Dofus is an MMORPG by #Ankama which has shaped my childhood so I wanted to talk about its design features. #gamecrit Excuse the delay I was still training in my new role while working on an escape room project I will share soon, hope yall are doing great.

Shakes & Fidget is a browser rpg I used to spam as a teen and I always was amazed by its design #gamecrit #shakesandfidget

Hey twitter, I’m going to be posting my design critic diary entries on here weekly. They’re mostly a good exercise for me but if it can interest anybody I might as well post them :) They focus on design aspects in games and concepts I find interesting

@Junqerz @sonwooang Stunning

@FiendTechy Beast 🔥

210kg deadlift, I know my form is weird af

youtube.com/watch?v=9x7FGb… Wow this animation is absolutely amazing. Really beautiful work

@AshleyKang @lolesports An example of poor interpretation of minimalism. This is not an improvement and doesn’t reflect Riot’s “championship” skinline design nor the epic supernatural nature of the game. It’s just a plain copy of IRL sports’ trophy silhouettes. Bit of a shame :/

What are your thoughts on the new @lolesports Worlds trophy design? New Old

@stevemz You rock, thanks so much 🎉 Have a great rest of day :)

@jamesbouin the "beast" translation is why it was chosen

@stevemz Hey, this last line used to be on Udyr's wiki but now it's not there anymore. Did anything happen or was it just erroneous information? Thanks :)

@stevemz Ah that makes sense, thanks for responding. I’m making an article referencing all the champ names’ origins so I’ll keep your name off it. Would you happen to know why it was specifically chosen? (Other than the danish “beast” translation)

@jamesbouin it's mostly correct, but I requested they remove the reference for personal information privacy reasons its on all the translated versions though, so kind of impossible to get rid of

Been doing a @GDevelopApp GameJam (Theme Pets/Companions) with some fellow Abertay students, shout out @jamesbouin @CiaranUAD @EuanLawrence_ #gamejam 😋

@GamedevBrackhar Thanks so much!

@GamedevBrackhar Hello! I’m curious, why is Nidalee called Nidalee? I couldn’t find anything about the name’s etymology apart from some weird baby names site suggestion an african origin 😅

I’ve finally reached my personal goal of reaching master in league. I can get back to working on my game now 😂

@BrandonBeck Hi, I was just curious, is there any reason or origin behind your nickname "Ryze"?

Finally had my delayed graduation, it was heartwarming celebrating it with my family, old classmates and every other graduate. Also got to wear my kilt for the first time 🤗
