Hey y'all, taking a shot in the dark here.
I got laid off from my test automation engineer job over a year ago now, looking for a new role!

I have 5+ years of qa experience, a degree in game programming and am a digital artist! Any leads would be great!

Hey Richard, thanks for hosting #TurnBasedThursday!

I'm making Star Spark, a tactical turn-based fighting game in which players battle their way through an anime inspired survival tournament.

Motivation is hard, especially when I don’t feel forward progress or have my ADHD meds.

Drives me up the wall
It didn’t start with the AI overviews though; they had been undermining their own search features with “did you mean $OTHERTHING” when you had searched for $THING, and ignoring advanced search syntax entirely (Boolean operators, quotes, etc). LLMs just turbocharged the decline.

Mario Party is a videogame version of The Purge for all the intrusive thoughts you’ve ever had about betraying your friends or destroying someone’s happiness.

An outlet for destructive behavior that allows society as a whole to move forward with fresher minds.

Horrifying, but ultimately necessary.

Me: Okay just because the sun sets early and it's cold and rainy out doesn't mean I can't stay positive and motivated to do my work

Gamedev is HARD. But I love it. Every bit of it. It's like balancing on a rope and you have 20 completely independent limbs, each steeing differently. Pure joy ❤️ (I mean it) Thoughts? (Demo 2nd of Dec.!!)

I'm one of the few non-binary voice actors who has vocally transitioned while recording.

Here's an example of a role I worked before and during puberty: Enkidu from the FATE series.

I've also authored trans-centric speech therapy curriculum alongside trans Speech Language Pathologists.

Rewatching Outlaw Star and theyre on a fighting ring episode and all Ctarl-Ctarl (brown catbeast-transforming race) are banned from entering because of a... Mike Tyson-like incident.

Hoo boy lmfao

Got my 2nd boss pattern done (it functions) yesterday and I'm pretty proud of the idea. Three more attacks and it'll be time to draw sprites for my first boss, and brother's OC, Linir.

*Very* excited to talk about the themes and influences I put into him.
