I am tired of seeing friends and colleagues, people I love and respect as a fan, people I know to be great at what they do as a dev, to be treated this way by this damn industry man :(

Experimenting with various formulas/geometry and resolutions for the terrain deformation and I may or may not, possibly, maybe perhaps, messed up certain calculations. Just a feeling. A hunch. Couldn't really say... 🤔

That said; the game has great bones. Its fun, its runs smooth for early access, and understansbly received well. I just hope through this success they stand by their word and do right by the VAs of the industry.
Well turns out Jump Space uses AI for voices. Could've just not added voice to said items or whatever during Early Access. 😩

Developing a real-time terrain interactions tool for Unity for an idea I'm prototyping. Mainly catering to vehicles, but it should work for anything that needs real-time deformation with physics (i.e explosions) & per-texture properties (i.e physics, particles). It's been a fun new challenge 👀

How in 2025 and Unity 6.whatever the built-in WheelCollider is still based on a single vertical raycast to the ground at the center instead of a full sweep..? The hoops this engine has been making me jump through at every corner for the last decade... 😮💨

Ophelia is one of the best human beings I've ever gotten to know and an absolute gem in her work. As a gamedev, collegue, DM, eternal enemy, and a friend; she is top tier and any team would be vastly stronger with her.
I have been affected by the recent restructures at Bethesda and am looking for opportunities in Influencer, Community, Marketing and more!
It’s been an amazing 5 year run and I’m proud of everything we’ve done ✨

I wanted to write something from here as well for all of our Zenimax/Bethesda friends affected by the Microsoft/Xbox layoffs but it's just... Every one of you we've interacted with as gamers, content creators, fans and friends have been amazing and you deserve better than what this industry does :(

Here have this photo of the most unbothered kitten from our jam site for GGJ this year. There are always several cats around (because Türkiye 🇹🇷) but this one sleeping absolutely care-free amongst us 100 loud, chaotic jammers deserved a special photo.

Elder Scrolls Online and Destiny 2 still make up majority of my gaming time, even when I'm "taking a break" or "no longer playing"... 🙃 Though I can blame @ramiismail.com for the Destiny spike. Always happy to jump back in for several sleepless nights to raid. o7
