I guess omw to #GDC is as good a time as any to finally make my #intropost! 😅

Hello there! I'm a gameplay engineer with a specialty in NPCs. Currently developing the pilots in aerial combat for Metalstorm, and previously the creatures roaming the world of Wizard With A Gun.

Glad to be here!

Folks have asked me recently how much it costs to attend #GDC and how to do it cheaply. Tbh, the convention definitely has both affordability & accessibility issues. I can't fix this unilaterally, but fwiw and in case it helps, here's some context and tips around the costs of my trip...

We've gone meta - our #gamedev process now has progress bars too!

They say "you can't improve what you don't measure", and tbh, this has been a big help ensuring we make steady strides in filling out the levels to our puzzle game, The BridgeMaster 📈
