Got into smart home stuff over the past year so I repurposed an old kindle for our most frequent home tasks: vacuuming, lighting, and incessantly asking each other if we medicated the dogs. 🐕 #homeautomation #homeassistant

ICYMI We shared the 2026 #Unity3D roadmap last month: youtu.be/E4fK_B8ys9Y One update noted a program I'm running alongside Unity Studio Productions. We're turning the hurdles we spot in co-dev with studios into improvements for the editor. Love spending each day making #gamedev a lil bit easier 💙

It's been 10 years since I've joined @unity.com 💙 So grateful for all the amazing #gamedev and colleagues I've gotten to work with this past decade!

Kicking off #GDC2025 with a deep-dive on the @unity.com roadmap by @laug.bsky.social and Marc-André Ferguson! Lots of good updates on platforms, graphics, performance, and many more improvements for #gamedev!

Prepping for #GDC2025, I'll be around conducting #gamedev research for @unity.com! Do hit me up if: 🌶 You have a min to share your latest game engine woes 🌟 You have a Unity game making heavy or interesting use of physics that I can help promo 👋 You're a fellow product manager I haven't met irl!

Here's the full dotted-line Shader Graph for reference ⬇️ It's super simple and can be used anytime you need a repeated scrolling shape or texture. #unitytips #techart

One of my old #UnityTips: You can use @unity.com Shader Graph + Sprite Shape tools to easily draw lines w/ cool effects. Ex: Used 6 SG nodes to make a dotted-line shader for a single sprite. Added Sprite Shape spline points + set its Profile to tile my sprite for a lasso-tool effect! ✌️ #GameDev

Made this little skull pouch recently. I love the color but the leather was too soft. Remaking it with a sturdier black veg tan to see if it looks better. 🪡

pupdate: pablo has reached 15(!), is doing great, and now has an annoying little brother. gizmo (11) came from a german shepard resuce, has a perma-blep, and we've yet to convince him he's really a chihuahua. they form brief alliances to beg for cheese and disrupt my zoom calls as evidenced below

Hola, I'm Ashley! My days are spent as a PM at Unity, where I've worked on features like Visual Scripting, Shader Graph, Physics, and ECS. I also make indie games and like game jams, sewing, and surfskating. Always down to chat #gamedev and help folks get their Unity feedback to the right place! 💙

Hi, friends! Back with the Unity crew at Devcom / Gamescom doing research on #gamedev workflows. If your studio published a game recently, or are about to, let me know! We want to learn about your journey and advice for fellow game creators. 💙 #gamescom2024 #ddc2024

Looking forward to #GDC2024! 💙 Alex Kerfoot and I are giving a talk on how to use baking in Unity's Data-Oriented Tech Stack to improve game performance and modularity. I'm also looking to meet more devs using DOTS/ECS for their games, so hit me up if you're in SF next week!
