Today I've reached my third year at SEGA! Here are the games I'm credited on (the ones at the bottom I did a small amount of work but still counts?). The industry DEFINITELY has its ups and downs playing a small part in making these games and working on an incredible team feels amazing.

its insane to me that there's still a sizable subset of people that make the petty distinction between "video game music" and "real music", as if a composer's musical integrity hinges entirely on their proximity to mario

I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible

I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)

Still never gets old to see my name next to so many amazing people. Three years ago this project was passed to me to run the Loc tooling and three years later I am so astounded at what it became. I only played a very small part, but I'm still extremely proud. #MetaphorReFantazio

Seen some upsetting news regarding a JP game company wanting to utilize AI translation, and as a reminder:
AI does not understand character
AI does not understand culture
AI does not understand context
All this will result in is unusable translations and more work for those downstream.
