Ryan is talented as hell and working with him on The Den was a real pleasure. He's fast, he's got technical expertise, a great eye, and above all else, he's a great person. Y'all better scoop him up quick.
Laid off from BitReactor today, a couple months after shipping Star Wars: Zero Company. Had a blast texturing The Den's exterior. Looking for my next Environment / Material Artist role. 6 yrs AAA, UE5, Substance. Remote, hybrid or relocating. #gamedev artstation.com/ryan_lopez

"Here’s what I want — I want more Street Fighter," said Noah Centineo on the prospect of a Mortal Kombat or Marvel crossover. “If you bring an opportunity to us to be able to come back and reup these incredible characters, I’m down, and I know we’re all down." bit.ly/4dHaOii

Made a Mortal Kombat Quiz for the community to test their knowledge with. 5 Categories, 10 questions in each. Would love to see how people do, and I totally encourage any creator to show their experience trying it out. Video below. HOW NERDY ARE YA????

Wow! This is exciting news! 👊 Kan't wait to see what you all make! 👊
【A Quick Update】 I’ve joined VS STUDIO as the next step in my journey. Working on games again with two of my former bosses feels nostalgic in many ways, while at the same time, the excitement of creating something completely new makes every day incredibly fulfilling. I’m really looking forward to seeing what we can create together! ⸻ 【近況報告】 新たな挑戦の場として、VS STUDIOに加わりました。 かつての上司2人と再び一緒にゲーム開発に取り組む毎日は、どこか懐かしく、それと同時に新しいゲームを生み出していく刺激にも溢れていて、とても充実しています! これからここで何を生み出していけるのか、私自身も楽しみです!
