Aaaand, my website's fucked.

Looks like autodestruct autodestroyed itself.

Technical difficulties. Please stand by.

Thumb War : web version now live!

I posted a browser-friendly adaptation of my recent demo, Thumb War : Design Iteration Combat Simulation on autodestruct. Feel free to peruse and check for spelling errors and gross artistic oversights!



It took loads of time/soulsearching to put together, and while I may expand it later (Little is said about, say, composition.), I'm done with it for now. It was sort of like therapy.

If I'm ever to put together an instructional/promotional DVD, it will be about something wholly divorced from the world of game design and other pipeline-driven art...which I only pretend to understand anyway!

Necronomicook @ 17!

Dominance War results are in! Considering the sillier tone of my entry, I'm surprised to have placed.

Thanks to Fredrik Hultqvist, Chris Robinson, Grant Gosler, Andy Park, Jimmy O'Ready, Minoh Kim and Cecil Kim for all their kind comments, and for bumping Necronomicook into the finals.

Also, mad props to my man Justin Albers for rating high as well! Vigil Games, represent!

Paul and Vitaly sittin' in a tree...

Hoooo shit! Got my picture taken with the mighty Vitaly Bulgarov, whose Gnomon DVD is currently in the wings!


<---It was nice of him to crouch down, no?

More images as they surface! Thanks to Travis and Alex at Gnomon for their hospitality, and to everyone who provided encouragement before/during/after my Thumb War talk. And big thanks to Joshua The James Shaw and Andy Murray for amusing texts and some tasty-ass bagels. See you guys in San Diego!

Necronomicook finalist / couch girls

Necronomicook, my entry in Dominance War IV, placed in the top 75*, which was really all I set out to do. Huzzah!

Here's some girls I drew on the living room couch yesterday.**


* update : in top 25 now!
** girls were not on actual couch; I was.
