Glad to be back in Singapore ❤️✨, we are staying in one of the interesting hotel with colorful aesthetic. I really love the design of the laundry room 🤩.

Last working day of the year! Some reflection before the holidays come👀✨. It has really been an exciting year compared to the last. Going back to the foundation and relearning things have been really fun ☺️. And I can say for sure now it is the best decision I made for my sanity and mental health✨.

The satisfaction of creating a map overview with perfectly aligned icons and legend that reflected exactly the function of what everything is in game, and helping people to get a good overview of the available content and our current progression is 😌.

I recently started to prep my meals again after discovering the incredible mixture of ponzu and crispy chili oil sauce for cold somen noodles. I am addicted to that even though it may not be the right season for it 😂.

Over the last few years, I've learned a lot about game design (and I still have a ton more to learn!). In the interest of helping others, I wanted to share a few key concepts that I've picked up. Note that this is geared toward pitching to publishers, and as with any wisdom, YMMV. A thread. 1/ 🎲✂️

Ah yessh 😩 the cold/cough bug always love to visit whenever there is a change of weather or an incoming occasion when you have to travel abroad 🫠. Looks like I am likely going to miss a couple of events for these two weeks 😭.

The usage of references is a great way to ground your level or a location you are working on within a district. The scale, structure and connection within the real world can help you out in crafting a much logical and believable level, especially if you are working on a more realistic game setting.

Just 10 more days till I am back in SG again 🤩✨. The last trip was bittersweet 🥲. I was stuck there last Feb because of my work permit issue but thanks to that, I was also able to spend more time with my family and friends 🥰.

Looking forward to spending time with them again and also the food 🤤.

Just finished Camellya's story in @wutheringwaves.bsky.social. In turns of how she came to be was pretty interesting and the character development over time. I would love to see more complex characters in the future that may not be too over leaning in favor of our main protagonist every time 😂.

It is always good to have a second pair of eyes looking at your work, because there will be bound to be a time when you have seen or tested it so much that you know everything at the back of your head. Especially when looking at a level, it is quite easy to get tunnel vision after a while 😵‍💫.

Not a lot of video games have piqued my interest lately partially because I was spending time away from the screen doing some reading and painting by number kits 😂, but I am definitely going to check this out 🤩.

😌 First julbord of the year with my SG friends here in Stockholm ❤️✨. Lovely company with a delicious buffet spread of food and desserts.

Julskinka and risgryngröt (that butter + cinnamon + sugar combo is chef-kiss) are some of the many things that I always look forward to every Christmas 🤤✨.

A while ago, I did an overhaul of my website after learning how to use React and planning the designs on Figma (It helps alot!) 🤩.

And Netlify and GitHub have been really easy to use for hosting the website and managing revisions ❤️✨.
