Eternal love and gratitude and awe to my IGF presenters @teddydief.com @tmccue.bsky.social @mitukhandaker.com @kinucakes.bsky.social @awintory.bsky.social @fieldofreeds.bsky.social @selmaleh.bsky.social @cissyspeaks.bsky.social +Andy Schatz! All star lineup!!!

On #GameMakersNotebook, @awintory.bsky.social chats with ARC Raiders Audio Director Bence Pajor about his early career in music and transition to audio design, his work on Battlefield, the moral implications when designing realistic audio for combat simulations, music and player immersion, and more!

Team behind cult 2012 video game reunites on Grammy winner Art director Matt Nava and composer Austin Wintory reveal how their cult 2012 video game Journey shaped their latest offering, the Grammy Award-winning Sword of the Sea.

🗡️🌊 @mattnava.bsky.social and @awintory.bsky.social have a long career of collaboration, their two creative disciplines intertwined. I remember distinctly how exciting it was when Journey was nominated for a Grammy, and now Sword of the Sea is the latest winner.

House of Hikmah coming this week <3

Years ago my lovely friend @FarisAttieh & I connected over grieving our departed fathers & he vowed to make a game exploring grief. He came through & we spent time together in Saudi Arabia recording many musicians , exploring. A real honor to be involved in this passion project

My first (last?) time playing accordion in an awards show :)

That means a lot to read though I'm so sorry to hear it's been a tough period

I wrote in more detail on Instagram BUT just have to share a few selects from this past GDC concert, easily among the greatest experiences of my life. Thank you to all who helped and all who attended!! My favorite way to celebrate the art form ❤️

This makes me happy. One of the most charming games I ever got to work on. Always so happy when it finds new audiences!

Thank you for an incredible #GDC2026 Developer’s Concert @awintory.bsky.social! 🎶

I shared some thoughts on the GRAMMYs. It won't let me post the full video here so below are the links to it on my IG page and on YT.

Thank you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you all for the many kind messages & generosity! It's a bit overwhelming! So very grateful. I was on a plane for the whole thing, en route home after a wonderful concert performing superb game music by my friends/colleagues in collaboration with the @baftagames.bsky.social. Which was a BLAST!

If you liked Sword of the Sea, you’ll love The Pathless.
