Hola, I'm Ashley! My days are spent as a PM at Unity, where I've worked on features like Visual Scripting, Shader Graph, Physics, and ECS. I also make indie games and like game jams, sewing, and surfskating.
Always down to chat #gamedev and help folks get their Unity feedback to the right place! 💙

I've been lucky enough to work with @andremc.bsky.social and can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for a stellar technical game designer!
He's also the magic behind youtube.com/@mixandjam, a must-watch for anyone working with #Unity3D. 💙

One of my old #UnityTips:
You can use @unity.com Shader Graph + Sprite Shape tools to easily draw lines w/ cool effects.
Ex: Used 6 SG nodes to make a dotted-line shader for a single sprite. Added Sprite Shape spline points + set its Profile to tile my sprite for a lasso-tool effect! ✌️

A great #gamedev book from 2016 now free, check it out if you're into the history of games in Latin America.
Picked it up on a whim at GDC a while back and loved it! It was nice to see it had many familar faces and I was surpised it even cited a game jam I ran in Puerto Rico long ago. 🇵🇷

OMG I heard a rumor that my book Cultural Code: Video Games and Latin America (price $50) was LEAKED!
They say anyone who follows the link can just read it for FREE. My work is publicly accessible. 😱 If people shared this link or the PDF the word could spread further. 😬😬😉

Organized a #gamedev research effort for Unity at Gamescom this year. In 5 days, my crew and I interviewed 230+ game studos!
Finally got to share the results internally, I'm so happy. Put a lot into this to ensure community feedback is loud and clear as we work to make Unity better for everyone. 💙

pupdate: pablo has reached 15(!), is doing great, and now has an annoying little brother.
gizmo (11) came from a german shepard resuce, has a perma-blep, and we've yet to convince him he's really a chihuahua.
they form brief alliances to beg for cheese and disrupt my zoom calls as evidenced below
