2d Game Art Guru

Mention on Affinity Spotlight – as one of the artists of the Affinitober.

This month is always a special creative treat with a lot of challenges running on a daily basis – inktober, vectober, and affinitober [specific to Seri’s Affinity tool set].

Trihex Studios: delighting 40M players with analytics

Game Analytics

GameAnalytics gave a voice to Redcliff’s silent majority. Eric and Tae discovered early on that most developers can end up only listening to a few very vocal players. But those players often aren’t representative of the entire player base. For one, over half of Roblox’s players are under 12 years old.

iHobo

In 2023, the game I'm most proud of in my long and distinguished career as a game designer will be twenty years old. Although I've worked on several million-selling games, it is the more modest-selling Ghost Master that has garnered the greatest number of fans from any of my game designs - even Discworld Noir doesn't come close.
