I got integration tests running on jenkins (as well as unit tests). Every single room in the game takes 35ms or less to load.

Well I got a Jenkins pipeline setup for Gataela which automatically builds on a scheulde, runs tests, generates all the releases and archives artifacts. 🎉 Next step is automating version number generation and store uploads.

Hey there friends! Unfortunately, I was among those impacted by layoffs at Heart Machine last week. If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced Unreal Engine Technical Artist, I'm available for full time, part time, or contract opportunities.

Some good health news: - Started calorie counting - my problem was portion sizes. Reduced portioned sizes in June and I've lost about 6lbs. 💪 - Braces + implants should be off and done within 4 months - Back still broke but physio is chugging along.

I *DARE YOU* to make a BETTER LUDUM DARE! You have 3 years! Until then, we got 6 more events to run! LETS GO! PS: I chose the word "scheduled" for a reason. I will step in if needed, but I'd like to hang up my apron after we say goodbye in October 2028 (April 2029?). #LDJam Looong blog post here:

ANNOUNCEMENT: I will stop running "scheduled" Ludum Dare events in 3 years! "Scheduled" is the key word though. My hope is that leaders within the community can build something better, more welcoming, that honors our legacy. They've got 3 years to figure it out. You even get to study me. 😋 #LDJam

UPDATE: In a statement sent to Game Developer, CWA Canada has pledged to "pursue every legal recourse" to defend union members and said the timing of the closure "raises many questions for which we do yet have answers." The organization, however, hasn't directly accused Ubisoft of union busting.
