Jew Of the Day<p>✡️ Today's Jew of the Day is Jordan Mechner!</p><p>Jordan Mechner is a video game developer and filmmaker. His best known work is Prince of Persia.</p><p>While attending university, Mechner spent two years writing and developing the game Karateka for the Apple II. Karateka was notable for being both a side scroller and fighting game. It featured fluid character motion and was a success.</p><p>Mechner's nexr game, Prince of Persia built on Karateka by making all the action of his character fluid, giving the game a cinematic quality. It also featured a complex storyline, and puzzles- all of which are staples of the action adventure genre today, but novel at the time.</p><p>Mechner has since worked to revive Prince as a series, and kept the franchise alive through comics and film adaptations.</p><p>He also published his game personal diary development journal of his time developing the game.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/JewOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JewOfTheDay</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/PrinceOfPersia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrinceOfPersia</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Karateka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Karateka</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/VideoGameDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGameDevelopment</span></a>. <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewdiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jewdiverse</span></a>.</p>

Izzy<p>Anyone hiring? My name is Izzy! I'm a trans woman who was raised with good midwestern values. Integrity, hardwork, compassion and kindness. I have over three years of experience in QA. Experience using Jira, DevTrack/Devtest Perforce and repository GitHub. I'm still a novice but I do have experience in Unreal Engine 4 and 5. I've shipped several AAA titles and one unannounced indie game still in development. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!</p><p>(Boosting is appreciated!
