Polished some of the sunset 🌅 this week! Among other less sexy controller work 🙃
ATM, it's on a timer. This is showing the system with a x20 Time dilation for the post. The actual transition is about 2 mins long. and will eventually be on a trigger.

Experimenting with asymmetric environments in One Night Apart.
Both players occupy the same space, but their perspectives are part of the puzzle play.
This week: "sunset for you, but not for me" 🌅

I've been building this character as a demo for my students and tracking my hours as I go.
Mostly because "make a character" sounds like one task when it's actually a whole pile of smaller projects hiding in a trench coat. 😂
And I'm still not done!

Got both player perspectives working! The idea is that two players move through the same world, but don't always experience it the same way. Communication is part of the game.
VERY early game design, but still exciting to get working. :)

#ThrowbackThursday to some VERY early career work. 😂
I worked on Ever, Jane, a Jane Austen MMO, back in the day. Character customization! Regency fashion! So many lessons learned!
look at those low res textures 😭😭

Bosses in my game were kinda boring since they all have the same shape. I've created a grouping system with knockback handling that allows me to group a boss into multiple parts that can be destroyed or moved.

Finished this little 3D character study! I saw this Sam Yang sketch and immediately thought, “I wanna make that in 3D.” 😅
Mostly an excuse to play w/ stylization, posing, and make something cute.

Pro tip: Always be happy for the successes of friends, colleagues and peers. Moments of recognition in any creative field are few and far between, and worth celebrating when they happen.
Also, you don't want to look like a seethingly envious dickhead.

What does “art direction” actually mean on a small game team?
I put together a breakdown of my work on Reclaim! Azhegiiwewining—covering visual language, color scripting, and building a production pipeline from scratch.

If Dirty Dancing did a reboot this year, and did the same time jump the original made, then it would be movie about the summer of 2000.

I don't really know how to Bluesky, so I decided to be the change I wanted to see on the internet.
This is my manatee kitty, my manakittee, if you will.
I feel like doodoo today, so if you share your pet pics I would be the most appreciative.
