So think I’ve sorted out the microphone issues…maybe…lol I think I’m gonna have to get like a pro to really help me eventually. But will try and stream again! Hopefully tonight but we will see :)

you know that feeling you get when you're riding high all day because you had a good stream the night before but you get home to try and make some shorts out of it only to realize your audio had been clipping and crackling the whole time?
....yea......FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

Think I have a pretty solid idea for the indie game I'm going to be working on :)

Really struggled to settle on an idea that I think might be do-able in a short time frame but still interesting and engaging enough for me to stick with it lol.

decided to hop back into Unity! Set a goal for myself this summer to design and publish a small game end to end. Will be posting progress here to help keep me accountable :)

first step is refreshing skills by taking some classes from @gamedevtv.bsky.social the Turn based game course seems fun :)

Latest video is live! And it’s been a long time coming lol

This time I’m trying to train an ai to beat the original 1993 doom campaign using various reinforcement learning techniques! With some…unique results :)
Let me know what you think!

How do you find the balance of informing your audience how a complex subject works at a high level but also moving the conversation along at a brisk pace?

Working on a new video, and my "brief" intro to reinforcement learning is clocking in at 85 seconds...which feels way too long lol
