The new Resident Evil: Survival Unit is another grand example of mobile games not giving a damn about their source material. I didn't expect much but it's disappointing to see such a half hearted attempt at trying to do something in universe or remotely related to what the franchise is known for.

After hating Jira for a decade and a half, I'm sad to say I miss it a little bit. Some of these other task tracking systems out there are really so half baked I'm shocked people like them.

We had an amazing Extra Life game day stream this year, everyone's support really blew us away. It's the most we've ever raised for charity with the most individual donations we've had!
We're absolutely blown away by all the amazing support from everyone over the weekend. We had a blast dodging green shells and drifting through courses to raise money for #extralife. By the end of the stream we raised $1,501, and with some follow up donos, we're at $1,653 currently!

Blog post 4 is up! This round is about the character sprites 😁

"Our inspiration being The Tower of Druaga, I felt we needed a “classic” seeming hero type and paired with the world being more in the sci-fi cyber realm..."

Finally got off my butt and picked up The Game Designer’s Workbook. I think @bobbylox.bsky.social is a fantastic designer so I know it’ll be a good read before I even start digging into it 😁

Happy to report that at the MtG pre-release for Spider Man, I won 5 out of 6 matches. I was so not confident about my deck too, whew!

In preparation for the Spider Man MtG pre-release event tonight, I'm binging the 1994 Spiderman cartoon.

This theme song is *something*, boy oh boy.

Someone asked me on stream a few months ago what the last game was that made me cry. I've been hung up on this since then, because the answer is surprisingly slim in recent memory.

Meanwhile music gets me all the freaking time.

I've held that Twitch streaming has built skills in my arsenal that have benefited not only my personal life, but my career as well.

There are so many leads just crawl through comms with no energy... my hope is that I've at least helped keep motivations higher and not drag on in meetings.

Feels good to be back in the production seat. This might be the most positive I've felt out the gates and the most ready to be thrown into the fray.
