Google's new AI 'world model' has seemingly spooked videogame investors, but it's hard to know what it will actually lead to
Can auto-generated "worlds" really be exciting?

Have I neglected my projects and streams in 2025? Yes.
Have I instead recovered from several injuries and chronic pain, and got in the best shape of my life at 32? Also yes.
And now its time to get back to it all and cook in 2026.

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 :(
Funcom, the Oslo-based studio behind the recently released Dune: Awakening, has announced it will be laying off staff.

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 ✨
