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.

Just know that for all my complaints about the way the game ended, I still put in like 40 hours of my life playing Farcry Primal and I really enjoyed it. So thank you to everyone who worked on it. It was a cool game ๐Ÿ˜€

a man with a beard is standing in a cave holding a sword and talking to another man . Alt: urkis new stink

Urki getting new deodorant and then telling me we can get matching tattoos seemed like an odd way to finish the game...

completed the game with the intended final mission...Urki's New Stink! Commence dance party. Enjoyed the game but a tad grindy in the wrong way... especially since the things that felt like side quests were required to finish and could be done out of order which sort of ruins the climax.

Man... design flaw in Far Cry Primal... you can beat the bosses by the character side quest need to be completed before you can roll credits. Now i gotta grind out some missions i kinda didnt care about that didn't have any effect on taking down the big bads. ๐Ÿ˜ค

The high frame rate version of the Hobbit that I saw in the theater was absolutely unwatchable even before you got to the mishandling of the book into a trilogy.

Adobe stock is down because they have an antagonistic relationship with their core customers with predatory subscriptions, culminating with their attempt to impliment and compete as an AI company which their core customers absolutely hate.

back in the 80s and 90s you got like one or 2 games a year for your nintendo or atari cause thats all your parents could afford. Games were like $100 in todays money. And then shareware came out and demo discs and you just played all that free stuff and wondered what the full games were like...

Let's be honest the real missed opportunity for the new Stern Pokemon pinball is having three different machines with 4 different starter Pokemon toys and theme. #pinball #pokemon #arcade

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, Iโ€™m still so proud of what we made.
