That's a wrap for #G4C Festival!

I'm really happy I came to volunteer.

Coming back to this building reminded me of the reasons why I started my Game Designer journey.

It was a pleasure meeting my new connections.

Until next time, Games for Change!

Yesterday I was tech lead for Waffle Games 8.0, a free games conference in NYC.

We had industry talks, game demos, and tournaments with @riotgames.com

Most importantly, I got my waffle 🧇 (we had only 1 waffle maker).

I haven't used Twine since college, but I've always wanted to come back and make a polished, text-based game.

Below is a snippet of another project I'm working. 👇🏼

I can't say much, but I'm happy to say I'll be doing a lot of economy and progression system design. 🙂‍↕️

I updated my portfolio's "Project Dreamscape" page at the top with the latest information + contributions.

I also added a new section at the bottom, "Quest Categories & Criteria System".

It's confirmed: "Project Dreamscape" is officially named "Dreamscape" 💫

You play as a fast-asleep dreamer who battles against their inner "dreamons" in a subconscious world.

We combine hack-and-slash combat with building mechanics to deliver a new kind of experience within the roguelike genre!

I updated my page for "Project Dreamscape" to share my latest contributions. Here's what I did:

✅ Removed the 'Play' button from the project card

✅ Replaced the header GIF with a steadier one

✅ Added a summary and 2 new sections that share my design processes

Portfolio update! 💼👇🏼

Since Sept. I've been in a team of 70+ developers at the EGD Collective working on a new game, "Project Dreamscape".

While it's not finished, I've begun to add content to my portfolio page ahead of #GDC25.

Over the last 2 months I had a blast playing Sea of Stars by @sabotagestudio.com (all the way to their "Flimsy" Easter Egg!)

I made an interactive model that simulates the progression of any character's specific stat from level 1-30.

One month away from #GDC25.

Last time I made it thanks to @prgda.net and found community at the Cafecitos meetup hosted by @latinxingaming.bsky.social.

I'll be returning a more experienced Game Designer ready to contribute to that supportive environment.

Who else is going to GDC? Let's meet up!
