Here’s #WhatAGameDevLooksLike with his mom in Mexico. And here’s what they look like if they win an Emmy award! Hi! I’m Edwin, an LA-based game designer. I’ve worked on IPs such as Justice League, Silent Hill, & more. All my life people told me to quit pursuing game dev. So glad I trusted myself.

If your project has a soul, I wouldn't be worried. Soul cannot be cloned.

@jpop.bsky.social not sure if you checked out the latest Kit and Krysta podcast, but you were referenced a few times for your simping over the bombchu bowling baddie from Ocarina.

@jpop.bsky.social hey dude! Happy anniversary on Yars Rising!

@kitellis.bsky.social @kitandkrysta.bsky.social

I love

@jpop.bsky.social hi James! I just taught my 1st game design class in Palmdale for a community I’m creating called the High Desert Game Devs. I wanted to say thanks because I quoted you from a presentation you did at College of the Canyons, where you discussed the psychological effects of jumping

@astrariumdigital.bsky.social hey! Your page seems awesome! I appreciate what you do. Looking forward to announcing my indie game very soon. :)

@kitellis.bsky.social I found this at Pokémon Go Tour in LA

Oh no, what have I done? #virtualboy

Today I saw the singers of #Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 in person. Man…I feel a lot. I’ve been a fan of the games and especially the music for my entire adult life. Every single game I’ve ever made, I’ve made while listening to some persona ost. I’m so lucky I got to be at the first U.S. concert

Kirby AirRiders is pure joy. Playing city trail had me smiling for the entire 5 minutes.

@kitellis.bsky.social new Machamp card just dropped in TCG Pocket

I was so excited to see the new Kirby Air Riders gameplay presented in the classic Sakurai level of detail, but I’m a bit sad that Top Ride mode is gone. This was actually my favorite of the original modes. Despite that, the game looks fantastic! I’m so excited for it.

@ziondood.bsky.social hi Zion! I loved your video on game key cards. I had an idea! I wonder how Sega (and other 3rd party companies) would react to a video compilation of major gaming influencers/journalists all asking for the option for full games on a card. I imagine it could help a ton.

Wait, what the damn hell?!

@kitellis.bsky.social in honor of you, I’m winning with my machamp deck!

This month has been really challenging for me after being laid off. I tried challenging myself to land a job by today. It didn’t happen. It’s okay. I’ll find something. I decided to still celebrate myself on my birthday by seeing the newest Ari Aster film. Just like the rest of his work, masterful

#gamedev At times I get really discouraged to keep making games. I fight this by playing works that influenced me in my childhood, or I think about my family. Other times, I listen to game music that teleport me to a time when playing games felt 100% magical, like this: youtu.be/fG0wYNUiTXU?...

Losing your job in a volatile industry is one thing, but having it happen when extreme racism makes being Latino something to fear is a whole other story. Kidnappings in broad daylight. Concentration camps. It’s all so mentally draining. Somehow though, I escape by making games. #gamedev

@themix.bsky.social had an awesome event on a LA rooftop! There were so many great indie games to play. As a dev myself that’s dying to control my own value, I felt inspired by all of these extremely talented creators.

The Wind Waker is still a masterpiece #Switch2

Look at this specimen! A waluigi vampire! WAMPIRE WALUIGI!!!!! It’s over! Forget about it! Game of the year! #switch2 #mariokartworld

Continuing with the Nintendo launch tradition that my mother helped me start back in 2001 with the gamecube. Feeling so happy and inspired right now! #Switch2

Give it a try and let me know what you think. I worked pretty hard designing and programming the boss for this new level.

@jon.gvg.io is my spirit animal. I’ve been saying this about the virtual boy for ages!

@gvg.io just caught the top ten multiplayer video you all released. It made me wonder if there’s any possibility of you guys doing a top ten video on cancelled games that people WISHED they got to play. That’d be super interesting. Mother 3, StarCraft Ghost, Contra 64, Kirby Tilt and Tumble 2, etc

@jon.gvg.io I had my sister (who rarely plays games) try EMIO. She loved it and now I’m sending her your GVG video on the game. We got another one on our side!

@duckvalentine.bsky.social hi Rebekah! I know on NVC you were so thrilled for DK Bananza, as was I. I played it yesterday in LA, but unfortunately got bad motion sickness. The employee demoing and about 8 other attendees I spoke to, also felt the same. Are you prone to feeling that in some games?

@brianaltano.bsky.social hi! When you played DK Bananza, did you get motion sickness at all? I went to the LA Switch2 event, and got it within 5 minutes. The employee demoing said she had been getting motion sickness, too. I spoke to about a dozen attendees, and more than half said they did, too.

I’m so lucky! I got to play the #Switch2 today in LA. I have too many positive thoughts for this small character limitation! In short, I was in love. Mario Kart Knockout Tour stole the show for me. Prime 4 was visually the most impressive. Zelda BotW in 4K nearly made me cry! #nintendo

The time has come #switch2

I’ll soon be available for game design, creative direction, and consultancy opportunities while I develop my own projects. I’m also open to paid speaking engagements if you know of any! If you’d be willing to share/repost this, or just send a kind word, I’d truly appreciate it. Thank you! ♥

@kitellis.bsky.social new machamp just dropped

Yours truly worked super hard on this level! I hope some of you get to try it out!

Ocarina of Time in 4K tomorrow, I summon you. #switch2 #zelda

#shovelknight I’ve been waiting for this concert for so long now. @yachtclubgames.bsky.social

Mister Rogers never misses

Beautiful box art! One of my favorite announcements from the Direct today.

New Rhythm Heaven, Tomodachi Life, Everybody’s Golf, new details on Prime 4, and so much more. I loved the direct. It’s always great to go in with no expectations. #nintendo

@jon.gvg.io DK Swingers reference on the Switch1 predictions video! I was very proud.

I picked up Dwerve on Switch, which was published by @pmstudios.bsky.social The pixel art in this game is really beautiful. And so far, the music is great! I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

Wait! A @jon.gvg.io and @loganjplant.bsky.social crossover?! Yooo! I’ve always thought they had such similar thoughts, so this is exciting. Now, I need them to debate about EMIO. Let’s go!!!

@ash.gvg.io Hey Ash, where can I vote for the Dreamcast games for next week’s top ten episode?

@gvg.io hey guys! I’ve tried contacting you and even asked on your YouTube comments about where I could vote for the Dreamcast countdown, but haven’t heard a response. I really need to make sure that someone votes for Capcom VS SNK. Please share the google doc. Thanks!

“Find the beauty in terror” Man, what a line. Just saying it makes me hyped for #SilentHillF
