News from me! Last week was my last week at Double Fine. It was an exciting time and I am very grateful to have learned so much at a beloved studio. This means I am looking for work! If you need someone with social media/community expertise, please reach out. Eager to start a fresh adventure!

Last year I wrote about the movement systems for Raz that we built on top of Unreal’s CharacterMovementComponent. This covers the architecture of our Move Mode system, how a few of our custom modes work, and a bit about dealing with inconsistent gravity. doublefine.com/news/behind-...

Devin's posts provide a fun look into the technical details of Raz's movement, definitely worth a read!

Finally got around to properly processing my eclipse photo from April. Took me a few attempts to find a good way to blend the individual exposures, but I'm much happier with the result. Significantly better detail in the corona, and less noisy overall. New image on the left, old on the right.

Since there’s been such a huge influx of people, I figured I should make an intro post. Hey! I’m Aaron, a programmer at @doublefine.com, where I work on engine modifications, cameras, graphics, and whatever else needs to get done. Here’s a video showing the portals that I made for Psychonauts 2.

Drove up into the hills to get a view of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), along with its anti-tail! It’s drifting away from us now, but will still be visible for a few days - look for it in the western sky about an hour after sunset.

Due to a last minute change of plans I didn't have my full rig, but I still snapped some photos anyways. Hard to put into words, just wow.
