While clearing out an old computer I found some tech art work that I did a few years ago for @WildlifeAlba, and I'm still quite fond of this little ocean shader with lapping waves (that will still run on your grandads old iPad)

You've probably heard the news about the epic layoffs. Sadly I was affected too.
It's been an incredibly turbulent time, my heart goes out too everyone ❤️
If anyone is looking for a Technical Artist/ shader wizard please get in touch, it would be greatly appreciated ❤️

the execs are the ones making terrible decisions & “losing” money but it’s the workers who get laid off - I don’t see tim goddamn sweeney taking a pay cut

Unfortunately, I am one of the people affected by the layoffs today at Epic. I'm absolutely devastated to leave behind so many amazing Mediatonic colleagues who I loved.
So: the job search begins! If you need an experienced writer or narrative designer, please get in touch :)

So yeah, it's looking like I might be getting laid off. If anyone has any Level Design roles going I'd greatly appreciate any pointers or connections ♥️
Just found out about 'Little Computer People' and I'm totally obsessed. LOOK AT THIS LITTLE GUY! It's so mysterious, have decided I need to actually bust out an emulator and see what it is.
Someone has put a shocking amount of love into all of the animations. I don't know what the standard was for it's contemporaries, but it's incredibly smooth. LOOK at how he walks down stairs!
