This past weekend, a couple of my friends and I made a game for #ludumdare #ldjam called Justin Time: Man of the Hour! I think we did a really good job with this one, please check it out! ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/…

I'm a little late in posting this, but I had the privilege of presenting a research poster at #SIGGRAPH2022 this year! This was my first time presenting my work to the public and getting feedback/questions from people who know way more than I do was an incredible experience.

I meant to do this as a thread, but the thread turned out to be really long, so maybe it's for the best... Here's a link to my thread about the poster! xitter.cf/MerrinJonathan/status/…

...to solve a problem I'm making for myself, and I have a hard time believing that would be performant enough to use. Nevertheless, I like the idea of making the underlying structure dynamic, and requirements implicit. It feels more flexible and compact, and I feel like...

On my way to #SIGGRAPH2022 to show off my research on dynamic LODs! This will be my first time at a research conference, and my first time presenting my own research, so please come to my poster to chat!

To everyone I met during #GDC2021: Hit me up if you ever want to talk for exactly an hour and then abruptly hang up! You know, for old time's sake.

Unpacking in a new apartment is like playing a sequel to a game where you need to re-unlock all the powers you already had.
