Yay XR Accessibility! So proud of our new Snap Turn feature.
It was developed when snap turn was exactly what I needed. I had surgery, resulting in frequent down time, and this feature allowed me to playtest from bed without needing to turn my body. Owning this project made it much more meaningful.

Check out some of my latest work!

In addition to the Snap Turn controls, I also implemented a new top-level accessibility menu! I look forward to helping this menu grow as we continue to make DDS more and more accessible!

I had the pleasure of speaking with @abletoplay.com about some of the exciting #accessibility work the team and I have done for our most recent games.

Thank you so much to @tessgrossman.bsky.social for taking the time to highlight our continuing efforts to make VR more accessible!

I'm excited to hear about this!

I speak from experience when I say that supporting screen readers/text-to-speech in games has been difficult in the past, so this is a welcome feature!

This is a wonderful look into the effort and care that goes into making our games accessible.

Jaz is a huge boon to our team! l'm proud of her and I'm proud of the work we've done and will continue to do!

Nice! I tried to do this for a game jam back in 2016, but I couldn't figure out the math in time and eventually just did some dumb collider shenanigans to get it kinda working enough for a demo ๐Ÿ˜…

Well, I was just hit with the unfortunate news that my time at Bethesda has come to an end. Iโ€™m endlessly grateful for the opportunity to work on such incredible titles with such talented individuals. โค๏ธ

With that being said, Iโ€™m on the lookout for new games opportunities in marketing / publishing!

I've watched this trailer a dozen times and I'm just still blown away at how much there is to this game! It has come so far from what Chris showed me early on and it looks so dang fun!

This is really shaping up to be something special!

I've backed it and I hope you will too!
