What an absolutely surreal experience to see how many people are so excited about this game we're building. Unfortunately I could only be there for one day, but if you're attending, definitely go visit our booth in the Indie Arena!

Strideh's Urban Decay Textures by Strideh The run down remnants of a dying metropolis.

Published my new texture pack, Urban Decay. This on is non-Quake and my first paid texture pack - 50% off for the next 3 days. (If you're only interested in the freebies don't worry, there's more Quake-like texture packs coming around the corner).

Love this from the EA marketing team! Tasteful, understated and 100% necessary to stick talking heads in front of bombed out middle-eastern streets like some creepy AI generated news report. Love to talk about our cool new video game in front of a burning hospital or whatever! Yay Battlefield!

re games industry tho, i don't feel like I've met many private school kids, and all the privately educated adults I know do serious jobs like design real buildings (aka not in Trenchbroom) and think videogames are for kids?

It's funny cause my mum is pure M&S but has been totally skint and done very working class jobs her whole life. She wouldn't go to Waitrose tho, it's too posh.

Try Session with manual catch turned on, or Skater XL with mods. Not far off!

AI slop everywhere, more layoffs, and that Unity news, but this is truly a next level of fucked! Can we all just use Godot, Ubuntu, Blender, and erm.... Gimp? I just want to make stuff and not feel awful about it.

If you work in games in the uk, youโ€™ve already worked with @darbotron.bsky.social. Responsible for a big chunk of our console ports and a lot of the code base, but more importantly a guru and teacher to the team. Darbs is irreplaceably smart and generous of spirit. When I grow up, I wanna be Darbs.

Messing around with some little test scenes for the new texture pack, to identify what's missing and play with the details.
