I certainly don’t have the time to replay persona 5 but the OST does make me want to jump back into that world. Maybe a switch play through at some point 🤔
Pragmata completed 🙌. Had a lot of fun with it. The hacking + gun play worked really well and made it feel fresh. Diana was naturally super cute so had to find all the gifts 😂
Played and finished mixtape this weekend. Such a great game! The music and scenarios are so perfectly matched. Overall direction is really strong and brings you all the nostalgic feels ❤️ So naturally today’s soundtrack is 🎧:
Go team! 👏 a great honour to nominated alongside some other great nominees!
Still thinking about Japan 🇯🇵 such a beautiful country with so much still left to see.

Brighton half marathon done 🙌 Me and my knee still have a love hate relationship 😂
The feeling every time I fire the Requiem as Grace in RE:9 👌

For me, the best form of ambient indie game marketing is talking about your game in a natural way, as if you were speaking to someone at an expo. Don't overthink it. Just be you, be honest, be human, and speak from the heart.
I'm 1000 percent sure that indie devs would be better at "marketing" if ; --they reframed it as "showing your game to people who might like to play it" --instead of "I'm a sleazy salesman who is trying to sell you something you don't want"
I managed to pickup a bottle of Zaku Ludens while in Japan, almost didn’t because I wasn’t sure it would fit in my case. So glad I did the shop and buying experience was amazing. Always love to see people passionate about what they do. Thank you Motohashi Liquor Store 🙏

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

Sendai nights! First little explore of the trip not involving snow.

Little adventure around Sapporo snow festival ❄️ (yes it’s cold 😂)
It probably took longer than it should have, but finally killed/deactivated X I stopped engaging or even using it ages ago to the point I had already deleted the app. Finally severed ties completely 😂
After 9+ years at ustwo games I have unfortunately been made redundant. If you are looking for a stylised 3D generalist with 10+ years experience to have on your team please give me a shout or let others know that I am available for work! I'd love to chat ✨ fensartden.com fensartden@gmail.com

Robin hits on some good points here. While your job title might provide some vague idea of what you do it never quite gives the full picture. Having worked in design for various studios and held the same role in a lot of them the responsibilities always varied.
imo game development job titles make no sense in general: youtu.be/yWv4WHkDF0w?... Nobody knows the difference between UX design and product design, nevermind UI design. We cant even decide what a level designer does. Is it purely geometry and gameplay? Or also env art? Or also visual script??
2025 was pretty fun. Travel, BAFTAs and more gaming music concerts. Finally visited Japan 🇯🇵 and made a quick trip to Italy 🇮🇹 Professionally shipped another game, a content update and got promoted at work. All in all a pretty good year 🙌
