It was a Thursday. I have no recollection what we did on Friday.

best video game trailer, ever. m.youtube.com/watch?v=t59w0P…

Whoa. Haven’t seen this in YEARS. Doesn’t hold up great, but I could fill a book with stories of trying to put this teaser together, let alone trying to ship the first game. Still proud of the effort & where it led us. The sequel was a breeze comparatively. 🫠

Sorry for the repost, but I refuse to “subscribe” to the blue check mafia, so my reach has been strangled. For those looking for funding, I wrote an extensive article w my findings & some tips from publishers & devs. It’s free. Download the PDF & send it to a dev in need. 🙏

Huge congrats to @evan_wells on being inducted into the DICE Hall of Fame! We simply would not have been able to ship all those great games without your support & guidance. And personally speaking, I would not be who I am or where I am without your support. 🙏 Congrats!

Utterly devastating news. Vince shaped the industry we all play in today. We simply would not have the games & genres we have without Vince’s work. He & his creations truly inspired and challenged me & I’m a better creator thx to Vince. My condolences to his family & friends. 🙏
