Happy #Blocktober! Will be posting some gameplay and systems design from #GodOfWarRagnarok here! I got the amazing chance to work on so many little narrative moments across the game in #GodOfWarRagnarok. Lets look at the Train Align minigame moment today! James , while working on the level wanted to... invoke the feeling of someone spotting you when parallel parking (lol) and so we did! We had to make sure the player always had the choice to agree/disagree with Atreus’ directions, while still maintaining a max time for the minigame. This led us to design it so the train actually started and ended in the same location 😉 in order to guarantee the number of moves the player could do (hence the camera angle). While this limited the steps, we still had to have unique game states for each time you visited those alignment locations. Can’t end this post without calling out the months and months of back and forth and amazing animation and tech help from Avery Adams to accomplish so many interdependent syncs!show more

A big big thank you to every single person that contributed to these GPMs over the entire development cycle! Wouldn’t be able to do any of this if it wasn’t for my awesome TD team, Eric Williams, My Lead Nick Eberle and Special shout out to @DaNightTrain for helping figure out so many problems and making our lives super easy. It takes a huge effort from so many people to bring these features to life, so thank you everyone at @sonySantaMonica and I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn and collaborate together.

Here is a graph of the game states we ended up that maps when you listen to Atreus' directions in green and when you dont in red!

@DaNightTrain And people wonder why game development takes awhile Such a seemingly simple thing but it had months of planning and testing and design to accommodate everything a player is able to do

Happy #Blocktober! Wanted to close the month out with my fav moment from Jotunheim! I got the amazing chance to work on so many little narrative moments across the game in #GodOfWarRagnarok. Lets look at the Firefly moment today! This moment was really close to our hearts on development so I wanted to make sure we get this one out for everyone that worked on it. chloe lister Justin Stanton and Kevin Huynh did a lot of the heavy lifting here, I was proud to be part of the awesome team to realize the firefly moment There could never be enough fireflies!

Happy #Blocktober folks! I got the amazing chance to work on water level mechanics in Svartalfheim in #GodOfWarRagnarok. Lets look at the Water Sluices! While we could have supported larger, baked sluice setups, we opted for a modular approach for each sluice piece that activated the water mechanics at runtime (shown below). This meant that the entire system’s feature set needed to be supported within the 3m piece! Even though Maintaining visual fidelity while making sure the pieces communicate effectively was a big challenge, This decision allowed quick iteration for our level design team who was allowed to move and tune sluice setups in real-time. Have to callout Jon Hickenbottom taking this head on and making and informing so many setups that fully realize the potential in the most fun development experience I have had

Huge thanks to stax and the NF Team for featuring me on the Nightmare Funkin' Funkcon 2 Trailer! I was in charge of the whole editing but even then I wanted to focus on the VFXs for the Intro Cutscene. 🌌 We all had to crush so much to get this out on time, so some details slipped around, but We're still super proud of the end result !! 🥳 Had to work my way around the fades and more stuff that We didn't had the time to change like the BGs for it, but I'm still really happy and specially proud of MrCup amazing animation skills! You did awesome buddy. 🎖️ Here's a little comparative, enjoy!! ☃️ ( btw, if you guys would like a tutorial on how I do all of this things, let me know bellow 😉) Mod Download:

MOMENTS OF LIFE FREEN BECKY #ChairstoSharexFreenBecky 🌷: So that day, we planned to go to the Eiffel Tower, but I had a dinner meeting with the CEO of the brand, and the time kept getting pushed back. I had to leave the next day, but we wanted to do something together. So, I asked Becky to come take pictures, and we didn’t know when lights would be turned on, but when we got there, the lights turned on just in time. It felt like a magical moment for Freen and Becky.

Arteta on the moment he believed it was going to happen: “It's been so many, probably I need a bit more time to reflect on that, and we have so many, so much footage that probably will explain the story of the season. “One of the main ones, it was a meeting that we had here next to the tree when I got all the players together and I told them, look at each other, look at the squad that we built over the summer. I think we are capable of everything and we can be very, very good. “That only depends on us and on our behaviours and everybody understanding the role that it's going to have daily or on the day. to give the best for the team. Once they realised that, I think we went to a different level, because you've seen the impact that everybody's had in different moments of games, through the season, and the capacity that we have shown to adapt to very, very tough circumstances throughout the season.”

The Giants had a chance to put the game away in the 9th and failed to do so. Brutal loss after scoring 2 runs to tie it in the 9th Also, another game and another player getting hit in the hand. Schmitt wasn’t able to finish the game because of it. At some point this shit has to end or a player will be charging the mound

Jungkook speaks so beautifully in this segment 🐰: 'ari' basically means "loving" or "missing someone" and 'rang' means you, so it means the one we miss and long for. 🐰: Both our fans and us really miss each other so much. Army is still incredibly important to us. The kind of music we want to do has become more diverse in colors and we have tried alot of new things but at the end of the day we still missed and longed for them we really wanted to capture those feelings in this album.

Had a great call this morning with the team developing out Route 47 the game. We've decided to start doing more BTS as we develop out the game and I wanted to showcase some of the work including how we're looking at combining and blending splats, object building, and beginning to workout gameplay. We will be continuing to build this out and are aiming for an early access launch in the next few months.

Mikel Arteta apologises to the Arsenal fans today: “I apologise, take it in the chin and that's it. What I'm trying to do is give our best to the club. Give the best possible chance to our players and I know the atmosphere, the fans, the support, the energy in the stadium is the best in the world. “We have a much better chance. I don't think that there is any other possibility. To perform better than when you have that kind of support, but then we had to respond, and we had moments in the first half where we did it and there were other moments that we weren’t on our level. So then we have to apologise to them and improve for sure.”

After starting the year with 2 top 10s to qualify for the Arnold Palmer and The Players, Joel Dahmen missed both those cuts and had to get an Uber to Monday Qualifying for the Valspar. He missed at qualifying, but got in the field anyway as an alternate and now has shot rounds of 72 and 70 to make the cut. After the round, he spoke about how grounding life on the PGA Tour can sometimes be: “Look, life on the PGA Tour is amazing. Wouldn't trade it for anything but also people probably don't see behind the scenes as much and so I got the family on the road, which is great, but it also can be difficult when you drive across the state on Sunday, get into a new place, you have to unpack, get them all ready, got to get groceries in the house, all those little things, thankfully my wife does most of that. “But then I had a 9:30 tee time and it was about an hour away and we didn't have another car. So I didn't have time to grab another one. So it was just Uber was the best option and yeah, so it's a lot different from, you know, the steak and wine and The Players clubhouse and an amazing week to driving to Brooksville to Monday. “And I hadn't had to do that in a while, thankfully, but the game humbles you quickly but also can recenter you and ground you and, yeah, I mean I didn't play well there on Monday either, but you knew I had a good chance of getting in the field and so it was nice little reset to hit some striped range balls on not a perfect golf course and realize how lucky we are to be out here on tour.” He’s currently 65th on the FedEx Cup Standings and will be hoping to go low this weekend and improve on that.

One of the quotes of the year from Josh Jacobs, as he and the Packers prepare for the NFL playoffs this weekend: "You kind of get numb to the feeling of this opportunity... I reiterated to the guys, these are the moments we dreamed of our whole lives since we were little kids." Josh added, "The reason why we worked as hard as we did, sacrifice to be in these situations, to have a chance to play in the Super Bowl, and a lot of people don't even get to do it in their career. So, we know this opportunity is unique and we don't take it for granted."

juyeon's ending ment - the b land day 3 🐱 i had such a fun and wonderful time again today. did you all feel the same way? (👥 yes~) i really laughed a lot today, and i feel like i gave and received lots of love. i wanted to say thank you to you all. 🐱 also, since we moved (to a new company), we didn't actually have many schedules. for the first time, we had some time to slow down and take a break at the end of the year. i had a lot of thoughts during that time. it became an opportunity for me to think about how much i love this work and how much i want to meet the fans. 🐱 so it was a time of reflection and growth for me. and now, using this concert as an opportunity, i will really work hard and run coolly this year. you'll be with us, right? (👥 yes~) okay... i will be looking forward to it. thank you so much for coming today. a very happy new year and fighting to all of us! let's go~! 👍 #JUYEON #주연 #더보이즈

Aaron Glenn on the Jets' discipline and penalties: "Last year, we led the league in false start and illegal formation penalties. We had one of those penalties yesterday. The plan is actually working the way that we want it to work. We have to continue to nip all of those things in the bud. For the past two years, we led the league in penalties. So when you go out and you don't have one false start penalty...our guys have been doing a hell of a job at trying to fix that. We're going to continue to do that. Now, we have to get ready to focus on some of these discipline penalties that we have had. We have to make sure that we can't allow those things to happen - they'll force you to lose games."

for the first time, we had so many videos, so many meetings in pre-season and the way how it showed us what happened last season and it showed us some details compared to the Arsenal, Man City and why we didn’t win the league and what we’ve to do to win the league and if we do that, we’ll win the league for sure and i was just like ‘It’s True’.”

Thankful for so many people in my time at ESPN that helped me grow because they are some of the best in the business. From the broadcast booth to the studio and ESPECIALLY the people many of you never see behind the camera. They are the REAL MVPs and sacrifice so much time with their families just to ensure people like myself in front of the camera even have the opportunity to shine. There were so many awesome experiences and moments that my family and I will never forget from the last 3 years. What people sometimes fail to realize is none of this is possible without you guys, the FANS. So THANK YOU to everyone who has supported my family through my playing days and broadcast career so far. We love you guys and will continue to seek and defend the truth while telling athletes’ stories the right way. 🤙🏾

Me and my mates caused this: We turned up at their wedding uninvited and started fighting with the guests and they had the cheek to tell us to leave because we were ruining their wedding when it was only a few of us and not everyone. Then they tried to lock the doors. But we held them open while more came in. We didn’t like the music either so we made the DJ to swerve the Motown and play some techno to suit us. It was an all inclusive bar and a free buffet so we stayed to the end even though we didn’t like it there. I just wanted to call the family out and tell you all how intolerant they were to us. I’ve never been made to feel so unwelcome. We had just as much of a right to be there as anyone else. It was a public building. They don’t own it. I’m sure you will all agree that the family were bang out of order. We only ruined their wedding the crying cnts. Horrible people.
