What a joy and honor it was to work on this project with this team. Special thanks to @widunder.bsky.social and @shumface.bsky.social for the opportunity to be a part of it. Wildgate is a ton of fun and you should jump on it!

After 16 years doing it professionally its still nice to have those moments of "I can't believe I get to animate for a living." I love animation.

Wow congrats to everyone on Team 4 who pushed to unionize. Also shout-out to Foster Elmendorf who is quoted in this article. Its been years since we worked together but I remember them as one the kindest, enthusiastic devs on the team. OW has a phenomenal test group.

Thanks Mike! This team had a solid set of core principles that I believe in. Excited to see where it goes. FYI your Animation Director book has been invaluable. This team has put a lot of trust in me so its nice to have some expert guidance.

No, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wasn't "made" by 30 people Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's credits are a lot bigger than "30 developers".

Food for thought. External QA, animators, voice actors, and musicians deserve to be part of the narrative of game makers.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) horse animation with lead character animator Christiane Meister. Awesome to see an animator so in love with the subject.

Slide: "Make inputs instant, and fight any animator who tells you otherwise. Fighting animators is easy, because of the long intro animations they do before each swing". Image is of the oddworld remaster I almost worked on many years ago, but made TWA instead.

I miss when I was this publicly cheeky. This is a taste thing, but also, at the time, I was annoyed by how unresponsive things were trending. Having worked on more mechanically complex games since, I'm less militant and more understanding, but still.. easy magic trick to make the game feel better.

Last night I was asked to reshare a talk I did back in 2017, which didn't get filmed the many times I gave it.

Let's do it as a thread. I've not done an informational thread on here before, interested to see how folks like it.

(forgive obvious stuff, it was ever so slightly fresher 8 years ago)

Whitney and I got a chance to talk about the care and craft that went into bringing the stop motion style to life in South of Midnight.

Just a couple more hours until the game is available in early access!!!
