And that's my 2nd GDC wrapped! Besides being super happy to hang with old frienss and make new ones, it was also my first time as a speaker - was definitely an experience spending the whole week nervous for it but I thankfully have a ton of supportive pals.

If you have a free moment during GDC, I highly reccommend giving The Visitors at the SF MoMA a visit - really lovely musical experience!

Another year of GDC means time for a business card update, and a business card update is also an excuse for a profile picture update! I wanted to go with something more playful this year, so I went for making my card a "RPG character sheet".

Had an amazing time at the Shovel Knight concert today in NYC! Admitedly I haven't played most of the games but the music is just so good

Accidentally added an accent to my branch name and this may now be one the fanciest Git branches I've ever worked on

Really loved @jasonlatino.bsky.social 's talk at the @nyugamecenter.bsky.social today! Really clear perspective on the past, present and future of cinematics game plus a lot of smart responses in the Q&A.

Got to try the Wands of Gamelon and, quirky animations aside, it's a not great but still surprisingly decent platform adventure for the era

Went to NYC premier of The Colors Withn and really enjoyed it! There's something so soothing about a coming-of-age story with charming characters just living their life and growing. The director Q&A was really cool too!

Just watched Patema Inverted and can't stop thinking about how a puzzle platformer where you have to control two characters with reverse gravity sounds like an awesome game idea. Maybe might prototype it...?

🕹 Made a lot of cool little game prototypes in different technologies like Arduino, Playdate, Twine, Inform and even spreadsheets! Being at the NYU Game Center has been a great opportunity to push myself creatively outside my comfort zone and try a lot of stuff I wouldn't have otherwise.

✈ Went to GDC for the first time! I've followed GDC from afar for years, so it was almost surreal to be in-person at places I had seen so many photos of like Yerba Buena. Besides having a great time as part of the CA program, it was just great to chat so much with amazing developers.

✨ Helped released a free game on Steam that is currently sitting at right over 4000 Very Positive reviews! While we made the original version for a game jam way back in 2022, my gut feeling after the positive reception was that it could go even further... and the feeling was right!

Didn't take any before picture, but it feel pretty satisfying to final do some cable management on my standing desk!
