Introduction post!
Hi I'm Steve, and I've been working in Unreal for something like 20 years now. I'm back working in AAA Game Dev again and even some VR dev but please enjoy the Virtual Studio showreel of my work from the past few years.
I have a ton of fun making magic happen, hope it shows 😅

Back in the 1980s, all you needed for a TV concept was a tall, mysterious Vietnam vet and a cool vehicle. This was multiple entire shows.

Finally was able to build the "Satan" ball (and the "Sun" ball) and ha ha ha HOOOOOLY MOTHER OF GOD is that evil
Basically, if it is "on the field" it damages EVERY SINGLE VISIBLE ENEMY O_O.
Same with the Sun but less and also blinds them.
Have to build Incubus & Succubus and then combine = SATAN

I legit don't get the "we didn't have the money to hire voice talent" like we had no money and was just the two of us (Indie AF) and we worked with and signed 2 (TWO) UNION VAs to do all the voices on Island 359? It's NOT HARD? The union will hold your hand and show you how to properly do it? 🤷

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Cookie’s rescue fell through, so I would love if he and Houdini could get adopted together, but they would also do just fine each going to a home that already has a cat or cat-friendly dog! Cookie is my sweet sensitive boy, the roundest kitten, and very soft. Fostered in Los Angeles!
