Hey folks, this is a reminder that I'm currently looking for work! I'm an experienced producer with 8 years in games, worked on major franchises like God of War and Gears of War (yes), in Unreal and Unity houses, and across technical and creative disciplines. Please feel free to reach out!

A cartoonish illustration of a bunch of people at a table. Girls, boys, men, and women. On the table, in front of each person, is a version of Link. The people are tailoring Link to their vision of him. One is gruff and scarred, one is bishi and femme, one looks rather dull, one looks very standard. There's a guy in a suit standing behind everyone that looks very excited and is saying something in Japanese about "everyone's thoughts!"
I'm back to scanning old #zelda publications. I'm doing the 2400dpi scans of the 1986 Kadokawa strategy guide archive.org/details/guid... right now
This is art from a page talking about how you make a game character fit the role you invision. No wonder I picked Zora (Zola) from this guide, lol
Here to say that we wouldn't exist without arts funding.
Not only would 1000xRESIST not exist without arts funding, we as artists who practiced for YEARS, trying to understand ourselves and our mediums would not exist without arts funding.
Fund the arts! All of them. Including games.
Expedition 33 was made thanks to a small internal team and a BIG team of outsourced devs. Most big games, and many small games, are made this way!
If you don’t know a ton about outsourcing in game dev, People Make Games has done a phenomenal job covering it

Hey folks, it is still pretty rough out there in the job market, so if you see or hear about any senior roles in production, please let me know! www.linkedin.com/in/shaynamoon
Happy Valentine's Day!💘 (Or Night...?) Zagreus is handy with that heart-seeking bow on this occasion, while Melinoë's still learning the ropes.
May Aphrodite herself help you take your best shot today, or just have a lovely time!💘
You were an absolute talent to work with Shayna, I know any team will be grateful to have you. Wishing you the best
Anyway I’m seeking Senior Producer roles in games and am willing/eager to relocate outside of the US.
MCR this. American Idiot that. Meanwhile, ALL YALL MOTHERFUCKERS ARE VERY *VERY* WRONG.
every milestone i have ever been a part of on any video game team ever:
we wouldn't need "fast travel" if our game studios invested in accessible and affordable public transport infrastructure. skyrim should have a tram network. assassin's creed should have several regular bus routes. give ghost of tsushima a metro
I love test levels/rules levels/guide levels - especially when you leave some cruft in the corner of things you don't talk about anymore...
men, listen the fuck up.
one of the most loving things you can do for your partners and families is take care of yourself. Make that doctor's appointment you've been putting off NOW. Start therapy NOW. Get your shit sorted out.
I'm Devon, and I'm looking for my next opportunity!
Let me bring 7 years of Test/QA and leadership experience to your studio. I've worked on everything from indie titles to AAA, including live service!

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.
I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.
Got mine in!

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.
Good things come to those who wait - the Video Game History Foundation Digital Library launches on January 30th, 2025. (We'll tell you all about it then!)
It’s been such an honor to write for this kind of game. I never thought my career would bring me here. I’m so excited to introduce the world to South of Midnight in full. It means a lot to me.

We need to have this conversation about games ASAP. If you're a trans dev let's work together to preserve your work. Cis devs, we need to get our asses in gear to support this.

This essay is incredibly applicable to games as well. As AAA concentrates more and more on juggernauts like Fortnite, Call of Duty; while the industry fragments into thousands of smaller projects, discoverability on the various platforms and in media will only get messier.
Good morning. You are still here. Do something kind for someone you love today--and if you can, for someone else in your community, even if they're a stranger. We're in this together. ❤️
