Just your gamedev Uncle up in WA. Made a short game on Xbox. Kinda goofy & violently nerdy. Mexican/Japanese-Hawaiian.

Hello my blue friends! Im a teeny #gamedev that tends to make short games based on my life. Untitled Darkness portrays what my battle with depression has been like & released on Xbox Series X not long ago. While it may not be a top seller, Im very proud of it. #indiedev www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

Multiple times, I've been offered a job with reduced title and compensation, but the exact same responsibilities and goals, explicitly due to lack of AAA experience.

Glad I have AAA titles under my belt now, but it was so disheartening at the time.

Today is my bday. This day never meant much to me until I lost my stepfather 4 yrs ago on Nov 14th. Now I am reminded of the great man my family lost, but also how us kids all are who we are because of him. It sounds like a sad day, but it is not. These are happy tears. Oh, Fuck cancer.
A picture of an amazing stepfather with the statement “Because of this man, I know men can cook, clean, & raise their kids the same way woman do. Because of this man, I know I shouldn’t just come home from work, sit in the chair & ask the wife “whats for dinner?” Because of this man, I know I can be so much more than what old sexist gender roles say I am to be. Because of this man, I am who I became, this person you see before you. While I am finding it hard to figure out who I am supposed to be without him now, knowing he set me on the right path gives me hope. Fuck cancer. Love you pops.”

After about 7 hrs, I am finishing building it! Love how it came out, but building it kinda sucked at times because of how tiny it is.

Go support the POSSESSOR(S) team! I got work on a few areas of the game and it was so fun and refreshing! This team put so much love into it!!!

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.

I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.
