Screenshot of Metroid Prime 4's credits featuring the Cinematics team A screenshot of Samus in her Metroid Prime 4 armor aiming her weapon at the camera.

Getting to lead the storyboard team for a Nintendo project was a dream come true. What an honor to get to contribute to the legacy of Metroid with this incredible crew.

I adore Weychester. In its streets and wyndes one can play the game of guessing which secret society lives behind which door. Here the Order of the Clapperclaw, there the Grand Lodge of Mirrors. The Duat Club is easy to spot, but many other entrances demand our pondering. – #CLNolan

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

The Metroid visual retrospective artbook seems to be stuck pre delivery on Amazon, mine got randomly canceled this morning for no reason. It seems to be available everywhere else so if you preordered it on Amazon (at least .fr or .com.be) might as well cancel it and get it somewhere else.

A screenshot of text on a website

The title text says: I don’t know anything

The body text says: If you’ve never made games before you have a huge advantage. If I’d have had any industry experience before making GMod I probably would have never made it. Your naivety is a huge advantage, it’s your edge.

Don’t try to emulate people who are in the industry – do your own thing, make your own mistakes, find your own way. It’ll lead you down a bunch of paths that no-one will ever take because they know the ‘right way’. The world needs those paths explored.

A quote from Garry Newman [Garry's Mod] I think about often

Pencil drawing of a clock with an ornamental clock attached to the war damaged and restored church. A traceried window was removed to create a wide arch into an open space used as a peace garden.

The clock and archway of St Martin le Grand church in Coney Street, York. The clock is still missing the naval officer from the top. The building was badly damaged in 1942 but the clock survived.

Little known story about my time at Retro Studios. A very large portion of the Prime series concept art was done traditionally, and most of it was unceremoniously shoved into a flat file. I got permission and a small budget to organize, frame and hang select images (from DKC as well) in the studio.
