the more I play Blood of the Dawnwalker, the more I'm surprised by how much it punches above its weight with its writing, characters, and the storytelling. this IS as good as the dark fantasy, character-driven games like Dragon Age and Witcher

Hawks is like if Ted Lasso had his weird upbeatness stripped out of him, but kept the charm and the goodness of doing right by the people he loves. They even kinda' got the same drawl

On Friday I hit a major milestone for the game I've been working on, and then I was back to learning basic fundamentals through courses and YouTube. I have to keep myself humble that there's still a ton of things to learn and add to my toolbox. #gamedev

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

If Marathon was not a PVP extraction shooter but a speedrun extraction game, then it would be CICADAMATA". This thing is effortlessly dripping in style, cool and is incredibly fun to play. Highly recommended.

Today is officially my last day at XBOX. Incredibly proud and honored of all the devs and communities I got to work with and support over these past 4 years, games funded and launched, from SE Asia, Taiwan and other parts of Asia. Much thanks to everyone for your support <3

REBOUNDER. A new game developed by ThirtyThree, published by Aggro Crab. Rebounder is a hand-crafted precision platformer about a roughneck worker recruited for a hazardous job on a distant planet. Nail the run. Deliver your line. Dropping 2027.

Okay, after all the new cycles about GTA6 I've been trying to avoid commenting on, I've watched the latest trailers and I kinda feel I have to say something, so I've been collecting some thoughts while out walking about the state of gaming generally. This might be a long thread so bare with me.
