Don't usually post climbing stuff on here, but it was really nice taking a break from the horrors of the games industry and touch some rocks
Oh that's so awesome! It's up there as one of my favorite games, and I was super lucky to go see the live orchestra!
Logging on to see what's happening in the world after a wonderful day talking to people at GDC
If anyone in the Austin area wants to hear me yap about tech audio and haptics design, I'll be speaking at GDC^2 this year! My presentation is Sat 03/07 @ 11am. Huge thanks to the UT Game Dev Club EGaDS for giving me this opportunity! Sign up - forms.gle/xsNfxtZxzKBP...
I don't think I've been this pissed watching a movie in a long time. Don't get me wrong it was a really good movie, but being a drummer and not wearing ear protection pissed me off to no end. He has some in the poster and the first show, but after realizing his hearing is shot and not using some? 🤬
Oh my god this is absolutely gorgeous @lacedrecords.com I can't wait to give it a listen ❤️
Lets gooo! I've loved all the other Sanderson secret project books I've gotten. I don't own any other books that are nicer than these limited edition ones. Absolutely incredibly well made, with beautiful artwork alongside them. Super happy to see Hoid's stories in picture along with a new book!
I have to take a break from the gym to give a finger injury a rest, so I'll just climb Mount Kami instead!
Oh man I wish I did...honestly kidna a dream game for me to work on 😂 Nah I'm just a pretty avid boulderer, usually climbing 2-4 times a week! Played the demo a few times and instantly fell in love with the game
Between moving a few times in the last few months, and a bunch of post Prime 4 burnout, it's time to get back into the swing things 😎
I finished the Licanius trilogy last week and my god, such an incredible series. I was absolutely bawling by the end of it. Now it's time for my next project, the Green None Saga!
Holy fuck I just finished An Echo of Things to Come and I want to scream. If you know you know 😅 The Licanius trilogy is some of the best books I've read in a hot minute. Can't wait to start book 3!
Looks like a RAM upgrade is in order. Been rocking 16 gigs since 2018, but it's finally starting to chug with UE on my personal rig
When one door closes, another one opens Today marks the end of my contract at Retro Studios creating the haptics for Metroid Prime 4. It has been an absolute honor and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible audio team. I could not have asked for a better first AAA credit.
This has been one of the most incredible GDC experiences. Between catching up with old friends, and creating new friendships, it really was a truly special week. My heart is so full, and I can't wait to fuel all this energy and passion back into our work!
Didn't post at all yesterday, but progress is being made. Game is almost complete, and we still have a few hours to go 💪 Enjoy some California Redwoods and snow!
