Today I joined Epic Games as Lead Gameplay Animator on Fortnite. I will be working with the team on Ballistic, a new first-person mode currently in early access. Here is a look back at some of my work over the past 5 years. https://t.co/0gMX4FUsCn

Welcome to the island @PlayOverwatch

Overwatch is such a beloved game and we wanted to be authentic to the source material, so we asked ourselves the question…

“What if Fortnite had a fully *first* person weapon…”

And here we are!

So if you’re someone who has also pondered what Fortnite would look like in first person, we will see you tomorrow 🫡

Team crushed it 👏

First Person weapon in BR? Come check it out tomorrow!

Many months ago we set out to take Fortnite back to its Battle Royale roots - where every match would feel different, to give the game a quality of life update, and respect what has made Fortnite, Fortnite. I’m left both in awe and hugely proud of this team, and while the new Chapter is only just beginning - it’s great to start it by seeing such positivity from the community. Thank you for the feedback, we’re working our way through all of it - here’s to the future 🫡 🤝

Yesterday, October 29th, was Call of Duty's 22nd birthday. The very first CoD was released on PC. What was the first CoD you played?

@ScarletSprites Same! The cars were poor/mans Voltron. Like GoBots to Transformers. I still have my voltron toy. The big plastic one. The smaller die cast was awesome too.

[Mark DeRidder @markderidder]

@ReedTimmerUSA I so sorry for your loss Reed. Gizmo was an awesome chase partner and family member.

[Mark DeRidder @markderidder]

@ScarletSprites Damn, I would’ve gone!

[Mark DeRidder @markderidder]

@topapate Never played the arcade version. Looking forward to it!

[Mark DeRidder @markderidder]

@Volktronic Clever! Love rigs that easily manage mag handling. This is next level for sure.

In honor of legendary craftsman and teacher, Mr. @BobRossOfficial… you can now partake in The Joy of Painting on Fortnite.

[Mark DeRidder @markderidder]

@anim_xander Ah yes, I get it. Tough to sell for sure. I think lowering hand and raising both elbows might help.

[Mark DeRidder @markderidder]

@anim_xander Shoulder mag pouch? I dig it
