Hello, World!
Hi, my name is Dean Caldwell¹. I’ve been programming AAA games between 2019 and 2026. I’ve worked on titles like Marvel’s Midnight Suns and Mafia: The Old Country, and I’m somewhat good at game AI systems and design.
I don’t blog much about game development anymore, but I’ve preserved this blog for its useful information. You welcome to email me, and I still aim to respond to all reader mail.
