TOM FRANCIS
REGRETS THIS ALREADY
Hello! I'm Tom. I'm a game designer, writer, and programmer on Gunpoint, Heat Signature, and Tactical Breach Wizards. Here's some more info on all the games I've worked on, here are the videos I make on YouTube, and here are two short stories I wrote for the Machine of Death collections.

Team Fortress 2 Update Reactions
This just went live, and makes me happy in several ways.
- Added an option in the Options->Multiplayer dialog to filter custom game files being downloaded from servers
Ahhhh.
- Fixed cases where ragdolls were falling through the world
Ahhhh!
- Graphics optimizations for mid and low end hardware
Ooh.
- Fixed players blocking doors in Well
Heh.
- Fixed engineer building in exploit areas on final caps in Well
Oh?
- Increased starting round timer to 10 minutes in Well
Hmm.
But my favourite Steam Update News – and I apologise if you’d hoped I might do something like a ‘Films of the Year’ post instead of this – was actually a little while ago.
- Added effects to players when they earn an achievement, visible to other players nearby
Cool. But isn’t there an achievement for tricking an enemy Medic into healing you while you’re disguised? Would this not give the game away somewhat?
A few days later:
- Fixed cloaked/disguised/disguising spy reporting his achievements to everyone else
Reason Valve should hire me #26: totally saw that one coming.
