In case you missed this amidst the posts about my game projects;

I’ve released my first solo album this week. It is a combination of ambient, piano, experimental and cinematic music. Go check it out :)

I made a thing, and today I'm sharing it with the world.

I love big synths, I love lazy beats, and I love jamming all through the night.

Dance of the Woocatcher is out now on all major streaming platforms.

Now that #UE5.1 is out, I've taken the time to update an older post which goes over some tips to improve performance with MetaSounds.

A few simple things that can make a huge difference when things get more complex!

Metroid Prime Dev Stories #10: Use a good random number generator! When we first started working on Phendrana Drifts (the snow level) we created a particle system that shows snow. You can see the gently falling snow in this clip. 1/4

@BonteAvond I literally don't care about the bouquets. I will go for music Every Single Time. My solo on the vacuum cleaner was epic!

[Rene derks @thayoost]

Ohw @BonteAvond's Once upon a Jester, you are such a weird little beast. You ooze personality in this world of slick entertainment. I'm loving it!

[Rene derks @thayoost]

Thanks for sharing your experiences @BuasGames !

[Angel A. @ThePaladon]

Once Upon a Jester is now available on the Nintendo eShop!! don't mind as we're celebrating with pie 🥧

[Rene derks @thayoost]

@blokk_games @Spellenspektake We honestly had such a good time (mid-right pic). Coop 4by4 with a dice, and we needed green and orange as the two last rolls for a perfect score. Lady luck helped a hand and the cheer was heard all across the conference center :D

Quality game!!

[Alan Jack @alanjack]

Getting back to prepping #levelDesign slides, and my project kick-off lends me the opportunity to teach one of my favourite #gameDesign points:

That you need to answer the HARD but SIMPLE questions FIRST when figuring out what you're making!

[Edd Coates | Game UI Database 2.0 @EddCoates]

Right, let's celebrate this properly. We did it, the Game UI Database has finally reached 1000 games!!

It goes without saying that I never expected to hit this milestone, and I couldn't have done it without you all.
