Mat Dickie

Every industry has one. The free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules. He says what no-one else will say and does what no-one else will do. Fuelled by raw passion, he seizes an art form by the throat and drags it to its apex. What they invented, he makes it sing. His peers hate him but the public love his style. At once he intimidates and inspires; breaking down the walls that secure some yet block others. Welcome to MDickie.com - home of the games industry's first true 3-dimensional character! Whether he's the "hero" or the "villain" depends entirely on your perspective...

Look at this badass motherfucker, /prog/. You'll never be as cool as him if you only keep making toy programs.

Hello, Mat. I admire your skilful, and mostly successful, attempts at breaking out and being an indie visionary (and replacing scientists with artists). I also highly respect the way you deal with the people who just don't "get" it, especially your *excellent* Hater-view. I have found a nest of people that don't seem to understand your work, and I would like for you to correct them. They are pretty cocky and call you names I dare not repeat here, but to me, they just seem misguided, in need of a mentor like you.

I know you can do it; go Dickie, show them the new age of game development!

Thanks for the support, but I'd rather not expose myself to things like that! Are they game programmers or just kids that play?

They're general programmers, some of them game programmers, looking down at people like you. You really should help them, though. I spent some time there, and these people have talents, they just don't put them to good use. Because, seriously, you can't write fibs and factorials all life long! These people need to wake up, and do something! They even tried to write a game once, but failed./* 'I really wanted to introduce him to Void here :(' */ These people need a direction, Mat.

Yeah, people like to criticize my work but at least I got things done! You know I'll be releasing source code in 2010? I will change the way people perceive my work. ;)

They seem to have sent you a troll email. It is so sad to see such a
waste of talent. :(
Are you sure that you're not just cruel and don't want to help them?
