Now that I’ve tried Mercurial’s interactive commit curses interface, I can never go back to any other VCS prompt-based solution! Love this.
The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
Note that I also put a Velcro strip in the back, to keep the power cable in place for easily plugging it in!
My guitarist made me this pedal board, so I added Velcro strips to stick my pedals on it. Ran out of space for the SansAmp but I found flathead Ernie Ball cables that save room! Now it fits!
9 Things Learned While Building Frostbite’s Cinematics Tools
My GDC talk for this year, “9 Things Learned While Building Frostbite’s Cinematics Tools”, is up on the GDC Vault! Sadly it’s not in the free offering, it seems.
Just like last year, this was part of the Tools Tutorial Day, a full day track focused on tools programming, organized by the fine folks at The Toolsmiths (sign up for the Toolsmiths Slack!).
I hope you find something interesting in this talk!
I had missed this couple-days-old news that John Wick was joining Chaosium! Excellent! https://www.chaosium.com
I’ve been waiting for a good successor to Aliens vs Predator for a long time, and since I loved playing as the Alien, this new Darkborn game almost looked like it! But, sadly: no wall crawling 🙁 https://www.ign.com
The past 2 days we had Terminal City Tabletop Convention here and I played 3 RPG games! It had been a long time since I played instead of GMing and it’s nice to just have to show up and not prepare anything 😋
I’m not sure what “boutique hotel” means but I’m pretty sure it means “badly designed”.
Of course I barely arrived at the airport that I already run into game dev people I know, and spot a couple others I follow on Twitter… it’s GDC time! 😅
Next week is GDC so, just like last year, I’ll be happy to have 30min meetings with whoever wants to know about Frostbite, EA Vancouver, engine programming, cinematics, cameras, or whatever else you think I’m vaguely qualified to talk about! Note that, for the first time, Frostbite will actually have recruiters on site, too!
