We're playing #BigWalk with my dude. We got engaged on a midnight beach in Australia 9 years ago on Halloween, so it makes me wonderfully nostalgic to walk along the in-game beaches as silly lil ants looking at the sunset. Can recommend

Devastated, frustrated and angry at the state of the industry to hear the BioWare news tonight. To all the devs affected now, and the ones who worked on the games I love over the years: you deserve so, so much better 💔

We had a game jam at work and I made my first Unreal game. A shooter, at that! With me as the designer. Working in a new engine, new genre, and (kind of) new role was pretty overwhelming and the game turned out kind of underwhelming, from a design and playability standpoint (...)

So what I'm trying to say is, my own embarrassment about not already knowing something took away the possibility of joy in learning. I still learnt. But I could have approached the jam with fewer expectations on myself. And I guess I put off learning things I feel I should already know. How silly.

... so after the jam I was feeling, well, dejected. What's the point, if I can't make something perfect on my first try? In two days, at that? Ugh, completely wasted effort... such a 'meh' result Well, we had UE skill assessment at work today. I got 50/60 multiple choice questions correct? How?!

I know that you, the Senior team member, feel the pressure to catch up, to stay on top of your workload. An evening here or there, a Saturday spent "noodling". First to arrive, last to leave. Meetings, reporting, reviews, last minute presentation materials. It's sea change. It's slow poison.

Unfortunately, I don't think there are easy answers to this problem as long as business modus operandi is to extract as much profit as possible. But Perhaps trusting your team enough to ask them to let you know when your workload affects your behaviour as a start.

nothing's really stopping me from designing and sewing my own clothes so I modded a base pattern and made myself a chameleon pocket t-shirt! I might have sewn it back-to-front but it's still cute no? #sewing #crafts

back at work after the summer Holidays. spent most of my lunch break obsessing over Fitz and the Fool with my coworker 💖

Hey friends! Since Pride Game Jam, the team and I have slowly been building out our VN dress up game and we're getting ready to nudge it from 'In Development' to 'Released' on Itch 💖 Once we do, we'd really appreciate it if you play and share it with someone you think could use a bit of cuteness! 💫
