On May 6th, the darkest part of my life occurred when I was diagnosed with cancer. Yesterday, a beacon of light shown through the darkness as I married the love of my life @RizaannP. ❤️ I am so grateful to start & share this journey with her by my side.

Dang. I tried, y’all. Could’ve been, should’ve been, but it wasn’t.

I know it’s only background maintenance and nothing is coming from it but damnit, I still choose to believe anyways.

Woke up and the car won’t start. Dang battery died. Well damn. It’s alright though, things happen. Thinking of it a a blessing in disguise.

Been working like a mad-man on my game tonight. Just laid the foundations for 66 @Steam achievements just for playing through the game, including 1 secret achievement players have to discover.

Got 6 level tilesets whiteboxed for initial design. Once all 54 are finally set, we do the arduous part of getting the levels polished with collectibles, enemies, and 2D foliage. Game is slowly but surely taking shape!

Cancer destroyed my hair. It’s the most self-conscious thing of my life. Please let this be true and available soon.

Working on a home-based Perforce P4 version control setup so I can develop anywhere, anytime. Going to lay the groundwork for the many other games I have in the pipeline.

A Bungie studio operating Marathon, Destiny, and now a potential Star Wars Battlefront IP would be insane; The studio that defined the shooter genre over the last generation. Goes to show that Bungie still remains a powerhouse name in the industry and I'm so excited to see where everything goes. I've said it before: I'm confident Bungie's best days are still ahead of it.

Been on heavy ibuprofen and muscle relaxers for this ribcage injury. Still can't remember the last time I was able to take a full breath. Sucks. Take care of your bodies, y'all - even when playing hockey.

Been following this rumor with extreme curiosity. 🔹Battlefront 3 was reportedly 'almost completely finished' a long while back with Free Radical, so it's possible the game's near-completion status would remain during transition to whoever secures rights. 🔹Not sure what engine SWB3 was built on, whether Frostbite or otherwise, while Bungie uses upgraded versions of its own Tiger Engine. DICE already using Frostbite could give them a higher consideration due to environment ease if SWB3 was already developed with it. 🔹Bungie being chosen would be a massive opportunity for IP expansions. An established IP like SWB would open opportunities for future titles focused on Bungie's iconic narrative designs and looter-shooter genre possibilities which may be likely early talking points. 🔹DICE has a bit more leverage to the SWB franchise with prior connections to SWB launches, a larger developer count, and familiarity to large-scale multiplayer and action-adventure. If I had to make an estimated guess, DICE may be the one selected first simply on studio footprint and prior experience with the franchise, but Bungie could also come in hot if DICE is caught up with other development commitments. If so, Bungie would be able to work more closely with LucasArts just like they did with Renegades to develop content. Renegades also did an incredible job of showing Bungie's ability to create a shared world and could hold a ton of weight. If rumors become true and Bungie is selected, I believe in Bungie's ability to succeed.

Great article. The many amazing colleagues I've had at Bungie from recent past and present have said how everyone - from the earliest devs to senior leaders - all share how everyone works together side-by-side and they're not afraid to simply try, even when it fails from time to time. Everyone does their best to work on a shared vision forward and that kind of collaboration usually gets lost in the realms of traditional top-down leadership, but Bungie does their best to avoid it. It takes time, but I'm confident in Bungie's ability to adapt and overcome.

Woke up extremely motivated to work on my game. Literally just wanting to jump into Unreal Engine and keep creating. Good feeling.

Game dev update for my 2D platformer. Still targeting a December 2026 launch, but I may even go for January 1st 2027 if needed to polish a bit more.

Sorry y'all, still nursing this ribcage injury and lost motivation to get a stream out. Tried doing game dev and hit a wall on that too. Gonna try playing games offline and get back to it all tomorrow.

Seeing these makes me happy and I refuse to believe anything differently than “good things are coming” simply because I live on cope and hope.

Amazing take. Wonder what we could do to bring @RealmRoyale back.

A PC port of Destiny Rising feels like the most viable first step to re-engaging the PC playerbase and scratching the itch for many Destiny players. The game is still incredibly fun to log into and replayability is solid. Simplicity is key; having to launch an emulator to play a mobile version of the game with PC controls creates a pretty hefty barrier. Diablo Immortal’s PC port was wildly successful and serves as a great example how investing in a native PC version can be worth the time it takes to make it so.

Nursing a very uncomfortable hockey injury in my left ribcage. X-ray shows no broken bones but still sharp pains and can’t take super full breaths. Streams are up in the air but will do my best. Gonna try getting some more tilesetting done for my game as well.
