00 — Hello
MarkoBajlovic
Hi, I’m Marko. I've been building websites for 19 years; the kind that are quick, accessible, and actually enjoyable to use. My background spans both development and design, so I think about the whole experience, not just the code or the visuals. I take the work seriously, keep up with what's changing, and try to leave things better than I found them.

More and more people I deeply respect and have learned a lot from over the years feel like they are speaking into a void, to the point where they are losing motivation to continue making content, which got me to write my first post on my site in over a year... www.kevinpowell.co/article/tell...

Finally, a game developer who agrees with my fervently held view that new technology makes everything worse. Celebrated designer Clint Hocking – him wot worked on Far Cry 2, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Watch Dogs Legion, and the forthcoming Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe – has publicly opined that realistic modern lighting has made life trickier for stealth game creators, because realistic lighting conditions are harder to lurk in. Now you tell me! “I actually think one of the difficulties with modern stealth games is the sophistication in the rendering has made lighting so much more realistic,” Hocking told FRVR in an excerpt from an upcoming podcast episode. The simulation of, say, diffusion - light scattering from different surfaces – makes stealth games “so much harder to read”, he explained. Read more
