Lighting Artist in gamedev, currently working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. PC gaming enthusiast and archivist, use #PCGI tag to filter by my retro gaming posts.

As a lighting artist on DLC, I definitely support the message on the box! 😄25 Aug 2026 18:23 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtwgucj3hc26https://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mtjckm56ak2qyoutu.be/DhEQ2nXO90M https://youtu.be/DhEQ2nXO90M?is=arOXZjfbGAqnEvYC20 Aug 2026 13:02 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtjckm56ak2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mth5pne4zc2hSo far so good!

Finally experienced their music live after being a fan for over 2 decades. Also, tested camera of my new Xiaomi phone, and I was impressed with how superior it is in low-light dynamic environment than Samsung. #industrialmusic30 Jul 2026 09:25 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mru4nuc22c24https://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mrmy3yi2rc2sThe wait is almost over!

Never had an original hardware (too young for that lol), so it's perfect for my research of computer gaming history. It comes bundled with a lot of software and SID music, but also supports all existing C64 games as well. Might make a video about it someday... #pcgi27 Jun 2026 13:44 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpblqm2kcc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mo6zyqfbnc2aA more in-depth look at S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope - https://www.stalker2.com/news/zone_between_duty_and_freedom It's going to be a massive expansion with dozens of hours of gameplay where you'll visit new places and iconic locations from original trilogy.

X-18 lab is one of my favorite locations in Shadows of Chernobyl, so working on its modern version was a lot of fun to me. Definitely going to get it framed and put it on the wall eventually!05 Jun 2026 18:11 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnkqf3bza22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mnft7xnwvk2aSo, I've used video editing tools again for the first time in years. It's not related to gaming, just a simple reel with my favorite 5 new albums of the past month. I've also changed my Instagram handle and it made every old link invalid, so I here's the new link - www.instagram.com/pcgi_ales/03 Jun 2026 19:18 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnft7xnwvk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mmvuvrylqc2iIn the wake of recent news, decided to finally pull the plug and get used Steam Deck OLED 512gb. I planned to wait for Steam Deck 2, but considering the global situation, I feel it would take a while before we hear about it again. I doubt I'll have time to actively play on it, but I love it so far!28 May 2026 11:06 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmvuvrylqc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mmefmbahy226My copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 almanac has finally arrived! And it features a few of my in-game renders with some of the locations I worked on. One of the perks of being in the dev team is that I got this book and 5 cards for free lol. I won't hunt for a complete card collection tho, too much trouble.21 May 2026 12:17 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmefmbahy226https://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mlrbbk57ds2wI usually don't play those "AAA" gacha games, but I couldn't ignore Neverness to Everness (what a dumb name) because it's a rare UE5 urban open-world game with path tracing support. I was curious to see how they've managed to pull it off, and damn - this game is an impressive technical achievement.13 May 2026 21:39 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlrbbk57ds2whttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3ml7q2weyqc2wIt's been a really busy month, so I barely have time to share anything except for my late photos from yet another music gig. This set is from Smash Into Pieces tour with Dark Divine and Enemy Inside, and it was an awesome show!06 May 2026 22:15 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml7q2weyqc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mkgm3xspos2yI usually don't celebrate my birthday, but by coincidence there was an industrial music gig in Zwickau, so it was a nice excuse to go to Germany last weekend. I doubt anyone here knows these bands, but it was a show with Pseudokrupp Project, INTENT:OUTTAKE, and Grendel. And it was a lot of fun!26 Apr 2026 22:28 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkgm3xspos2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mjhednxr4k2jNew free content update for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is available now! It introduces a new questline to explore the sealed part of X-18 Lab, and I was tasked to do lighting for such an iconic location. Read the full announcement below, a lot more is coming this summer! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1643320/view/50848448690153566514 Apr 2026 12:16 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjhednxr4k2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mjd4ohlais2gThis week I had a great pleasure to be at live performance of legendary British synthpop band Mesh. It was an amazing show, which solidified my opinion that their new album is awesome. Excellent crowd and the vibe, guest performance of Mari Kattman was also great! #synthpop #industrialmusic12 Apr 2026 19:49 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjd4ohlais2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3miwamg2p522uLooks familiar 👀07 Apr 2026 16:54 +0000at://did:plc:264lgrmurvhstfq4butf2e2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3miwamg2p522uhttps://bsky.app/profile/pcgi-ales.bsky.social/post/3mirpi5dsjs2bI was on short vacation and had a chance to be at Amaranthe/Epica show as part of their Arcane Dimensions Tour. I'm a huge fan of Amaranthe since their very first album, so it was great to finally experience their music live!
