This past Friday marked my last day as a full-time engineer at @digitaleclipse.bsky.social. I've decided to reprioritize, but the past five years have been the most illuminating of my career, and I'll miss that incredible team. Feeling nostalgic, so here's a quick look back to toast the occasion. 🧵

After Amico didn't work out, Digital Eclipse offered Dave and me spots on staff. We jumped on Blizzard Arcade Collection and I helped with the sexiest possible feature, localization. We injected support for 13 languages and it looked native! I got to watch the real wizards in the company cast magic.

We were given an interesting challenge with Space Jam A New Legacy: The Game -- select two contest submissions and merge them into a single game. I think our tiny team banged out a pretty decent little brawler (still free on Xbox!), all things considered. And hey, I got to code Bugs Bunny!

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration was a big one. A crazy amount of passion and expertise went into this, company wide. I built the main menu and timeline UI, which ended up establishing a template we'd use going forward. The game scored 9/10 from IGN and received numerous awards.
