Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. May 16, 2016. This is an addendum to my last post about randomness and fairness. As I was implementing a randomizer in the spirit of the random threshold model discussed before, a nice simplification occurred to me. I knew the probabilities. In my use case would be small, between 5% and 30%, and long streaks of bad luck can feel like a bug to the user. Therefore I wanted a tight upper bound for a streak of bad luck, so I chose c. July 27, 2015. And it c...

Skip to primary content. July 27, 2015. Let’s say you are creating a computer game where the player explores a dungeon and every time he finds a new treasure chest there is a 10% chance it contains a rare item.

Skip to primary content. October 13, 2014. I am very lucky to be working for Unknown Worlds Entertainment. On their upcoming underwater exploration game Subnautica. Lucky because of many reasons. For starters Subnautica is an exceptional game. Like traditional high quality games it features gorgeous graphics and a masterfully crafted world. Unlike traditional games it does not involve shooting things and killing stuff though. It is very peaceful. I am excited about that! Coined the term naked development.
