Any #Philly folks interested in immersive events? I’ve got a show I’ve been writing for the past year that I’m excited to premiere next month.
After Worlds: The Immersive Installation
Check the link in my bio for tickets 👌🏽

Oblivion Remastered is scratching that itch and it looks gorgeous, I’m just worried about my PS5 exploding trying to keep up in frames
#gamedev #oblivion
Been thinking a lot of about custom lobbies in multiplayer games.
There’s something so wonderful to me about a bunch of friends taking a game and completely rewiring it for the sake of having their own world.
Long story short I miss playing Michael Myers in MW2 😂
This feels like an era of connotation over denotation. We’re losing the value of original meaning to things in favor of buzzwords and who speaks loudest. Death by association.
A decade from now I wonder if our country will have enough literacy to know what literacy even is.
#education
Oof idk if that sounds like a fun kind of challenge haha
I saw footage recently of the beginning where you first walk out into this open greenery. Looked gorgeous but I’m still on the fence.
What sort of game design choices have been standing out to you?
If anyone’s in Philly we’re showcasing it next Saturday for people to play at FringeArts if you want to come check it out! DM me for tickets
So excited to share with y’all the newly released trailer for WESTERN MEMORY. It’s a free to play multiplayer AR game developed by myself and @nebula-a.bsky.social and funded by the Niantic Developer Accelerator.

Interesting, I’ve been experiencing similar issues on PS5 anytime teams decide to all use their ults at the same time haha
Set Designed for a short film last week, did a whole buildout and I love how it turned out.
And the fact that we had an all black team!

A new form of 3D scanning is being developed using voxels instead of splats.
Personally I’m not into the boxed aesthetic, I dig the digital brushstrokes of Gaussian Splatting and how organic they look, instead of this.
But new techniques, more options, are always good.

I guess that’s what the post game is for but I’m replaying it on PS5 and would love the option
Black Fest 2025 @ GDC Connection, insights, celebration & gaming

Can they make a version of Death Stranding for after a long day of work where all you play are levels with pretty mountains and no BT’s?
I promise I’ll still play the main story and fight giants with hands for heads while a baby shrieks from my controller 🙏🏽

This Majorana 1 chip has me thinking back to a paper from 2003 by Nick Bostrom. Long story short, the moment we use quantum computers to make worlds with variables that believe themselves to be real, the probability of us being simulated becomes almost certain.

Playing with an L System to get more comfy with Procedural Generation and I love what I’m seeing. This tree specific one was developed by CGMatter, so dope.

PREMIERING SOON:
"We're in a broken industry with broken game loops."
This #GDoCExpoTalk on Indigenous Futurism by @quantumconnor.bsky.social shares a summative checklist of strategies to design using Indigenous principles & writing archetypes instead of stereotypes. #gamedev

Oh yea that’s definitely a great idea. Add some atmospheric and point lights in your favorite engine and the baked light will be even less noticeable.
I should take note and try to scan under overcast more often
There are some new ways to have dynamic splats reactive light if you pull them into unreal!
Also, I’ve used them to build AR experiences and because they’re somewhat transparent, often audiences give the note that they love how the real world “leaks” through, giving the illusion of lighting it
It’s been cool to work with Splats because it feels very similar to working in projection design, in that it takes up space, but can’t be touched. Instead of it being a 3D model with collisions, it’s more like a virtual cast of light. Love it.

Looks so good I love it ✨
Happy travels fam let us know how it is!!

This piece is abstracted from a 3D scan taken in Philly using the gaussian splatting method. I’ve enjoyed seeing where my scans become most messy and fall apart.
