨

Would you help me spread the word?

It is absolutely wild that Firewatch came out a decade ago today. I don't think any of us then could even get close to fathoming the ways it which it would resonate with people. I'm still unspeakably grateful to anyone who spent time in this (lightly fictional) corner of the place I grew up.

Today is the tenth anniversary of Firewatch's release. It remains the thing I'm most proud to have worked on. There's more of me inside of Firewatch than in any other game—and I have no doubt there are others on the team who would say the same about themselves. Thanks to everyone who ever played it.

Prince of Persia was an experiment in rotoscoping. It put lifelike animation on '80s home computers.

'AI' is a dick move, redux Writing at the end of the world, from Hveragerði, Iceland

"Debating people who look past “chatbot psychosis”, the dismantling of the education system, …generated CSAM images, the overt attacks on the media industries, or the ultra-right’s glee about “AI”, … is never going to work."

Mississippi Power commissioned this educational video that plays like an isometric game. I did art direction, animation and code on it. The child actors were adoarable.

IF I SHIT MYSELF EVERY MINUTE, AND YOU ONLY POOP ONCE A DAY, WHO IS GOING TO WIN?

There’s a whole children’s book about how “slow and steady wins the race” she should try reading that some day instead of generating 400 books noone’s gonna read.
