If you met me at #gdc last year, I probably gave you my business card.

I got creative with how I attempted to stand out from the hundreds of business cards passed out at big events.

I'm dropping the envelope for now, but I hope to do more hands-on projects like this for my career!

That's a wrap for #G4C Festival!

I'm really happy I came to volunteer.

Coming back to this building reminded me of the reasons why I started my Game Designer journey.

It was a pleasure meeting my new connections.

Until next time, Games for Change!

Yesterday I was tech lead for Waffle Games 8.0, a free games conference in NYC.

We had industry talks, game demos, and tournaments with @riotgames.com

Most importantly, I got my waffle 🧇 (we had only 1 waffle maker).

I haven't used Twine since college, but I've always wanted to come back and make a polished, text-based game.

Below is a snippet of another project I'm working. 👇🏼

I can't say much, but I'm happy to say I'll be doing a lot of economy and progression system design. 🙂‍↕️

I updated my portfolio's "Project Dreamscape" page at the top with the latest information + contributions.

I also added a new section at the bottom, "Quest Categories & Criteria System".

It's confirmed: "Project Dreamscape" is officially named "Dreamscape" 💫

You play as a fast-asleep dreamer who battles against their inner "dreamons" in a subconscious world.

We combine hack-and-slash combat with building mechanics to deliver a new kind of experience within the roguelike genre!

I updated my page for "Project Dreamscape" to share my latest contributions. Here's what I did:

✅ Removed the 'Play' button from the project card

✅ Replaced the header GIF with a steadier one

✅ Added a summary and 2 new sections that share my design processes
