Squize, 1972-2024 2024-11-26 07:57:50 (edited 2024-11-26 17:23:45)

Sad news day, @matt-likes-swords informed me this morning that Richard Myles, aka @Squize, has passed away.


Richard created some classic web games, including the DN8 and Outpost series.



In more recent years, Richard had been making Foxen Island and teaching game dev courses at university in the UK.


I’ve added Richard to our In Memoriam page and to celebrate his legacy, today I’m featuring DN8 as my Takeover Tuesday pick. If you didn’t have anything in mind to feature today, consider doing the same!

Even though I've never heard of him, it's still sad news.

The Outpost games were amazing, they’re one of the few games I played over-and-over just because they were immersive and fun.


Sad loss.

2024's getting one last "fuck you all" in before it ends, huh?

May Squize rest in peace. I may not have known him well, but it still fucking sucks to see him go.

Always sad to hear of another NGer lost. I'm a strong believer in the "no man is an island" way of thinking. And NeoGeo is my continent.
