Hey all, just a quick heads-up, later today I’ll be releasing my second course! This one’s all about how to craft a showreel that game studios will actually love. I’ve spent years reviewing reels in the industry, and I wanted to put everything I’ve learned in one place for you. Stay tuned, I think you’re gonna like this one.

My next video is going live soon, and it’s all about Animation Audits, what they are, why they’re becoming a bigger deal in game dev, and how they can save studios a lot of headaches (and money).
This one’s part industry insight, part behind-the-scenes, and a little personal update on what’s next for me too.
Hit that notification bell so you don’t miss the premiere, see you in the chat!

This week's video is on a more serious note, talking about the state of the games industry at this point after all the layoffs by microsoft and where do we go from here. I truly think that this is a massive turning point which will be positive in the long run. Sometimes things need to get worst before they can be better.

Hey all, we are getting VERY close to the magical 100K subscribers, and I want to thank you all for the support. I am planning a massive giveaway to celebrate and working with a few brands to make it as big as possible. Stay tuned for more and I can't wait to pass that 100k mark. What a journey it has been. Stay tuned and tell a friend to tell a friend. :D

I haven’t done a product review in a while, but I wanted to share this one because it’s genuinely a great find. We picked up a standing desk that’s solid quality and really affordable, and honestly, it’s made a big difference to how we work day to day.
If you’re spending long hours at a desk (like most of us do), a standing desk can really help with focus, posture, and just feeling better overall.
