As a level designer, we make huge epic spaces. But sometimes, we just make tiny combat gyms so other teams can properly test their features. Both equally important. #blocktober

It’s great that I have finally something I can share for #Blocktober no longer under NDA.

20 years ago today, BioWare revealed their next-gen RPG 'Project SFX', officially titled Mass Effect at Xbox's X05 event in Amsterdam.
It also gave us our first look at Commander Shepard's original model.

I was lucky enough to be present in that talk! Visiting GDC as part of my first internship and it was once in a lifetime experience. I met lots of people I’m still friends with. I would love to be back. :)
Oh! And this this talk blew my mind. As well as the game :)
