- [When One Thing Ends, Another Begins](https://www.michaelbacon.com/when-one-thing-ends-another-begins/) - When one-chapter closes, another one opens. I’ve recently reached the end of my time at Amazon Game Studios. While that wasn’t the outcome I hoped for, it does mark the beginning of something new. The search for my next role is underway, but in the meantime I’m focusing my energy on something I’ve been steadily
- [Studio Garage Build](https://www.michaelbacon.com/studio-garage-build/) - Garage Studio Buildout June was a busy month for us. With my mother moving down from up north, it was finally time to transform the garage into a full creative studio so she could have her own room in the house. Her space turned out perfect — classic old-lady pink with white trim and even
- [Korben's 12th Birthday!](https://www.michaelbacon.com/korbens-12th-birthday/) - My Baby Boy Turned 12... It's quite astonishing when I think about it. He's an incredible young guy—handsome, intelligent, compassionate, and witty. Truly a splendid young man. For his birthday, we decided on a video game theme, knowing his passion for gaming. Mom outdid herself with some fantastic decorations, and I hooked up the PS5
- [Pirate's Gold, a company stole our game!!](https://www.michaelbacon.com/pirates-gold-a-company-stole-my-game/) - A surreal Sunday morning...This morning, I was taken aback by a message from a former development partner revealing that our unreleased game, Pirate's Gold, appeared on the Nintendo Switch store! I was stunned. How could this happen? The game's title graphic, its 2D grid-based puzzle gameplay—everything mirrors our work too closely to be mere happenstance.
- [A Wednesday Evening Fitness Epiphany and the DJI Osmo Mobile 6](https://www.michaelbacon.com/a-wednesday-evening-fitness-epiphany-and-the-dji-osmo-mobile-6/) - Playing my awesome Yellow Fender USA Tele with flame neck. Wednesday Night Epiphany...I've been on the lookout for a workout routine that I can actually enjoy, all while ironically sitting next to our elliptical machine. Despite its effectiveness, I've never been fond of using it, struggling to find the motivation. Considering a walk seemed like
- [MONSTER STOMP](https://www.michaelbacon.com/monster-stomp/) - MONSTER STOMP...The cover art for my upcoming single captures a colossal swing type of energy, bursting with intense, shrieking sonic flair. I've been experimenting with a unique, uneven tapping sequence that forms the core theme, deeply influenced by Van Halen. Imagine this vibe as a towering behemoth rampaging through a metropolis, akin to a bull
- [Happy Easter Bunny Day!](https://www.michaelbacon.com/happy-easter/) - Revenge of the Lamb Cake...Another Easter, another sacrificial Lamb to the Easter Gods. :-) It was a relatively mellow day of painting eggs and chilling out in at home, cozy warm inside while it was pouring rain all weekend. The door to the utility room had to be opened recently and the bottom of it
- [Dead Unity: From the Vault](https://www.michaelbacon.com/dead-unity-from-the-vault/) - Dead Unity was a game being developed by Aramat Productions Inc. and was to be a THq published game on the PlayStation and PC platforms. I came on board as a concept artist initially, drawing robots and character concepts, then eventually worked my way into 3d art, design and narrative, animation, etc. The industry was
- [Korben Monster StopMotion Short Film](https://www.michaelbacon.com/korben-monster-stopmotion-short-film/) - A fun little stop motion ditty testing out some DragonFrame software & my Canon 1D mk 4. We had Korben's wooden train table set up in the living room initially, and every time we set up a track, he loved to destroy it, hence the inspiration here. :-)
- [Season of the Guardian](https://www.michaelbacon.com/season-of-the-guardian/) - Greetings, Adventurers!Season of the Guardian is the latest expansion for New World hitting its release date of April 2nd! I worked on some really cool dungeon spaces for this release, on the exhibition team. Some really big epic places, lots of cool progressions, and some cool twists and turns along the way. I can’t talk
- [Land of the Lost](https://www.michaelbacon.com/essential-photography-teleconverters-for-wildlife/) - Land of the Lost EP I've been nurturing a project that's close to my heart: a 3/4 song length EP filled with instrumental guitar tracks. This venture has been simmering for a while now; last year, I brainstormed around 12 initial song outlines that are now in various phases of development. Life's distractions—work obligations, family
- [The Making of Prey](https://www.michaelbacon.com/the-desolate-beauty-of-greenland/) - The Making of Prey The 3rd FilmPrey was the first real attempt at making an entertaining film, but my 3rd short film. The first two were really practice runs to see if I could get a cinematic result at all, but Prey was the attempt to take what I learned from the first two and
- [The Dawn of a New Day - 55 and Beyond](https://www.michaelbacon.com/think-tank-releases-new-photo-protection-concepts/) - The Dawn of a New Day Looking into the abyss, or just getting started?That's me around 45 I believe? and holding the hand of my 3-year-old son at the time Korben.
