Nick Crosgrove - Gameplay Engineer for Hire!
@occultgamedev
Looking for my next gig in games! Creative & Gameplay Lead at FateBound Former Senior Gameplay Engineer at Question Games Husband, Dog Dad, He/Him
I've been working on moving away from companies supporting GenAI products and integrations, migrated all my gamedev narrative tooling over to YarnSpinner and it's already significantly more powerful than it was before. Reclaiming our Tooling Sovereignty is the theme for my 2026.
I rebuilt my Mechanics Museum and it's really nice seeing everything documented and laid out cleanly again. I'm also converting a lot of logic over to my custom Level Scripting system as a stress test.
What's happening to the games industry continues to be especially ghoulish, because the actual people in it are some of the most creative, kindest folks you'll ever meet who care deeply about the work they're doing.
The Forbidden @joewintergreen.com Plugin. We can see but never touch.
A Quick #GameDev trick to follow up: You should be instrumenting your Steam Recording Timeline! It's one of the best ways to quickly handle Footage Capture, you can scrub through and immediately understand what you're looking at.
I'm starting to spend serious time getting the Prototype and Pitch info for Moonstone out to folks. If you're scouting for projects, I would love to hear from you! We're building this for SteamDeck and Consoles, and have some very cool surprises in store! #IndieGame #GameDev
This made me laugh, also I do love IX quite a bit so I'll take it.
Breaks with Chinese, Japanese, and German Works with Korean.
...I didn't know people made games just for me! (I'll apply to this today, thanks David!)
She is not ashamed in the slightest that she figured out how to open doors and ran into into the woods.
I THINK I found out why the Gameplay Debugger is constantly freezing on me... The Edit Condition on UPrimitiveComponent::ExcludeFromHLODLevels is chaining up to UWorld::GetWorldSettings literally thousands of times when the Debugger is building and refreshing its widgets. This causes a 33s hitch.
They finally added me. Hells yeah.
Rose Mead Bottled. Finally. It's got an amazing taste and the process created some amazing visuals that looked like an alien atmosphere.
I hope TresCom never changes. ❤️🦖 www.trescom.org
I've never picked up a book quite as immediately as when I was in the GDC Store, flipped the book open, and found this page. I literally picked it up on spec. I must know more. (Worldbuilding for Game Designers)
This is the best Badge Flag at GDC. I am so excited to share this little secret handshake with other sickos.
Hey Informa / #gdc More random Choirs of game music. Less roping off the Yerba. It's literally that easy. There is already enough evil in the world.
Aloy has expressed her immense displeasure at my imminent departure.
I am not feeling confident about my choice to fly United right now...
I dunno. I bet someone out there will be surprised. Or extremely not surprised.
My dreams are basically just the localization dashboard at this point.
I. Vacuumed. This. Morning. (Aloy is blowing her coat.)
This is very funny to anyone who knows my wife.
