An older version of the Black Ice spider, hidden in a cloud of thick bloom.
This is what it looked like before I overhauled the shaders. I think the crisp angular version looks scarier and has a more readable silhouette. Plus you can actually see its little teeths now.

Crisp neon red spiders against the blue grid of cyberspace.
Updating all the Black Ice enemy textures to match my latest shader and bloom upgrades.
13 more models to go before I can record the new trailer!

Found out I ended up in a blocklist just for having the π emoji in my profile as a marker for my cellular automata feedback loop game. So that's fun. I was wondering why so many people were blocking me.

I'm glad I skipped this year. The rebrand seemed like bad news but somehow it's worse than I expected.

An LLM-first OS that was also developed exclusively by LLMs does sound like the quintessential 2026 product though.

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia
No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.
Would you play this?

A Black Ice mission from Machiavelli's Pizza, a front for assassins. The mission text reads: "A rival firm, The Chinese Room, is taking our clients. But AIs control all their contracts. Only humans should be able to order takeout. Destroy their shipment before delivery."
Justin Hendrix: "Anthropic and the Pentagon are in an ongoing dispute over what Reuters describes as "usage restrictions for military purposes" β limits the AI company says are necessary. The government has given the company a Friday deadline to relent. Hereβs what we know."
Josh Marshall: "the 'restrictions' are worth stating explicitly. Anthropic doesn't want its AI to be used to make decisions about whether to kill someone without some human oversight. Hegseth says he won't accept that restriction."
The same week I released a mission about pizza delivering assassins whose honor is offended because their rival restaurant assassins let AI assign their targets, that has become a plot point in real life.

I helped with the Verminsteel trailer design so I also get to bask in every wishlist add.
If you ever enjoyed Earth Defense Force, Dynasty Warriors, or the Redwall books... this checks all those boxes.
