Hot Dog food item from the Skylanders video games.
🌭 Video Game Hot Dogs was you?!
I love this kind of thing, and relished the opportunity to bring hot dogs to the Skylanders universe! 🌭
Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck recommended we include healthier food choices! 🌭🌭🌭
🌭 …and Hot Dog from Skylanders Giants would like a word!

As @gamedevmap.com grows from a "me" community service project into a "we" nonprofit, you'll see fewer personal posts.
My mom once wrote what she was grateful for about me:
"Your ability to dream dreams, and your tenacity to make them a reality, even if it takes a long time."
Missing her today.
This is hard for the creative work we do in video games, but one bit of feedback I get from people on the outside is to quantify your bullet points, like optimization gains by percentage, number of people managed, units sold, et cetera. This something I continue to struggle with, myself.

I will take every opportunity, including this one, to share the @igda.org’s Credits SIG page with its resources:

A little bird told me the stork develops games all by himself with Generative AI. Definitely the stork.

It was the origin of friendships that have lasted decades. May the Force be with you, Starfighter team.
Starfighter was the project where I grew to feel responsible for my larger team, and saw what was possible when coworkers could come together with trust and friendship beyond the traditional game development silos of art, design, engineering, and production.
We had a secure room at LucasArts where we could view in-progress footage from the film as it came together. Using that reference, I built an in-game PS2 version of the city of Theed, ultimately cut from the shipping game.
We developed the game in parallel with the production of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, with the privilege of telling an original story that lived adjacent to the film. I was thrilled to work on something closer to a simulation after my time on Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for the N64.
February 19, 2026 marked 25 years since Star Wars: Starfighter launched on PlayStation 2.
I optimized the Naboo Starfighter from a densely triangulated high-res mesh (no UVs) provided by Industrial Light & Magic, long before procedural mesh reduction and retopology workflows were standard in games.

That’s amazing, @duncanrobson.com!
I wish my parents had kept some of my work from those years, because there’s something magical about witnessing that kind of continuity on a decades-long timescale!

Steam #NextFest begins today! So many indie titles to explore! 🎮
This is why I set gamedevmap.com up as a nonprofit last year. This is a heartbreaking time for the game industry.
Nice work! Glad to see people out in the world are still using Modo! There’s also the #madewithmodo hashtag that may get your posts a bump. 👊
Same. No regrets about doing all my research in early 2024. I was unhappy about where Windows 12 was going, Intel’s chip drama, etc. I was a bit early in planning for this moment, but my M4 MacBook Pro is going to get me through the next couple of hardware cycles and this next chapter in my life.
The #gamedevmap team is actively working on the February data drop.

👋 We see you, @biscuitfactorygames.com! 🇮🇪
I hesitated to post since we don’t know each other, but I wanted to reach out and say I’m very sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace in the days ahead.
That’s part of my gamedevmap dream, too. Trying to figure out how to get there from here.
This #ValentinesDay, we’re sending a little love and appreciation to our #gamedev community around the world, especially those navigating layoffs and studio closures. Here’s to brighter days ahead. 🤍
