Hi! I'm Itzu!
I'm an indie game developer and former mechanical engineer. I also sometimes write stories!
I have three characters but the main one is Itzu. Attached is his ref sheet (My other characters are Sura the secretary-bird-taur and Warranty Void the undead protogen)

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

can't wait to show y'all the next things I'm working on for Escape Velocity. I'm making the full game maps rn and it's got some cute ideas. I really like the Friend Wedge and the weird physics puzzles it enables, for example (WIP model)

My first post on Bluesky! This is a short video from our game Dome, which we’re currently developing. The game is still in its early phase. Hopefully, someone will see this post >.<

If only audiences had decades of experience where, when they put on the new Bond film, it's some other guy without explanation.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

I mean, we all knew The Game Awards is basically two E3 presentations wearing a trenchcoat, and Geoff Keighley an empty, light, flaky Kojima Productions-branded phyllo dough shell of a man. But god damn.
I am once again begging y'all to elevate the DICE and BAFTA game awards above this shit.
