Hey 👋 #GameDev! I'm Brett! I've been working in games for almost 14 years as a programmer, and am currently working on Darkest Dungeon II's builds, tools and systems.
I'm mostly gonna be posting about my personal work, prototypes, and game engine stuff that I work on in the wee hours of night. 🎮🕹️

Prior to release we had a group of modders test these new capabilities. We collected a few examples to showcase some of their incredible work so far:

This has been a really fun and technically challenging chunk of work for myself. Adding mod support for a fully 3D game via a separate Unity project is something I hope I can talk about in the future.
We’re celebrating the start of the Steam Summer Sale by discounting Darkest Dungeon II to 50% off and adding 2 highly anticipated additions to the game.
First up, Hero Origin Skins are available now via a FREE DLC pack on Steam, Epic and GOG: store.steampowered.com/app/3715610/...
