Design Director at Wildlight Entertainment. Previously on Apex Legends, Titanfall 1 and 2, Modern Warfare 2 (OG), World at War, CoD 3 and Big Red One.
Here's all the games I've played beginning to end on the Deck. Loved the Resident Evil games, they play very well on this thing.
Vampire Survivors if you like collecting stuff.
Currently playing NFS Most Wanted. Sea of Stars was just ok, not for me.

My main gripe is that Rivals doesn't feel like I'm playing a Marvel superhero. Heroes don't fight in corridors. Give me open space, and make my powers truly super.

GTA V mods do this well. Take the inspiration and add the sick execution from Rivals.

Take Marvel Rivals characters, abilities, art style, etc. and drop them into an open world city similar to Spider-Man 2.

Heroes vs Villains, Payday style objectives.
10 v 10 or more.

Villains have objectives to blow something up/steal something and Heroes have to stop them.

The control panel was all rusted & I wanted a 6 button for fighting games, so I ordered a repro panel and rewired it. Also took apart the joysticks and cleaned them.
Was fun to learn about JAMMA, which is a connection that has power, A/V and controls all in one, and connects to old arcade boards.

The first time I turned it on, the picture was totally upside down, but the monitor was mounted correctly. I had to get in the back and learn a bit about the monitor chassis to flip the X and Y on the picture. Surprisingly easy!

It was so nasty inside - a shop vac and some cleaning rags did a good job (pics are pre-cleaning) but some day I need to take it all apart and repaint it.
I adjusted the coin mechanism to take quarters instead of 100Yen, and the coin meter still works!
The outside is cleaned but a bit banged up.

Spent my holiday break restoring my new #SegaNewAstroCity cabinet. New control panel, adjusting the CRT, some new wiring, a new florescent bulb for the marquee, tons of cleaning and a few games (XMvsSF and Street Fighter Alpha)
Straight out of a 90's Japanese arcade and it plays so good.

Do all LDs have a layout/concept they use often?

At Respawn, I used Tank Hangars a lot. I loved the big interiors with the Tank set piece, and Pilots had space to play cat & mouse, especially with the underneath paths.
Also worked in Apex pretty well I think, at Repulsor.

Hi! Guess I'm here now.
To celebrate, here's a pic no one's ever seen before. A heatmap of a Titanfall 1 map I worked on, Relic. Pre-release, when we were testing internally for hours a day.
It's beautiful. The paths are well defined and they lead to common fight locations. What you want to see. 👌
