It’s time to finally introduce myself here!

Hi!! I am a professional video game and level designer since 2009! Here are pictures of the games I’ve published so far! I am also working on a narrative space opera #ttrpg called Starlight Saga.

I talk basically about #Gamedev and nerdy stuff.

Super interesting documentary. Highly recommended as welll :)
The final episode of Secret Tape’s (our white label production company) three part series on Arc Raiders development is now live.

Very cool to see most of the comments being “please make more of these”.

I just finished The Invincible by @starwardindustries.bsky.social . What a ride! I loved it. It is pretty much Firewatch in space, with great RPG choices and cinematic interactions. Highly recommended :)

I folded and used microsoft's chatgpt to ask it how to turn off its "AI designer" tool that keeps stealing input and giving me suggestions every time I paste an image into powerpoint and it gave me detailed, confident instructions that fail on the very first line

I am so tired of this

In other words, your brain has deteriorated from using AI so much that you can no longer even do something you're supposedly an experienced professional at.
If I ever believed this, you couldn't drag this admission from me

There’s nothing like finishing rereading the Witcher saga while landing in Poland. Something ends, something begins! Btw… awesome short story for the book’s epilogue (and game)

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

It's #Blocktober again, so its time for a reminder about my video for #EpicGames on creating #leveldesign blockouts in #UnrealEngine.

It's part of a series I created as a Level Design Learning Path:

As a level designer, we make huge epic spaces. But sometimes, we just make tiny combat gyms so other teams can properly test their features. Both equally important. #blocktober

I just finished Cocoon! What a masterpiece in game design. It’s the perfect example that shows that constraints always make designs better. Less is more (but not easier)

It’s great that I have finally something I can share for #Blocktober no longer under NDA.

This is one of the (many) “beat’em up” coop prototypes I worked on at Tequila. It was a set of level tiles procedurally ensambled like Warframe youtu.be/4SmsGanQP-k?...

One of my favorite games of all time and probably one of my biggest influences ever. What a ride.

20 years ago today, BioWare revealed their next-gen RPG 'Project SFX', officially titled Mass Effect at Xbox's X05 event in Amsterdam.

It also gave us our first look at Commander Shepard's original model.
