I wonder what's the most technically influential videogame of all time? I mean, a game that if you removed it from history then hundreds of other games over many different genres would suffer without the systems it introduced etc. You know, like an rpg that brought games a health 'number' rather than just 3 lives, or a game that pioneered the use of two joysticks etc.?

Has anyone ported Doom’s monsters into Quake? There appear to be a few ports of Quake content into Doom engines, but I want to go the other way. I’m specifically interested in the 2D sprite characters in a fully 3D world. #doom #quake #mod

Are there m/any modern 3D games that do looping levels, where leaving the edge of the map on one side continues into the other side — Pac-Man style? Feels like it would be more fun to do this in Battlefield than “return to the combat area”? #gamedev #leveldesign

This #Zelda + #Doom mod, “Legend of Doom” makes me so happy. It’s all of Zelda 1 very lovingly converted to play as a first-person game. It all works so well! https://www.moddb.com/mods/legend-of-doom

Anyone know of an app or driver or tool that can make my Windows PC display look/feel like a CRT television with 480i resolution, scanlines, etc?

I'd love a general solution that I can use for playing old games AND watching old shows. The blurriness used to be a feature.

The problem with being a game developer who loves mods is how hard it is to leave well-enough alone. “Yeah this mod is pretty cool, but how hard would it be for me to change just this one thing?” Absolutely devastating to my plan to do as little as possible this weekend.

No but seriously, why every paper has to use greek letters with multiple greek letter subscripts for everything

Immediate mode GUI in Unity is both one of the most awesome and tragic features in the engine. It’s near perfect my needs, which are basically “print debug information to the screen”. I weep for the day that I have to do any more than that though. #unity #imgui #ui

This awesome video of Voxel Doom makes me want to dig deeper into Doom modding, but I gotta finish my Quake stuff first!

I can't stop thinking about how Superman, Spider-Man, and Super Mario have the same color schemes, strikingly similar names, and are all the front-man for their respective universes. This can't be an accident, right?!

Hey #gamedev + #FOSS friends, what are the most awesome open-source tools, utilities, and libraries out there for game development?

Having seen under the hood of the Halo 1 engine, I can confirm there's lots of goodies in there. And yes, third-person Halo is pretty dang fun! #halo #gamedev https://www.pcgamesn.com/halo/rts-third-person-restored

Inspired by the recent #Apple announcements at #WWDC, I have created the world’s perfect smartphone! I expect to be taking preorders in the fall. Boost and follow to help spread the word about #TFiPhone! Here’s Mark 1:
