So incredibly excited to share this game with the world. 💙
Arkheron is a new team based pvp game where 15 teams of three fight to Ascend a mysterious tower. Your team will work together to collect items, combine their powerful abilities and create unique builds on the fly to be the last team standing.

Orange County is such an amazing place to live. It was beautiful to see so many people out today. Diversity is the whole point. ❌👑

Feeling the GDC fomo this week! Here are a few things I enjoy about that specific conference:

Incredible speakers. There is always something to learn

Roundtables. I love hearing how other companies are facing challenges

Parties. Just go! You’ll meet some great people.

Hot take on fantasy books… I don’t like it when they replace swear words with thematic ‘swears’. It makes me not take the scene seriously 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hopping on my work computer the night before break ends is like uncovering an ancient civilization that left behind clues.

What do these notes even mean?!

I want to talk about ✨Goals✨

I take goal setting very seriously. For the last few years I’ve set a few specific goals, wrote them down and then tracked them monthly. Here were my 2024 Goals:

• Improve my Physical Wellbeing
• Spend time in Nature

• Calm the Storm at Work

Optimist: The cup is half full

Pessimist: The cup is half empty

Producer: To reach a full cup by Q4, we’ll need to get the cup at least half full by Q1. The last 50% always takes longer.
Optimist: The cup is half full

Pessimist: The cup is half empty

Writer: The difference is why you hire me instead of using ChatGPT
Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Game Designer: that’s an awesome full cup you have there. Double-fill it by completing the next level in 45 seconds.

Enjoy looking at really great art with a special relationship with color? Check out my good friend Stephanie! She’s been inspiring me for decades 💙

This pigment started appearing in artist palettes in the 1950s, and was created to imitate indigo. It’s often used to paint the night sky.

I started this piece before the pandemic, and it’s been with me as a WIP through burnout, broken computers and depression. It compelled me though.
