Paxtian
@paxtian.bsky.social

I started programming at about 8 years old in GW BASIC after getting my very first computer, and IBM PS/2. I got to making text based games in the vein of Zork, but not nearly that big or complicated. I tried recreating games from magazines and they never worked.

Paxtian
@paxtian.bsky.social

Got a CS degree with the intention of #gamedev, but took a detour. Now about 20 years later I'm pursuing indie game dev more as a hobby and loving it! I'm using Godot and GDScript, Blender, and free or purchased assets.

Oh, thanks! I did hack my Vita, but it was long ago, so I don't remember the specifics, I think it runs homebrew. The problem is that engines e.g. Monogame which I used, delisted their Vita SDKs/targets. But it looks like the link you gave is an open-source alternative, I'll have to look into this!

I'm in Montreal and looking for work. I have a few years of experience as a Unity dev, about a year with Unreal, and am hoping to spend some of this period of unemployment learning Godot because it seems like a great tool for prototyping / small projects.

holospark!
@holosparkteam.bsky.social

holospark was born from my love for hero shooters, as well as my desire to play one that could be more enjoyable the current ones, which wasn’t many at its conception. it’s been a real struggle recruitment-wise, even after making progress with the existing team, but i’m as passionate as ever!
