For those doing the #blocktober challenge, please post videos instead of those pesky screenshots with a bunch of lines.

The crowd want to see the level being played not the guiding lines!

Meta Creator Academy + Meta Connect was hella fun.

Love talking tech with devs and engineers in an "open bar" environment.

Yesterday I had the chance to playtest #Militsioner by @tallboys.bsky.social 🎮

And I can safely say that this game is AMAZING.
Immersive, silly, weird, profound… the music, the dialogue, the atmosphere all top notch.

I can’t recommend it enough! Wishlist it!

I got a support ticked responded and solved by Grinding Gear Games in a record time of 5 minutes, answered by an actual HUMAN.

No wonder why GGG and Path of Exile 2 are so beloved.

(I brought the wrong stash tab)

Made another one of my Level Designer Resources posts on Linkedin, this week talking about Rational Level Design.

I made a great pun in it, that I'm really proud, and no-one seems to be getting it... I need help.

Made a new Level Design Resource post on Linkedin, this time getting links and videos that bridge Architecture with games (and a sick 900 gif from THPS2).

UNREAL FREE PLUGINS

Last week I made another Resource post on LinkedIn, this time about free plugins to the Unreal Engine that I recommend!
(especially the one that adds a Restart button)

Just dropped another Level Resources post on LinkedIn!

This week I’m talking about Level Forge Editor, a neat new tool that lets you prototype levels right in your browser.
Fast, simple, and it even exports to Unreal, Unity, and Godot.

Just dropped a new Level Design Resource on LinkedIn, bringing it here too!

It's all about Kishōtenketsu, a classic design technique Nintendo uses to teach and evolve mechanics in a fun, frustration-free way.

Pretty happy with all the feedback Naked Sneak has been receiving so far!

I’m currently working on the final Dev Diary, so everyone can get a glimpse of the full journey, from start to finish.

So keep tuned!

Hey folks from my bluesky.

Just dropping by to say I’m moving to Vancouver this Friday!

So if you’ve got tips for the best coffee shops, the 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑠 or where can I adopt a raccoon to raise as my own kin.

I'm all ears!

In today’s Level Design Resources, I’m going to test the waters and see how much shitposting I can get away with on LinkedIn.

Two months ago, I kicked off a weekly Level Design Resources series on LinkedIn.

Now that I’ve started reposting them here, I compiled them into a easy-to-access Archive on my portfolio!

I've been sharing these Level Design Resource posts on Linkedin for awhile, but just crossed my mind that maybe it also could a space on Bluesky.

This week I shared 4 Books that helped me shape my design language and process.
