Jaron | Animator GameDev looking for Work

Lady I dunno how you got in my phone but you can't target me directly like this

Also it's making me weirdly sad??? This is all stuff that I was working to solve on Perfect Dark. So I'm glad I have a head start in understanding a lot of this (not to mention finally having documentation) but I'm also weirdly....melancholic about it? It's all a weird complicated mess of emotions

Watching the Unreal showcase for the new motion matching updates in the game animation sample and I love all of it. youtu.be/i27eY7LbRzc

Some asshole spent the past week leading me on with a job opportunity that turned out to be a scam to pay for changing my resume to be better read by some automated system.

I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).

Samus looking like she's saying "He said NO pickles" lmao

I think all these motherfuckers just hate this guy cuz they wish they were him, standing next to an 8 foot tall woman.

Did you remember the one for Junie

Every store on planet earth is bullying me and calling me a bitch for not wanting to save 40% on trash :(

This is what getting old is, I think. I'm still mad about "mid"

Hey I don't know much about destiny lore but @hazelmonforton.com do I need to get my lawyer??? youtu.be/PqQ_ovN6EZA

I've never paid quarterly though, for what it's worth. Maybe that's bad? lol idk. Might have to look into it this quarter though.

Yeah it's rough. It's been a minute but my CPA helps a lot by having me note down all my deductions for "research". Every time you buy a game, film, computer, anything remotely related to our field. Just be sure to say goodbye to a good 25-ish% of that contract money.

Okay well "Welcome to Derry" does not fuck around lmao

It's been nearly a decade since I last lacked full-time employment during thanksgiving and the holidays. It's a bittersweet feeling! I'm thankful for a multitude of things. The much better financial position I'm in since last time. Being back in Seattle and close to long-time friends helps immensely

I think people really don't appreciate how remarkable it is that the games industry releases hundreds of video games every year when you consider that not one person on earth knows how to make a video game

I think if you make an application system that lets me upload my resume, and then still requires me to fill in all the stuff answered by my resume, you should be drawn and quartered medieval-style.

Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon (2002)

The underrated but beloved Disney movie didn't get a sequel BUT has spawned a game, set after the story of the film. And it was good.

Well, it was made by Barking Dog Studio (Homeworld Cataclysm, now Emergence), which became Rockstar Vancouver (Bully).

What the fuck?! How did I never know this, that's fascinating

Happy thanksgiving! Here's my friend's dog, Ruckus. He looks like a bat and eats blankets cuz he's always nervous.

YouTube video by LudicRyan How to Make Monument Valley Levels

It's a fortunate position to be in to make levels for a game series you really love. Even more fortunate for the studio @ustwogames.co.uk letting you make a video showing how these levels can be designed.

Were you t-posing at the time? That might've been it.

There are a few ways to read this, none of them flattering. For a GDC supposedly "remaking" its image, this does not do much to help that.

562 respondents are you for fucking real get outta here lmao

butlerian jihad but only for leaf blowers

I'm right there with you lol, not just for this but other games industry double standards it's crazy
