Arc Raiders is really polished and good looking! I look forward to exploring it more.

Been doing some traveling. New Zealand and New York were amazing! Definitely learned my limit of how many floors up I’m comfortable with.

It’s been super inspiring to travel and meet so many cool people in game dev and see these iconic places.

#NZGDC has been excellent! Learning a ton and meeting a lot of awesome folks. New Zealand’s dev scene is awesome!

What resources/math did you up doing here? Looks great!

I’m at an amazing coffee shop, Customs, in downtown Wellington and the amount of absolute friendliness of people in here is off the charts! It’s such a nice place to relax. No place in Vancouver is like this.

Headed to NZGDC!

I literally said, “whoa that was sick!”

Saw a little gang of 13 year olds on e-bikes on a super busy road this afternoon at a red light. After first I was amused and a bit like, “Why are you all in traffic.” Then the light turned green and half of them did wheelies and rode off down the road. 🤙 I have now decided I will never be as cool.

Man, sea quest and sliders in one purchase.

Brian Jacques is in my top favorite authors, so woodland creatures. Honestly I don’t think people have explored it enough. Redwall, Humblewood, Rats of Nihm, Mouseguard are all great! But there could be more!

Man… investing in my kids. I see all this stuff happening and everyone is worried for the future. I’m right there with them. But raising these two to thrive and challenge that future is definitely worth it to me.

MTG Arena and this FF set has its hooks into me.

This set is fun and frusterating at the same time. Been waiting for my boosters to come in the mail by playing on arena.

Thanks Utah for wonderful time! Till we meet again!

Gutted my guy. My heart goes out to you and the team.

That’s one way to do the pomodoro technique!

Congrats and thank you!

Every now and then I jam through a walking simulator game. The Invincible was great for just experiencing a story, similar to Firewatch.

I just learned about Win+Ctrl+V! I'm constantly switching between audio devices, and it's such a huge time saver. I feel like there are probably tons of people that don't know about it...

Im very excited about the work my team has been doing for Unreal 5.6, its turning out to be a big release for us.

Huge improvements to State Tree and Mass, among others :) Cant wait to see what you all think!

If you ever need the editor to not use the existing DDC and re-build the data as needed instead, you can use the command line parameter -DDC=Cold. The exact formatting will differ depending on which shell you use, but the gist is: pathto/UnrealEditor.exe pathto/projectname.uproject -DDC=Cold #ue5

Hey kids, let me tell you about the 3-Month Surprise.

In just about every gamedev cycle you'll find that every three months something very unexpected happens that will upend some of your development. Most of these are minor, except the Surprise 3 months before release.

Don't worry, you got this.

Been seeing a small amount of chatter that people aren’t excited by the Switch 2 reveal, they were hoping for more innovation.

I trust Nintendo to push on design, even if hardware changes aren’t drastic, studios will still get better at using the improvements they will make.

To add to Ryan’s post. One of the other issues with coming up with a common process for building games is that getting to your final frame is so different depending on the stage of development, state of tech. Even if your planning processes were the same, your game might need it to be flexible.

“Problem is, the Tower of Babel approach got us to ship.”

This statement is the absolute truth. Especially in studios where you had to do it again quickly.

Finished the first, of a committed forty, book of the year!

@justingary.bsky.social’s “Think Like a Game Designer”.

It’s really nice to have such a concise book put together of a bunch of topics I’ve been talking to my mentors and colleagues about for the past few years!
