With Tango Down’s imminent release, an inspiring piece of graffiti that contributed to game seemed appropriate to post.

Some picture perfect graffiti, if you ask me. This was a small sticker placed in the middle of a huge, tinted window in Barcelona.

I kind of pine for the days when I could sit around, drink coffee all day, and create deathmatch levels based on concepts like this. Now I make levels that have to be informed by ‘science fact’. Not a bad thing, but certainly more constricting. Perhaps now, with much of the game industry focused (seemingly) on gameplay more than anything else, more abstract levels might be coming down the pike.
