007 First Light announced by IO Interactive, game reveal this week

Thank you!! Been amazing so far 🙏🏾

Thank you Lizz!!

Thank you bro 😤🤝🏾

I really appreciate it 🥹

Tbh there were several points during this year where I wasn't sure I wanted to be in the games industry by the end of 2024. But I'm so thankful this has come along 😭

Sincerely I'm still in disbelief on this one. You're telling me I get to go to work and make a James Bond game? With the people who make Hitman? And that's just my day job now??

Today was my first day as a Technical Designer on Project 007 at IO Interactive. 🙂‍↕️

One guy on eBay was selling a very old, very dusty ~15 year old projector + screen setup for cheap and I jumped on it. Disassembled the lens, cleaned out the dust and it's been perfect since. It's actually a 3D projector too, so combined with my PS3, I've gotten super into 3D Blu-Rays too 😌

Projector/home cinema setup for my bedroom was easily the best investment I made this year 😪

APPRECIATE YOU POWERING ME UP EVERY TIME 😤😤🤝🏾

(for context, I've been posting on and off on Twitter about this high-speed 3D platformer I've been making for the last year and a half in Unreal, and I'm just now getting back to it after a long break. Lots of jumping, momentum, swinging, grinding, all that good stuff)

Plus I think I've finally cracked what the concept is going to be, so fingers crossed I can actually execute it 🤞🏾

Back to my project! Fine tuning some camera stuff (I am very proud of how dynamic it's slowly becoming) and playing around with the earliest beginnings of some actual level design.

If there's one thing indie dev specifically has taught me it's empathy. I will never ever ever complain about a bad camera in a 3D game again.

A few months ago I spoke about a game I'm assisting on where we have a plan for if the creative director is captured or murdered. This is that game, and Rasheed is that Creative Director. We don't know how the game affects his safety, but he wants to go through regardless. Any support helps!

Dreams on a Pillow - a videogame experience about the 1948 Nakba, based on a true story | LaunchGood A pseudo-3D stealth adventure game about a land full of people being made into a people without land

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.

I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share!

normal eyes normalise normal lies

I'm trying to design plausible urban environments but also throw in the cool level mechanics I've built like rails, bounce pads, floating platforms, etc - and it all just feels incompatible.

Someone smarter than me please help me understand how to start designing 3D platformer levels 😭 are there any particularly good resources/places to start?

Today was my last day at Playground! V sad to leave so soon, but that London-Leamington commute hollowed me out looool. 5 hours a day breathing in diesel fumes and brake dust left me _constantly_ exhausted. But thankful to have gone through it, and super excited for the next job 🤞🏾

Genuinely might be my favourite digital art piece, it feels like home 🥹

Secretly, Sonic Dream Team is one of the best Sonic games, full stop

If I wanted to get an iPad purely to use Procreate, what model should I be looking at? I'm sick of my dodgy XP-Pen tablet and want drawing to actually feel nice

Good luck with whatever comes next 🤞🏾
