Morten Elgaard @mortenelgaard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The HITMAN 3 project is now up on my portfolio. One of my contributions was creating lots of screenshots for use in menu's and in game. There is a bit of the process on the project page: build-destroy.com/hitman-3/ 3217

Morten Elgaard @mortenelgaard.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Think you are way too honest to have a good relationship with leadership. Thats a good thing btw :D 111
Morten Elgaard @mortenelgaard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yeah think I've written "we" pretty much everywhere except at the screenshot section. It was very much a collaborative effort. 000
Morten Elgaard @mortenelgaard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'm working on updating my portfolio with projects from my time at IOI so I have more for my current job search. HITMAN 2 had a solid foundation, but I think we got some nice UI/UX improvements in and managed to elevate the whole presentation. See it here: build-destroy.com/hitman-2/ 171

Morten Elgaard @mortenelgaard.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Agreed. But yeah, if you just look at number of steam reviews as an indication for sales: Don't Starve (2013) - 32.995 Invisible inc. (2015 ) - 3.530 Don't Starve Together (2016) - 81.807 Oxygen not included (2019) - 49.161 ... it sadly does make sense from a pure business point of view. 020

My bet is on a mix of both.pcgamer.comXbox's CEO wants its games to cater to 'more than a billion people each day', or 24 times more than the peak population of Steam, which is delusionalAlternate title: Does Xbox CEO Asha Sharma know what a billion is? 651478349
