Introduction post!
Hi I'm Steve, and I've been working in Unreal for something like 20 years now. I'm back working in AAA Game Dev again and even some VR dev but please enjoy the Virtual Studio showreel of my work from the past few years.
I have a ton of fun making magic happen, hope it shows 😅

Dying, like legit CRAVING some new deep RPG video game experience.
Steam's reccs are useless.
Don't want JRPG or similar, just western XP compulsion loop with a lot of exploration, discovery, and wildly different character leveling options.
Hit me if you have recent/hidden favs.

Traditional 2D animation was drying up/failing (again 🙄) and a buddy had gotten a job at Midway doing mocap and said "we need more animators who can do this and you'll learn this in like two days, it's easy"
I did, and later I started *scripting* animations and that's how I fell into Tech Design 🤷

Not gonna say what I just watched, but there's a scene where someone has a saline bag on their wheelchair and every other shot the saline bag level changes, DRAMATICALLY (like, half, quarter full) and it pulled me right out of an otherwise dramatic scene. Literally every other cut, UP DOWN UP DOWN 🤦

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!
It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!
So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.
But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.
It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.
