Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

You could link to my review if you need more proof. It was published on release, showing clearly that Ouros predates ZZZ’s copy. youtu.be/6nhDEieHx4U?...

I'm #hiring engineers @medaltv.bsky.social ! Work at the intersection of games x AI research. $150-$275k - highly eng-driven (helmed by a CEO / CTO) - super nice smart humans who like to play and talk about games - robots in the office - everyone cares a lot about game dev / local communities

Started a new gig with @outpost004.bsky.social ! I'd met their co-founder Kyle through @gumbonyc.bsky.social years ago and I wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity without that community. Being part of a 3,000+ creative network makes us all better at what we do. ❤️ #newgig #community

Graphic Design Contest. $500 prize! The Brooklyn Seltzer Museum needs a graphic to represent the upcoming National Egg Cream Invitational. We can't afford to pay all submitters, so we're ONLY asking for rough concepts / mock-ups NOT expecting to get any fully fleshed out usable designs for free.
