Working at Max Inferno Games where I help keep 'A Little to the Left' nice and tidy. Also a struggling gardener in a never-ending battle with grape vines.
I'm told it's the "best possible case for the symptoms" but hearing I need cataracts surgery in my 30s got me more than a little rattled.
Going to be months of getting lost in these feelings and a rolling revaluation of every time I have trouble reading things or miss pouring a glass of water 😅

While we've been hard at work on Project Lexa, we've also been trying to answer a very important question: what's the final name of this game going to be? Well, now we have an answer — Project Lexa is now just Lexa! ward-games.com/post/project...
Project Lexa is Now Lexa!
We're excited to announce the new name of Project Lexa!

Talk went very well! Very happy to have done it!
Being back at the Dal campus, sitting with a laptop and cramming for a last minute assignment has me feeling like I've travelled ~15 years into the past.
New talk added to today's Dalhousie Games Expo gamedev conference, "Porting Games To Console: Is It Worth It?" presented by @hoistgamedev.com ! Daniel has first hand experience porting games to consoles such as Nintendo Switch. Today at 7pm at the Dalhousie Student Union Building!

We’re honoured to play a part in yesterday’s inaugural Conference 4 Art Games c4art.games presented by CFAT here in our hometown of Halifax. It was an amazing day of artists talks on process, tools, collaboration, experimentation and more. So nice to have a focus on the art and creative in games ❤️
We are looking for community partnerships and sponsors to support C4 Art Games as well as CFAT’s ongoing games programming including education, production and exhibition of games and other interactive media works.

Another great watch at AIFF tonight, I had seen the original NFB documentary before so it was especially entertaining to see it dramatized.

I've since completed a replay of AC 4 and 5, going to wait and see how that 0 HD port turns out since it might be a fun way to mix up that PS2 era.
In the meantime I've got a new PSP battery to break in. While I almost exclusively play AC in cockpit view this tiny screen might finally break that.
