I'm sad to share that I have cancelled the game that I have been working on for the last couple of years. Progress had completely stalled and I felt like the game had no direction or point of view.
I've started working on a little narrative driven game, something I'm truly passionate about.✨🍃

I've been through the darkest times over the last 15 months and I am beyond proud of myself for not only pushing through, but also exceeding my own expectations
I am determined to channel this drive into my own game this year. If I can achieve last year, I can do anything.

I think the worst part about going through an uncertain layoff period is that every time you open social media you are reminded that you literally have no idea if you'll have a job in a few weeks.

The guilt of not working on my own game triggers me every day to the point where I end up just opening Unreal 5 and staring at it.
I need to give myself some grace and remove the self-imposed pressure. I want to replan and prioritise my goals and start manifesting for 2025 🍃

Well we didn't win the award for VR Game of the Year but I am so proud that we were nominated in the first place.
We put so much work into the adaptation of Metal: Hellsinger VR and I can't believe I can say I was the producer on a game with such an accolade.
The imposter syndrome took 10 dmg!

Having a much needed break and reset after the last few years out here in Tokyo. My legs don’t agree though, I’ve not walked as much in years 😭🥰
