A first for me: I wrote a song inside a dream! I was about to show it to some musical friends, started getting shy and stalling, then suddenly woke up. It was 3am so I jotted down the words with solfège, and tried to go back to sleep.

Can now confirm: the song is… very mediocre!

Tomorrow starts part 2 of parental leave, which goes through the end of the year! This will be my longest break from work since… well ever. The whole thing is exciting and strange!

When AI evangelists say “AI is just a tool”, it sounds a lot like “guns don’t kill people”. Sure they CAN be used for good… but that’s not why we’re complaining.

“What’s that girl doing?”
“I think she’s a mermaid!”
“Is she holding two worms?”

We just wrapped preproduction on our huge sequel project codenamed “Sunny”! These first few days of alpha have been intense! But the team is solid and we’re learning as we go :).

My mom visited Portugal for a wedding and brought back a “traditional dress” for Lenni. But I think it’s a Mirabel costume?

Just finished a great trip to NYC for the NYT games onsite gathering! Here are some photo highlights from the trip:

First: arriving to the office on a rainy Tuesday

First Amtrak ride in years and… I can’t express how much I am enjoying the quiet rainy daytime vibe. It is both relaxing and creatively energizing.

Playing tea party with Lenni:
“Here dada, have some tea!”
“Mmm this smells so good, is it jasmine green tea?”
“No it’s MULAN tea!”

Ordering eggs over easy/medium/hard implies you can also order eggs over peaceful to get raw yolk, and eggs over nightmare to get a burnt crisp.

We upgraded Len’s room ahead of new baby’s arrival! Toddler and cat approved 😻

I love this idea. We’re so numb to corporations trying to milk nostalgia for profit… that it’s refreshing to see an org try to understand WHY we loved something in the past.

If they can successfully recreate that atmosphere of peak MySpace / AIM days… I’m here for it.

Dear aspiring #gamedev in Gen Z,

Sometimes I see you taking rejection really hard… and I want you to know that it’s not you.

The game industry is seriously struggling, and the result is that it’s harder than ever to break in.

Love,
A millennial #gamedev who is rooting for you against all odds
