What am I up to right now?

2025 has been a year of big changes work-wise. After a long stride with Zynga working as a contractor on their Words With Friends line of products, which we have paused due to organizational changes, I’ve had to look into some other directions.

My main work now is split into development of Fortnite islands (which included learning a completely new language, Verse, and getting the hang of the Unreal Editor), and development of React Native Apps (coming back strong to the business-software industry, for a change!).

Besides that, I’m working in a secret project with a indiedev company from Spain.

It’s also exciting to think that, in spite of very limited time for indie/hobby gamedev, I have the prospect of working with 3 legendary gamedevs that I admire a lot; you’ll know more about this in the upcoming weeks, if it comes to be.

All in all, a very mysterious post. I’m busy, but happy.
