Paid to design games, born to watch videos on where the power lines go

Technical Designer, will try to keep this about personal dev stuff. Obviously all opinions are my own…
Here is my recent snapshot, Fortnite.gg is great at telling me where in discovery No Safe Passage is. The Red is in the "New Updates" section which is mostly buried where the blue is in the more prominant "New and Updated" section. Wonder what CTR would have been in a "New/Up Roguelike" section?

Also, while I am here.

I got nominated and now a finalist for an award! Crazy right?

Super cool to say that I am a finalist in the Rising Star catagory for the 2025 #GameDevHeros awards! If you are at #Develop this year say hello to me!

If you have gotten this far, I might as well give you more info. Trying new platforms is my 2025 so UEFN is first on my list. I made an "island" which is a continuation of one of the tutorials. Remaking CS's 1v1 servers. fortnite.gg/island?code=...

Dust off your projects day 7: For my last day, here is the example 3D platformer I made for a course I taught. Birb the Bird.

For the last day of Dust Off Your Projects, who wants to share one of their abandoned/finished projects?? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame

Dust off your projects day 6: Bit of a strange one but this was a little experiment into attempting to create a small window game. Like a mixture of an idle game and a Tamagotchi. It would also play YouTube livestreams through an in game radio while your guy fishes

Dust off your projects day 5: Nearly missed it today but we got another pokémon prototype! Time time based off one of my old teaching templates. Really wanting nintendo to sue me at this point

Really enjoying seeing other peoples projects! Share below! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pokémon

Dust off your projects day 4: Another gamejam. 8 hour game jam :Luna Eats, mashup of Crazy Taxi, Race'N'Chase , and delivery apps such as Deliveroo.

Shout out to @atomic-arc.com for dusting off a project yesterday! Anyone want to share today?! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Actually found a really early version of this project and still I wish I had done more with this transition

Dust Off Your Projects Day 3: made for a gamejam. Think of Tetris, Space Invaders, and Missile Command! (with the real-life fear of ocean pollution) A project I was rather proud of doing solo over 5 days.

Anyone want to share a project of their own for day 3? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

Dust Of Your Projects Day 2: The Pokémon project that got me d*ath threats

Made a pokémon remake in 30 days for a satirical video. Went better than actually expected but still really a prototype. Maybe one day I'll do something with this concept!

Does anyone want to share theirs today? #gamedev

With 7 days til Christmas, I want to start a #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame trend where you dust off a project and show it off!

1. my most recent retirement, a rouge lite platformer where players must use a grappling hook to survive a constantly growing labyrinth

Not game dev related but it’s my dogs birthday today. Say happy 3rd birthday to Guinness

Not really what I was looking for but after seeing the transition between 3D to 2D looks insane!

Instead of taking my partner for a nice dinner while we are away.

I drag them to take a photo in front of @embarkstudios.bsky.social to celebrate #thefinals one year birthday.

Gotta go to stockholm for week or so but we have some form of network replication throughout the guns. Weapons can fire, thrown and damage others somehow. Up next, we rob a bank #indiedev #gamedev #hobby

Finally put down OpenTTD and spent a day on making a weapon system utlising a data driven design. Honestly this project doesn't need something this robust but here we go #gamedev #indiegamedev
