Embracing Change
summary
23 years in games spans AAA racers and social/mobile hits: builds include slipstream turbo (added measurable flow to Midnight Club), poker and mini‑games (horseshoes, Five Finger Filet) that ship in Red Dead, and a cancelled indie experiment Battlecore (match‑3 on a cylinder). Processes use Unity prototypes for camera and UX, platforms deliver tens of millions of daily users but carry risk (CityVille later shuts), and emerging stacks like 31.6 trillion ops neural engine push AI/AR opportunities now.
