Making games using Unreal Engine. Working on gamedev is my primary focus, but I also work in Blender for 3D modeling and Aseprite for pixelart! Current projects: Retro FPS ImSim-lite sci-fi series, and an isometric samurai slasher.

This tip needs to be shared more 😀

Oh no my custom lowpoly character have some weight paint issues in a sensitive spot it would appear after applying the unreal skeleton... #gamedev

The new dungeons and dragons pinball machine looks cool. Haven't gotten a chance to play yet but apparently you make a character that you can save progress between games! #pinball

I'm an old introvert, decided that the last stage of my life is going to be making games. Right now it's happening on Unreal Engine. I show a lot of what I do, share my thoughts, but there will be even more after 10k followers. Here's a bubble for you #gaming #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Hey! I’d love to share some new screenshots from Becrowned, the survival horror game I’m working on. If you enjoy industrial horror and dark fantasy, make sure to add the game to your wishlist! ♥️ #screenshotsaturday

Anyone else notice Little Ceasars and Pringles had the same idea for a commercial ... of all things facial hair pealing off peoples faces and flying away.

Just subscribed to Wired. No reason. Just felt like a little lite reading for the next few years.

I'm not a massive fan of UE5 (when utilized poorly); but this is an AMAZING first step to make sure more developers can get more out of the engine. www.unrealengine.com/en-US/tech-b...

Hot take: fantastic 4 are lame. don't understand why they keep making fantastic 4 movies. Never saw the appeal of these particular super heroes. Fallen asleep during every previous iteration.

The theme of February will be optimization. As an Unreal 5 optimist, i was sad to see my low spec low poly ps1 like prototypes stuttering and freezing on my brand new Alienware laptop. My overspec workstation has lulled me into a state of complacency. #unrealengine #gamedev

So my dream of starting a ketchup chip import business is gonna have to wait a few years I think....

My and @ebwizdx.bsky.social’s new #leveldesign book from CRC Press is here! It has all new spatial design principles for designing action-adventure game worlds, and even tutorials to build your own game in #GBStudio! #gamedev

Checking out the indiegames and arcade here at #magfest! Played some pinball and some virtua fighter 2. Really a little game called Mindwave. #indiegame

Did a little level designing today with some nice asset packs. Going to have to look at more game waterfalls to see how they get them to look right. Of course the most important rule of waterfalls is to make sure something is behind them! #gamedev

Who's going to #magfest this week?

Fyi Sonic Movie 3 has an Akira slide.

Working on this mysterious thing. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

A little late to party but my future games will definitely be tested on my new #steamdeck
