Tech Designer on 007 First Light at IO Interactive, Indie Dev, various other things

I’m only a few hours into 007: First Light (review code went out very late) but I *love* it so far. Delightful mashup of Hitman and Uncharted, with impressive storytelling chops. Been a minute since I’ve been this into a triple-A game. And I’ve never even seen a James Bond movie

Whilst we’re talking about Fable - I built the very first versions of the Blades spell years ago and I’m incredibly proud of it :)

If there's one thing indie dev specifically has taught me it's empathy. I will never ever ever complain about a bad camera in a 3D game again.

A few months ago I spoke about a game I'm assisting on where we have a plan for if the creative director is captured or murdered. This is that game, and Rasheed is that Creative Director. We don't know how the game affects his safety, but he wants to go through regardless. Any support helps!

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba. I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share! 🔗 launchgood.com/1948

Someone smarter than me please help me understand how to start designing 3D platformer levels 😭 are there any particularly good resources/places to start?

Today was my last day at Playground! V sad to leave so soon, but that London-Leamington commute hollowed me out looool. 5 hours a day breathing in diesel fumes and brake dust left me _constantly_ exhausted. But thankful to have gone through it, and super excited for the next job 🤞🏾

If I wanted to get an iPad purely to use Procreate, what model should I be looking at? I'm sick of my dodgy XP-Pen tablet and want drawing to actually feel nice
