We'll soon announce our forms for mentees! 🥳

Earlier this year I worked on an interactive visualizer for Create-It Studios with UE5 + Ableton Live! Unreal picks up MIDI from Ableton (via MaxForLive/OSC), making various assets react to notes in real time. It was shown at the opening event—and you can still try it out if you visit their space! 🥳

Our partners at @prgda.net - Puerto Rico Game Developers Association are officially announcing cafecitos and are looking for mentors!!! If interested please apply below ⬇️

I forgot to post the only picture of myself last weekend at Megaplex 2025. 🤠

Going back to last year, I'm thankful that I landed a role in education at that career fair, it's been great so far! While I'm not at GDC, a couple friends and peers are there, say hi to them for me at @prgda.net's Meetup this Thursday! #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Are you going to be around GDC this year? If so, are you looking to meet awesome Boricua devs? Come to our Puerto Rico Game Dev Meetup this March 20th in Fish & Farm (424 Clay St.) at 7:30 PM! Thanks to our friends at @latinxingaming.bsky.social for helping us make this a possibility! 🇵🇷✨

The PRGDA is conducting a State of the Industry survey within the Puerto Rican Community! If you're involved in games, tech, or adjacent industries, your input is invaluable. Once you've finished the survey, please do share it with others! ❤️🤍💙

Hello everyone! Our friends at @latinxingaming.bsky.social are hosting their first virtual jam site for the Global Game Jam! If you want to attend the GGJ this year, join this jam site! For those looking for a Puerto Rico Jam Site, we do not have one, we encourage you to join this jam site.

I guess my 2024 had a bit of everything - it was a weird yet hectic rollercoaster, but more than anything, it was a year of learning and exploration. I may have been off social media, but I'll highlight some of my moments and celebrate a few ones from my friends and peers! ❤️🧵

Does the PRGDA have a bluesky account? We do now! Follow us @prgda.net! 🥳

I should start using this platform more often, so here's a silly picture of me I guess. 🤓

In light of us Puerto Ricans getting trashed once again, I reshare this updated starter pack of Puerto Rican talent in game dev ✨️
