I got it in my mind to work on UI for user facing naming convention settings, portability, and being able to make it so users won’t have to worry about installing dependencies.

Been awhile since I socialized here. Mostly because of projects, traveling, and realigning my priorities. Realigning such that I make games instead of spending another decade collecting rejection letters from AAA studios. Other than that, I also updated my dialogue tools.

Reminding me to get myself back on track with Japanese and not use "muh programming, muh game dev, muh sound design" as an excuse. It's all fun, but also just gotta do it.

Definitely on my watch list. Got some Reaper scripts to update too... as soon as there's a lull in Dota updates I have to work on.

I got an AAF for a horror movie where they put in stingers. A lot. It was going full throttle for a full 20 minutes.

My brother has to set up sandbags whenever it rains in the desert. Water is no joke.

Lena Raine is awesome. Ed Harrison is another good one for drum writing. Neotokyo is still on my playlist.

Something about omnibuses just makes the reading experience feel premium. Like you’re reading an old tome.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

And Team Fortress 2. Can't forget to represent the single game that I've spent the most amount of time on.

Tomodachi Life. For me, it's gonna be a mess of Dota, Deadlock, and Nickelodeon characters.

I'm hoping audio plugin devs start supporting Linux. Right now iZotope RX runs into a kernal issue with Linux distros.

I've found that I'm grumpy and very much against the idea of having conversations if I don't eat.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

I can't on Bsky. But I will on Airwiggles 👍.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Wasn’t there this year. Maybe we’ll run into each other in the future!

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

I ask that every year. And I'm not even there most years.

100

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Been feeling that past couple of weeks. I feel in my mind I'm ready to tackle the next thing. But another part of me is screeching the brakes.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

I loved putting these together as a kid. Too bad I didn't know about the cutters back then. My fingers hurt after finishing one.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Disappeared for a bit because I was getting ready for an informal interview about becoming an employee at Valve. Long story short, I would fail the formal interview and I have a laundry list of things to work on before trying again. I'm pretty excited about having tangible actions.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

I've honestly cut social media use by 90% and it's been pretty great. The ten percent is for actually socializing with humans.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

It'll try harder next year.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

I decided to go AWOL from all forms of online social platforms in December. Went great, played a bunch of games, did family stuff, conquered Mars. Back to making games.

The best ones. The Nausicaa manga was wild too.

Who doesn’t like frogs? Because the number of frog in Dota 2 just increased. Know what else increased? My frog association. Battletoads, Punk Frogs, and now frog bard Largo.

Mochi is always an appropriate name. My friend has a black cat as well who lounges.

I like sushi. I like Kura. Consider me interested.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Could be weirder. Could be named after George Hamilton for your American name. Though to be fair, I think people aren't generally equipped to say Zhuying or Truc-Anh very easily.

My clients are convinced to continue hiring me for SpongeBob games. And I’m here for it. It’s a wild thing to work with actors I grew up listening to.

I haven't. For me personally, Ozone tended to take a lot of resources and was fairly slow even just instantiated.

This is a sound demo of mine from this year focused towards platformer, coop and metroidvania style games. If you're looking for sound design and/or implementation in your game, feel free to reach out, I'd love to work together. (Website in bio) #gamedev #indiedev #gameaudio #gamesounddesign

If only I got Patrick Stewart's email when I had the chance. He and I would be your hype men.

It's a lot of effort to use. But it helped me out a ton on getting VO finalized for the Dota International.

I got a bunch of posters back when I first started on Dota 2 from Valve. It only took a couple years to hang them up.

The Airwiggles folks were joking about turning GSC into Paddingtoncon. With an in-depth psychological analysis watch-through.

Great to meet you! One day smuggling French Horns will happen.

teamLabs is very easy to get lost in. These are a few shots while I was lost. I wish I’d filmed more in Japan. Editing and color grading is actually pretty fun.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

GSC was I had a plan. And then I run into a friend and we talk for an hour. On repeat. It was fantastic this year.

I had to have friends help me get the most legit Monster Hunter mug I ever seen. Those hoops are worth it.

Of the loot I acquired from a recent Japan trip, I think picking up The Great Gatsby in Japanese was very off the cuff. It’s also the 100 year anniversary edition.

Yes. Comes with whistles too.

Now hear me out. Seven french horns. Final offer.

Curry craving follows me back from Japan all the time. Thinking about making Soba too.

A dutch oven containing Japanese style curry. May have been overeager with the solid ingredients. Still tasty.

Each one would constitute 2-3 meals for me. You don’t leave hungry for sure.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Thinking with portals right there.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

I think about Musashi’s life sometimes. Be the best at something, retire to a mountain, write a book, don’t explain anything. Maybe. Minus the duels to the death. Might be doing a road trip with local friends the next time I’m in Japan.

Goes hand in hand with mic technique. Pun and all that.

Don’t get me started on the amount of plosives I hear from videos.

George Vu @georgevu.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

I’m thinking about making curry after just getting back from Japan. Cooking is a lot of fun.
