In Brazil this week for Gamescom LATAM! I’ve got a hangout crew of all new friends. Can’t wait for the convention to get started!

Just sunbathing with my friends. Soaking up those negative ions.

I'm delighted to have been selected as a judge for the Ukie Student Game Jam 2025! It's an honor to evaluate the creativity and dedication showcased. I appreciate the focus and effort that goes into game jam submissions and promise to review each one with the thoughtful consideration it deserves.

I came up with an exciting game idea in 2023. A couple months ago I started putting a couple hours a day into it. I’m not ready to share art or details, but I’ve got the whole story and character concepts done! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

How would your approach building a 2D Player Controller differ if you had 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day? We asked @mikegeig.bsky.social and we'll be learning how to to adapt to time constraints in our new livestream series - Crunch Time! Join us LIVE on Feb 20 at 9am PT / 5pm GMT: shorturl.at/7kPnT

Another sketch, a little more stylized this time.

Just a Saturday doodle. I saw my friend's daughter with her sketchbook, and realized it's been ages since I had drawn anything.

Step 1: Put your game on Discord! Step 2: Win the Game Dev World Championship! Step 3: Profit!

Another prototype from that same batch. Sadly, I didn't get very far on the dino racing gameplay.

Prototype I made in Unity a while back. I made myself into the avatar. 😂 I was trying to think of games you could play on a playground.

Pulling out all my board games! Gonna have a board game day tomorrow. I just bought Wingspan and Uno: No Mercy. I really want to try Wingspan but it’s hard to get others to try a new game.

quick draw what you're wearing, 5 minutes max Yeah, I'm that guy wearing the shirt of the game I worked on. 😂 Also, work-from-home means no pants.

#Instagram asking me to check out #RedNote is the most 2025 thing that’s happened to me so far.

My friends at Stay Kite Studios just revealed their new project! WARTORN! Share and give it a like!

I upgraded my wife’s camping knife from her vintage Victorinox to a Victorinox CyberTool. I 3D printed the paracord bead. We found a discontinued red leather pouch and I riveted a pocket clip onto it, since belt loops are dumb. I think it looks really sharp!

We had a few snowy days in Plano, TX. But it’s all gone and melted now. We just ate spicy soups and took it easy in our cozy house.
