Gamedev and Electronics. Previously Skyrim, Fallout, Oblivion, Aeon Flux, Blood Rayne 2. Now independent, I make small games and fancy light up dice!

Happy New Year All! I'll start the year off by sharing what I've been working on: pretty light up dice with Bluetooth 🤯

Part 3: Model Crittizens
What designers needed was an aspirational example - something that would never have been possible in the old system.

Not only would it prove the value of the tech - it'd inspire the team to dream bigger than boxes we were used to working in.

[Joel Burgess @JoelBurgess]

Why not upgrade sooner than Skyrim? The argument came down to something we'll call "time to parity".

That is: how long will it take to implement a new language AND, crucially, before users can achieve the same results in it that they're currently capable of with the old tech?

[Joel Burgess @JoelBurgess]

Deeply subjective, but this duality is why critters struck me as a spark of unscripted genius, and why I think they resonated so well with players. So I've always been proud of my bit in making them happen.

But again: that's artsy-fartsy. Let's talk about the technical side.

[Joel Burgess @JoelBurgess]

Skyrim turns 10 this week, and I'm taking the excuse to write a thread I've been meaning to do for a while.

Let's talk about critters.

I’m thrilled to announce I am the new Marketing & Project Manager for @GameWithPixels! Bringing #PixelsDice to life from a $3.5 mil KS is going to be incredible, I can’t wait. I’m excited to bring my #AccessibilityInTabletop passion from running @dotsrpg to make them even better!

@0xGradius Thank you so much! Yeah Bomb squad is very dear to me; I am very proud of how original and, just as importantly, authentic it feels.
Financially it wasn't enough to make a sequel though, I had so many ideas...

[Jean Simonet @jean_simonet]

@CalvinHannam Follow @pixels_dice, there's a bunch of updates there!

My art book, Pursuit, was chosen as a finalist for the 2020 International Book Awards! Thank you @readfuriously for taking a chance on me. I wouldn’t have gotten here without your input, encouragement, and support.

Which one are you? Wrong answers only.

@IridiumGameDev I have a UPS, and you have to hold the button down for a full 3seconds to turn it off.

This was of no consequence to my cat 😡🤯

coding phrases that don't exist but should:

perl-clutching: being controlling about how others code

the floor is java: religiously avoiding certain languages or frameworks for no real reason

seeing i to i: when developers actually agree on something

Hello! I've written a bunch of tutorials for #Unity3D's #shadergraph, for the Universal RP (previously known as the Lightweight RP). They are all listed nicely here :

I really wish I still had those videos where I so proudly showed off the turn-in-place anims... 😂

@timonsku And if it helps, this is what my .vscode folder ended up looking like: https://t.co/VfwLMbTnj2
