Fuelled by raw passion, he seizes an art form by the throat and drags it to its apex. What they invented, he makes it sing. His peers hate him but the public love his style. At once he intimidates and inspires; breaking down the walls that secure some yet block others. Welcome to MDickie.com - home of the games industry's first true 3-dimensional character! Whether he's the "hero" or the "villain" depends entirely on your perspective...
Having mastered every single discipline that goes into making a game (from design and programming through to 2D graphics, 3D graphics, and even music), I've turned a notoriously bureaucratic process into something altogether more instinctive. It's the key to everything that's lacking in the mainstream - speed, creativity, and economy. Even the most sophisticated of projects can be churned out in a matter of months rather than years. They're more innovative and creative because there's nobody to compromise my vision or question my beliefs. And since there's only one person to pay, the end product can be picked up for the same price as your average CD or DVD (yes, I preside over the publishing process too!)...
All of which fuels a revolutionary movement that entertains, educates, and inspires in equal measure. What used to be a faceless science has become an accessible art form that anyone can aspire to take part in. Delivering that message is a responsibility that this website takes very seriously; supplementing the games with a canon of insightful articles that lift the lid on this most elusive of professions. Behold an entire empire created and maintained effortlessly by one man. The dictionary definition of "independence" in full effect. See if you can feel it...
just....wow...seriously...wow
im still not sure if this is a joke. or if this dude is so serious it hurts. physically. like burning.

I'm glad I'm not the only one; been passing around various links here at work!

I downloaded one if his games once and it was shit quite frankly .
I will give him minor credit for getting some stuff together to release and for a one man show he does ok, but all that blurb is just nonsense.
hehe, that was the name that popped into my mind right away. They should come together to make daikatana 2 and turn us into their bitches
not for the faint hearted !

I have no idea what that's suppose to mean
He started out making 2D wrestling games (which is how I found him in 2000). Then he moved to 3D Wrestling games and he had gained a bit of notoriety, so he started selling his game instead. At one point I even offered him one of my to-scale, fully detailed low poly wrestling arenas free of charge and he blew me off, content to stick with his arenas that consist of a single inverted cube with a brick texture.
Then he started reusing the assets from that wrestling game, and changing the menu HUDs in his game to create 'new games'. So he recycled all his wrestling stuff into an American Idol type thing called Pop Scene. Now it looks like he threw out all the grapple moves animations, left in the punches, and re-branded Wrestling Empire as a Boxing Sim.
And now he's got a Jesus game? He really gets a lot of mileage out of that one mesh he did.
He's great at slapping a few cubes together in 3DS Max, and seeing a new game out of it.

Wow.
his games aren't that bad, really, for what they are.
just a hunch?
or just a total and complete tool.
or bill brasky's son, and every word he says is true.
WAT!?!?!?
The person above is:
A) The poster boy for the Dunning Kruger Effect.
C) Delusional and on the verge of thinking he really can resurrect magical fairies by clapping his hands.
D) Too busy measuring his humongously enormous 1/2 inch pecker, to answer self generated fan mail.
Or
E) Does not really exist...
Rhinokey and I have been busting our asses trying to make "Ultra Plumber Man in Magical Fungus Kingdom" for years and all we got is a run cycle and me smashing my hands on the keyboard pretending it's code!
and if you think I'm lying:
He's starring into your soul
edit: also, it's clear that he has mastered all the disciplines of game development. if that image isn't an example of game art mastery, i don't know what is
Jesus really needs to stop smoking meth
Aww, he doesn't do voice acting
You mean laugh hysterically?
Solid games, if you live in 1992 and own a 386.
