I believe I've grown greatly as a developer and dependable teammate. I hope that I can transfer my hard work and dedication to the work I pursue this summer and beyond. As a developer, I still need to figure out an adequate work-life balance. Of…
This week I worked to get everything stable and maintain quality of life. For instance, I helped Rosser get a leaderboard set up for speed run fun. I swapped the poses in the tutorial level with new ones, so there isn’t a discontinuity in Aapo’s…
This week, as we were hoping for, I made bug fixes and QOL changes. I changed some logic around for vines so that players would be less frustrated grappling from under them; fixed the camera being stuck with a tilted roll; fixed ground detection for…

We had a pretty extensive meeting on possible creatures. My favorite—mostly because, I suggested it—is what Jocelyn dubbed a "sneagle". That is, a snake with an eagle's head that may spit lightning. In terms of work outside of meetings, I managed to…
I hoped to do something productive with my break. But I didn't. Unless of course you consider playing through 7 games a symbol of productivity. Needless to say, I did not work on Stray over the month that I was in New York. Mostly due to the fact…
