Just your gamedev Uncle up in WA. Made a short game on Xbox. Kinda goofy & violently nerdy. Mexican/Japanese-Hawaiian.

Hello my blue friends! Im a teeny #gamedev that tends to make short games based on my life. Untitled Darkness portrays what my battle with depression has been like & released on Xbox Series X not long ago. While it may not be a top seller, Im very proud of it. #indiedev www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

Multiple times, I've been offered a job with reduced title and compensation, but the exact same responsibilities and goals, explicitly due to lack of AAA experience.

Glad I have AAA titles under my belt now, but it was so disheartening at the time.

Today is my bday. This day never meant much to me until I lost my stepfather 4 yrs ago on Nov 14th. Now I am reminded of the great man my family lost, but also how us kids all are who we are because of him. It sounds like a sad day, but it is not. These are happy tears. Oh, Fuck cancer.
A picture of an amazing stepfather with the statement “Because of this man, I know men can cook, clean, & raise their kids the same way woman do. Because of this man, I know I shouldn’t just come home from work, sit in the chair & ask the wife “whats for dinner?” Because of this man, I know I can be so much more than what old sexist gender roles say I am to be. Because of this man, I am who I became, this person you see before you. While I am finding it hard to figure out who I am supposed to be without him now, knowing he set me on the right path gives me hope. Fuck cancer. Love you pops.”

After about 7 hrs, I am finishing building it! Love how it came out, but building it kinda sucked at times because of how tiny it is.

Go support the POSSESSOR(S) team! I got work on a few areas of the game and it was so fun and refreshing! This team put so much love into it!!!

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.

I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

I am not one to post like this usually, but as things have developed recently, I want to take a minute and get some stuff off my chest.

Finally finished the last of our 2D Platformer Tile Sets - the house interiors. Most of the overworld sets contained little houses so it makes sense to let your players go inside 😅 Our paid patrons can get all 12 Tile Sets (768 assets) right now! www.patreon.com/posts/142909... #gamedev

You think no one cares about the games you’re making, then boom, someone stops you in line at KFC and tells you they played your last game with their kid. 🥹
