Unemployed-ish


Well, I can't sleep so I'm drinking beer and writing a blog post. This is something I plan to do pretty regularly now since I'm more-or-less unemployed.  Well, I mean I quit my full time job of 15 years at Blue Sky Studios so I can make video games.  But I did join a VR startup so I'm not just picking my nose all day...

What have I been up to though? Here's something recent... I woke up one morning and decided to try and replicate the old vector displays via a script and shader in Unity. This is what resulted. I was able to convert a mesh to a lineRenderers and apply a cool shader to the lines. Add a little bloom and it kinda feels right...


On the music front, Jamie and Eric happened to be in town a few weeks ago so we managed to squeeze in one jam session at Astoria Soundworks. I will be posting those mixes sometime real soon...
