@LiamTart I ended up drawing a hard line of 6pm I'm done. And I got back into the physical hobbies I love (skating mostly). It occupies my mind and body so much during it I literally can't spin and think about work.

@chrisradsby I took a good few months off (all be it life chose for me) 2 years ago now. It was actually great for my relationship towards work and I found my love for old hobbies again.

Having worked for 13+ years I'm realizing I've never really had an extensive break. I wonder what 6 months off with nothing going on would feel like xD Knowing myself it's prolly just Hobby Project time xD

@vaccaro3d @DestinLegarie The Nvidia driver account drives me mad. It's always logged out when I need to update and I can never remember the password because I never look at it unless updating a driver...

@DestinLegarie Sea of Thieves requires a Microsoft account when played on PSN or when playing Minecraft on a MacBook. Super common in gaming. Hell I need an account for my Nvidia driver 😂

My feet and voice are well and truly cooked. #GDC2024 complete. It's been a terrible year for the games industry, but meeting and talking with everyone and seeing all the cool shit being made has once again ignited my spark and love for this industry.

I do a lot of destruction simulation and this had my head buzzing with the fact it could make being able to clean up the mess that fracture Sims cause much easier.

There is actually some great tools on display at #GDC2024 this year. @InstaLOD was a stand out for me. It's more than just a LOD tool and could be very useful for scan data Artists or anyone handling incredibly high poly meshes that need to make their way into games engines

@chrisradsby Factoring in the "oh.. yeah nah that didn't actually work out " time as well because you can't always get it perfect first time despite the best of planning. It's like science, you have a theory, you test it. Sometimes you prove your theory wrong 😅

We really need to start being more open with how long 3D Enviros for games take to make. Some have no clue! You have director level people pointing at portfolio pieces saying "make that", except "That" is 3-6 months work and not even game-ready nor playable. #gamedev #gameart

My last project at PlayStation Studios was on The Last of Us Part II Remastered, doing rig setup, character skinning, and cloth sim. If anyone needs a character technical director who's into character rigging and developing tools in Maya with Python, I'm looking.

After a decade, my time at PlayStation and London Studio appears to be at an end. I am grateful for the opportunities, experiences, and growth. I am thankful for all the fantastic, talented individuals I've worked with. It's been a dream come true. I am heartbroken. 💙

@jadel4w It's the most idiotic thing I've seen this industry do with Teams in the "AAA" Studios. "Wow thanks, your team was efficient, gold standard. Top marks. We are going to disband you now and scatter you all on to 50 different projects never to see each other again..."

As an addendum to how i feel about job hopping. and yessss I know its a companies responsibility to make a job worth staying at. I just genuinly believe good games are made by good teams with a history of collaboration.

In 2017 I won the Artstation challenge with this environment (made in Unity at the time). This piece also landed me my first job in AAA games. Here are 10 things I learned since I started working in AAA games in no particular order:
