I was interested in taking a peek into my working habits.

Back in 2008 when Gravity Bone was being made, it went through a number of prototypes.

The Indiecade International Festival of Independent Games announced their game lineup, and Quadrilateral Cowboy was fortunate enough to be included.

As mentioned in a previous post, I plunked out another multiplayer 7DFPS project.

Yesterday I released the initial version of Guru.

edit: Guru is now updated to version 1.1 I made a 7DFPS project.

In anticipation of the upcoming 7DFPS festivities, I packaged a stripped-down version of the Doom3 engine (the engine I’m currently using for Quadrilateral Cowboy).

Everything’s diesel in Quadrilateral Cowboy.

My friend Sanjay Madhav and I recorded a podcast together: Extended Memory.

I organized a group photo for this week’s Humble Weekly Sale: (Ultimately, the rhino didn’t eat the bird, but not for lack of trying.)

While watching people play Thirty Flights of Loving at Indiecade East, a few things popped up on my radar.

I was recently making this kitchen area for Quadrilateral Cowboy.

While demoing Quadrilateral Cowboy at PAX 2012, a lot of people asked for autocomplete functionality when typing commands into the game.

Here’s what Blendo Games looks like: I got the standing desk a couple years ago, largely because sitting for ungodly hours every day made me squirrely.

I hopped fences when I was younger.

In Quadrilateral Cowboy, the player can place items in the world.

I set up and ran my first booth showing a few days ago at PAX 2012.

Yesterday, Mossmouth’s Spelunky was released.

I was digging through my old stuff and thought I’d share a tiny prototype: Atom Heart Smasher Click here to download (7.2mb) I grew up on a healthy diet of adventure games.

I see someone I played Day Z for the first time today.

For the past couple days I’ve been working on getting synthesized speech into the Doom 3 engine.

I gave a talk at GDC this year: “Nuke it From Orbit: The Making of Atom Zombie Smasher”.
