To celebrate the Grand Opening of OneZeno Games, here's a sneak peek of an upcoming Fortnite UEFN-made map meant to test your timing and movement skills. 👀

"The only thing more powerful than hate is LOVE!"

Yesterday was a special day for us. It reminded us of something powerful: no matter where you come from, your voice matters, and your voice deserves to be heard. We live in a world that can be violent, a world where people may try to judge or discriminate against us because of how we look, or even because of the language we speak. But the truth is simple, we are all human. There are no illegal humans. We are all different, and that difference is not a weakness. It is what makes us special. It is what makes us human. Our culture is something we must protect, something we must carry with pride, no matter how much others try to tear it down. To anyone who feels alone, to anyone who feels like giving up... don’t. Keep going. Keep fighting for your dreams. And take it from us, just a couple of nerds making video games from a small island called Puerto Rico.

I miss being around, but I know all of you are working hard and doing amazing things! Despite all the chaos in the world, I hope that you all are taking care of yourselves. Feel free to share your moments or highlights, keep me in the know! Hope y'all are having fun, peace! 🌟

I have one more thing to add; Today is my last day as the Chief Advocate for the PRGDA, I am proud of all the hard work that was done, and I am more than happy that I was able to make a significant impact. I will lend my hand volunteer whenever possible. !Pa' lante siempre! 🇵🇷

On another note, did you know that I collect vinyl records? Let's just say this year I collected a lot, including: DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS by Bad Bunny, Tourist History by Two Door Cinema Club, Data by Tainy, Human After All Remixes by Daft Punk, and so many more! 💽

Besides that, I was not joking about the side quests. I've lost track of how many things I did this year, but I can say for sure that I touched grass more than once. 🌱

Related to this, we opened up OneZeno Games! I got to work on quite a few things for them - including educational content, and as I'm working on one more thing for them, I'm hoping that I can share it soon. 🤯

Speaking of projects, one of them was for the opening of Create-It Studios, and it quite awesome to create! Looking forward to keep experimenting and building technical demonstrations, I know I want to explore further Game Engine + OSC capabilities! 🤩

I might be missing in action, but I worked on a lot of cool projects (mostly for educational purposes). I have used: Unity, GameMaker, Roblox Studio, UE5, UEFN, and a few more tools. I keep learning and creating, I would love share more in the future. 😎

As I keep working more with Unreal Engine, I found myself watching a lot of @gdfuentes.bsky.social videos and breakdowns on level design! Not only have those videos helped me learn a few new tricks, but he is also working on Gate Zero! Keep on the good grind brother, proud of you! 💪🔥

Not only that, but the @pichongames.bsky.social crew has been killing it! From the reveal trailer for The Bunny Graveyard II to the demo release of Chunky Jump!, they are getting better and better - and they are continuing to build great projects! 👻🕹️

I wanna congratulate my buddies at @fortynoforte.bsky.social for the Steam Early Access release for Attrition! I'm excited to see what is being cooked up, and hopefully, I'll join a match session to try out the game! 🧙‍♂️✨

One word to describe my 2025: "Busy". A lot of focus, a lot of work, a lot of thinking, a lot of troubleshooting, and a lot of side quests - yet I felt more detached than usual. Despite this, I will highlight some of my moments and celebrate my friends' achievements! ❤️🧵

Besides this, I was able to visit Create-It Studios! Got to see the Ableton + UE5 project I built for them, but I was also able to mix in Dolby Atmos for the first time! Other than that, I'm glad that this was such an unforgettable experience - can't wait to see what's next! 🤠

For the past weeks, I worked on a project that became OneZeno Games! It is a community-driven hub that brings together gaming and emerging tech to provide a space for competition, networking, and education - located within the Walmart Supercenter in Franklin, Tennessee. 🤩

Earlier this year I worked on an interactive visualizer for Create-It Studios with UE5 + Ableton Live! Unreal picks up MIDI from Ableton (via MaxForLive/OSC), making various assets react to notes in real time. It was shown at the opening event—and you can still try it out if you visit their space! 🥳
