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.

Dec and I lost our walkie talkie down a hill in the dark before having the bright idea of screaming in to the one we had left and locating it by sound. Glorious

I enjoyed Tsushima but found it a standard OW checklist of activities wrapped in an appealing and earnest setting. Yotei’s structure and framing feels so organic in the way it reveals content that everything feels discovered.

Baffled by how little Ghost of Yotei has been celebrated for its order of magnitudes improvement it made over its predecessor and its open world peers when it comes to its fluid blending of storytelling and exploration

I feel this is the way with all ass creed features. Nothing ever feels expanded on in subsequent iterations. Only streamlined to the point of insignificance. Parkour, stealth, combat etc.

Space is not a wall: toward a less architectural level design
Maybe video game level design theory needs less focus on architecture? And maybe I'm part of the problem? My bad.

I often think about how one of the GBA Castlevanias had an amazing synergistic magic system where you combined cards to modify your moveset and one of the end game combinations is just… Gun

As much as I love a good Mario it’s always exciting to see one of the rest of the cast get a shot. Feels like the team really gets to shake off some of Mario stylistic baggage and go wild. DK Bonanza is giving me Warioland energy and I am eating it up

I’m clearly not a business guy because I don’t see how a live service game is any less risky when it can literally die out with no way to continue selling and therefore make money. Give me more static, preservable games please
