When I started at Bungie, one of the first things I made was the item sunsetting UI. You know it. You probably have.. feelings about it 😅
Now, over four years later, I've had the opportunity to not only destroy it, but press the big button to un-sunset the items themselves! 💖
The cat's out of the bag!
My team and I have been working on the new Prismatic Subclasses and I can't wait for you to be able to get your hands on them 💖
There's still even more in store, so please look forward to it~ ✨✨
Buildcrafting is evolving when Lightfall launches on February 28.
💠 Loadouts and Mod Customization
💠 Artifact Mod Updates
💠 Mod Overhaul: No more Elemental Affinities
💠 New ways to slay Champions
💠 And much more:
Bringing the Prismatic subclass menu to life was one of my focuses for Final Shape, and it was a delight working with folks on vfx, cinematics, and audio again!!
The effects and lighting around your character look so cool. I recommend dressing up and hiding your menu 👀💖
just informed that the shader in our Bad Dragon bundle has a bone/stone look to it? this hottie is going next to my other favorite shader
(Dreaming Spectrum, which I still love cause it's iridescent BUT this is a good alternative)
(also IT'S GIVING LOL PORCELAIN SKINLINE? 😍)
I've only ever worked at Bungie, so here we go:
2020: $65k -> $73k -> $88k
2021: Promoted to Junior Designer! $97k
2022: $118k -> $120k
That's all for now~ I'm grateful for the amount of growth in those 2 years, esp cause I graduated college Fall 2020

Some people wanna spread positive vibes and distract each other with nice things at work, but I don't think I'm ready to be positive.
I don't judge anyone for doing what is healthy for them... but I'd rather be mad as fuck right now and not distract myself from the injustice.
I realized my last tweet sounded ominous. I'm fine. At least, I think so?
My heart goes out to everyone who's been let go, and I hope they all find a better home soon. I just.... What the fuck......
Hi, I'm Ash
I worked on the UI of multiple Destiny 2 features such as transmog, mod customization, weapon crafting, and loadouts.
I updated my portfolio website yesterday 👀 So like, check it out if you're interested. I'm open to feedback and questions.
Yay! I'm glad the HUD buff/debuff rework has been officially announced. Another feature my team worked on! 🔼🔽
Now you'll have no excuse to say you didn't see the imminent detain 🥹

day! ✨🐲
please vault and unvault some of your items from orbit for me 💖
(and look forward to more news about the vault!!!)
I still feel sad and angry this week.
This morning I saw a notification for a 1:1 meeting with one of my favorite teammates, who was let go last week, and deleting it permanently off of my calendar did not feel good.
I'm so excited we've finally announced fireteam power!
My team and I have been working on it for a while, and it's something I've always personally wanted as an on-and-off player of D2 💖
Read all about it in today's TWID! 😤😤
You have Prismatic questions, and hopefully this article contains answers!!
(So no, I'm not randomly ignoring your questions in my last tweet. I'd just rather info come directly from our official channels instead of saying an oopsie and losing my job 😭😭)
Wield the powers of Light and Darkness simultaneously to unlock combinations of abilities never before possible.
Learn more from our dev team about everything contained within the Prismatic subclass.
📰
Hope y'all enjoyed the
#Destiny2Showcase
today 👀!!
My team has been hard at work on Mod Manager and Loadouts and I'm glad we don't have to keep it under wraps anymore. Definitely QoL features I have wanted for a long time and a big step towards better buildcrafting 💖
I've been so busy lately with moving to my new place.. but the 21st last month marked my 4th year at Bungie! 😄
The best is yet to come, and I look forward to y'all seeing what we got cookin for the Final Shape. Really proud of the work my team and I have done on it 💖
Howdy! 💖

Oh hey, passed my 3 year mark at Bungie this last weekend!
Always grateful for the trust that I have in my team and they have in me. Grateful that I've had the opportunity to do so much cool stuff for Destiny players. Looking forward to so much more in the future 🤗💖💖

Can't wait for y'all to get your hands on transmog! This feels like the biggest feature I've had the honor of contributing to, and my team and I worked hard for the past few months to bring the UI to life. Cheers!

Friends pls help! don't remember who originally tweeted it, but I remember seeing a chart that compared "what gamers think is difficult to make" vs "what devs know is difficult to make" and it was real fucking funny
Had shit like "a character passes an item to another" & "doors"
i've been working on my personal project on the side, and lately it's been healing me even more than usual.
so here's a lil somethin somethin. i'm still learning godot and blender, but after using them for a month, i've gotten a lot better.

i know most people mean big pecs when they say this, but chubby dudes deserve 100x more too. there's so little love for big handsome men with soft cuddly parts
Goin to urgent care..
currently experiencing the worst vertigo I've ever had, and this is coming from someone who gets pretty severe motion sickness
Literally can't move my head without feeling dizzy and ready to puke, and can't walk without tripping.
Send me good vibes pls 🥲

Someone help me go through my vault please. ...
I don't have the patience to look through all of these rolls and I know that 75% of my vault should just be dismantled
I'm at my limit and debating just nuking almost everything 🥲
Are you team Shadow Wizard Money Gang or team Glimmering Wizard Hype Squad?
Voting is almost over to decide this year's Festival of the Lost armor sets!

some mutuals on here... i have/had no idea what y'all looked like cause you don't have a photo of yourself as your pfp.
and then you post a random selfie and i'm like omg?? you're so hot?? 😳

QRT with four projects you've worked on 💖
I've only really worked on
@DestinyTheGame
, so the best I can do for you are my four favorite Destiny features I've worked on.
Weapon Crafting / Transmog / Loadouts / Mod Customization
(Exotic/Abandoned Quests Kiosk is a runner up)
thanks everyone for the love! obviously couldn't have done this without my lovely team.
i'm not at the liberty to reply to questions and suggestions (lest greater powers beat my ass 😱), but i appreciate y'all! 💖
our official channels are a better place for you to ask stuff 💃
Another update to my game!! I added some pillows, particles, bookshelves a fireplace, and learned how to make some plants!
Is it cozy? ☕😌
#Godot
#Blender
Y'all.... sorry I haven't posted many updates about the game lately but we're deep in the design and prototyping trenches rn.
Landed on some really nice meta progression stuff today so we'll see how those pan out 🥹
thank you for the magical Bungie number 🥺🥺😭🥹
i appreciate you all
Stick with me for shitty memes, food porn, retweeting cute boys, and idk destiny stuff sometimes maybe? Chaos on main is what I live for
Reworking the build tools & I think it's really coming together!!
It may not look much, but that's cause we're going through and porting all models to a new system that lets us do stuff much faster 😄
ps: I'll be looking for build playtesters soon, if you're interested lmk👀
💙Insomniac✊
The fuckers who are behind this hacking bullshit deserve to be annihilated. I would be thrilled to see them be punished >= how much they negatively affected good, hard working people.
i'm traveling for the next few days, so i won't have any updates for the game in the meanwhile... BUT LOOK AT THESE BUILD MODE TOOLS I'M WORKING ON!

hey game dev friends!! Has anyone ever dealt with relocation packages when moving from one studio to another??
asking for a friend who's getting their first big job woooooo!!!!! so if you have any insight/experience with relocating... 👀👀
i took wed-fri off this week just to relax and unwind..
and you know what that means! adding a new game mode to the game i've been teasing!
I can't wait to show y'all soon. we're so excited about this new pivot👀
I'm considering doing some "make a game with me!" Type streams on twitch in the future, where I make furniture, decorations, wallpapers, etc and I take requests from chat!
Would people be into that? 🧐

Today marks one year since I started at
@Bungie
! Despite the pandemic and political climate, this last year has been a blessing. Every day, surrounded by talented, kind people and the opportunity to make cool shit for millions of
@DestinyTheGame
players. Y'all are my inspiration.
i'm SO happy with the amount of learning and growth and just.. confidence i've gained with Blender in the past couple months
(bc wtf is that first attempt at an oven/stove on the left? like the new one is better in every way even in terms of polycount...)
In 2023 I'm gonna stop becoming infatuated with people who don't give a fuck about me
The optimistic, romantic little daydreamer inside of me makes this really fucking hard, so I'm currently holding them at gunpoint 🔫🫠
