Alex was the backbone of our quality assurance at [REDACTED] for several years. He led our testing processes by creating test plans, executing them, and above all pushing hard for us to maintain high quality. He gave his honest recommendations on which bugs should be fixed before release. We valued his assessments and came to rely on them, knowing he was pushing us to make our games the best possible. His kind nature shone through in all his communications. Any company would be lucky to have Alex on their team. He will make your team better.

My former boss wrote a recommendation on my LinkedIn.

You should hire me (if you can)

Thanks! At least everyone got out safely and we have a place to stay.

On the plus side. My son’s getting a lot of quality grandparent time

Welp, last weekend, woke up to alarms going off and water filling the entirety of our apartment. Had to take my family/dogs in the middle of the night to my parents home to stay. Just found out the damage will require full renos and we’ll need to move all our stuff to a temp unit for the time being

Sorry to hear man, I’ll keep an eye out if any opportunities show up and pass them along. It’s rough out here but not impossible.

I totally thought the packaging for this frozen ramen was AI generated and a Lego man pattern was randomly in the carrots.

Turns out, no it was all real. My mistake, I wasn’t familiar with your game. lol It’s a miso butter I believe?

earthbound inventory screen

mother 3 box art

Recently, I did a quick playthrough of Earthbound to completion. Still holds up great, outside of maybe the worst item inventory management controls lol.

I've never played Mother 3 ... so what's the recommended way of playing it?

Imagine of the godot robot plushie

This little weirdo is finally on the move!

Maybe I'll work on a Godot project later tonight in celebration. Hopefully it arrives soon 🤖

Obligatory 🎵 Carry on my wayward son

This is looking awesome!

How did they never make a Middle-earth / Lord of the Rings CRPG game with the infinity engine??

One of my goto playthroughs during the holiday break is Final Fantasy X. Not really sure why, just a nostalgic and cozy play for me over the years.

What's your game you dust off each year if you're able to?

Reads as red for me!

For work, I was given the task of playing and beating Link's Awakening.

Finished it in roughly 2 days, was a little strange playing through a Zelda game during work hours haha.

I really enjoyed my time with the game, very charming with a bit of a somber ending.

Majora's is still my favorite tho!

Tonight's movie.

I’m just about to buy it! It’s been on my radar for a bit but finally pulling the trigger

The Cabin in the Woods holds up so well!

Going through our long list of horror films leading up to Halloween.

Definitely one of my favourites to put on, almost like a cozy horror/satire. Just all around a fun time!

Let the couple of weeks of spooky begin! 👻

#movies #horror #halloween

So far so good!

Yup! Got the pixel remaster collection and making my way through them all! Most of them for the first time lol.

Finally finished my playthrough of Final Fantasy 3! The job system was pretty cool, would love to replay sometime with a different team makeup. Probably my favourite of the first 3.

But now it’s time to start FF4! Been looking forward to this! First of the SNES ones!

Huzzah! Best of luck with the showcase! Wish I could make it out but baby duties this weekend is making traveling out to van difficult lol

One of us, one of us!

Have some older stable builds at the ready just in casey lol

At least if I’m working with promotional materials, If not, I just use either OBS or screen to gif for quick stuff to toss on socials since those get compressed to hell anyways haha

Taking Screenshots in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.6 Documentation | Epic Developer Community Guide to taking in-game screenshots of environments and gameplay.

If possible, I try to do in engine renders, unless the art style doesn’t lend itself to much of a difference. I don’t yet have much experience with Unreal with this, tho I should soon haha. But this might help: dev.epicgames.com/documentatio...

Specifically the high res console command

Get ready for more of that at the end of the month lol

Yeah! A good soundtrack really helps make a game memorable. But also it’ll drive more people into checking out the band, so win, win!
