Why a frog? Let @luckshotgames.com tell you why.

Reality check for people doing Next Fest: it’s a multiplier on how many wishlists you have going in and aside from that your chart ranking is based on how many eyeballs / players / playtime you bring in. Don’t expect a huge bump if you’re just setting it live without much hustle.

Nice threaded look at Mickey’s level design process for the Sewer Exit, which is one of the tougher sections in the game!
🧵 Big Hops Sewer Exit Level Design Deep Dive Thread 🧵
Inspired by @radiatoryang.bsky.social's excellent Big Hops level design blog post and encouraged by Chris @luckshotgames.com, here's a thread where I dove back through the commits to look at our iterations on a single level in Big Hops.

And last is... me! Hi, I'm looking for work. I was the animation lead for Wanderstop. I rigged every character, set the animation style, hired and set schedules, and did a huge amount of animation and anim code, FX work, and more. Enjoy my new demo reel and then email me at [email protected]!
