Principal render programmer at @DSDambuster working on Dead Island 2.
Opinions are my own and only mine.

@molecularmusing When I see this kind of thing I think we programmers should get more practice saying: "I'm not comfortable with this syntax / logic / process, but that's on me." We don't have to automatically be in love with different modes of thinking.

@panoskarabelas Building grass systems is addictive for render programmers isn't it?!

14 years ago Dead Island made its gory debut.
Today, Dead Island 2 has dragged 20 million Slayers into the sunny chaos of HELL-A.
The next outbreak? Dambuster is already drenched in the work.
The journey is far from over...

Great to see the FLESH system talk is on YouTube now. I missed it going live. https://t.co/nRRSsmwXnR

I've played a lot of video games but to this day the single best thing in any video game is Luigi nervously humming along to the music in Luigi's mansion.

Missed the lights last time so very happy to see them this time.

I've now finished all of the Legacy of Kain games, and I'm my opinion solidified that it deserves a proper new game. None of the games really get as good as the world feels like it deserves.

[Aaron Ridge @aaronridge2]

@LeonThePlum I enjoyed it. The biggest issue for me was that I much preferred some of the campaigns to the others. It was always a sigh when it switched to Jake's campaign. I loved the enemy design though.

People who hate paying the TV licence need to watch more cbeebies that shit is golden.

The Legacy of Kain series deserves its version of God of War 2018.
