I had such a great time at GDC again this year! I got to meet several people in person for the first time, made new friends, and reconnect with old friends. But as always the CAs are what make it so incredible! You'd be hard pressed to find a better group of people in the world!

I have been working with a friend of mine on her stage production of Pirates & Clerics & Rangers, oh my! I handled the SFX, mixing, and mastering and I must say it was a good time! And it's such a fun show!

Just finished #southofmidnight and it was so good! But as much as I enjoyed the story, art, voice acting and everything else the thing that stood out the most was the music! So so good! Thank you Olivier Deriviere! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Very nice work from everyone @compulsiongames.bsky.social
