Gettin' wizardly with the chin whiskers.

I may be biased, but it didn't make a particular engine a multi-industry standard for nothing.

Decided to make a Ko-fi thing, in case anyone wants to further support my work beyond waiting for the next release. Much love to y'all ❤️ ko-fi.com/jsweekley

Today was a very meh day for writing. I barely got anywhere in a session after like 6 hrs. My ears were shot and I could tell I was going to make bad decisions so I walked away for the day. It happens to all of us. Don't beat yourself up. Tomorrow is a fresh start. Sleep helps.

Gearing up for a road trip...

The alpha (0.05) version of Playstation Doom has been found! This version has the original Doom sounds and an interesting procedural liquid effect. Looks like they already had the colored lighting and Aubrey Hodges music! Grab it here: archive.org/details/psxd...

Please use this John Romero wojak responsibly. Updated with Doom appropriate teal background for transparency purposes.

Heretic - Symphony of the Serpent Riders, my tribute for the 30th anniversary, is now live on my Bandcamp! Free / Name Your Price! johnsweekley.bandcamp.com/album/hereti...

And as the year closes, I'd love to wish Heretic a happy birthday, as it turns 30 today. You might be a forgotten younger brother to a giant, but you are a lovely game by the lovely people at Raven, Heretic. Also a big thanks to @eev.ee for her Doom Text Generator tool. You're a lifesaver, girl.

Today two of passions, storm chasing and game development, collided in the worst way. A colleague, and respected member of the retro first person shooter community, lost his home to a tornado this morning. This is all the information I have right now. #nightdive #doom64

Kids these days don't appreciate that, without Ernest, we wouldn't have Christmas today.
