Had an awesome evening at PAX East! Got to demo GATE and enjoy a bit of South Boston. I’ll be back at PAX tomorrow morning if anyone wants to meet up!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I did some more work on the Unity version of GATE! I added a task system, ragdoll effects, heat distortion, and a game over screen.

Hey all, I've been working on the Unity version of GATE. I added footstep audio, lava damage, a gallery with development screenshots, Discord and GitHub buttons, switching input icons based on the current input device, and Steam Deck support!

Happy New Year’s Eve! As 2024 comes to an end, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who networked with me this year. Going to the Game Developers Conference back in March was an incredible experience, and despite the layoffs still going on, the game industry is still my home. #gamedev #newyearseve

2024 was my first Spotify year listening to podcasts, and my favorite one so far has been The @kitandkrysta.bsky.social Podcast!

Happy Thursday! I have another GATE update. I added a minimap to the Unity version of the project. I also added universal input icons to the key bindings. The art assets are by Julio Cacko, who made some amazing icons under the CC0 1.0 Universal license! juliocacko.itch.io/free-input-p...

Are we having a Lord of the Rings/Kraven the Hunter trend since they’re releasing the same day?

Made some progress on GATE! I added a character model to the Unity version complete with animations, though it's not final yet. I have to revisit the character model. Worked on UI for the Godot version. All three versions, including Unreal, now have normal and ambient occlusion maps. #gamedev

Happy Friday, everyone! As of this week, Project Venari has been rebranded to the Game Assets & Technology Example (GATE) project! Introducing the project's mascot, Della the Gate! The project will continue to serve as a gateway for developers to make games based on it.
