Promotional artwork for the VR game Hotel Infinity, featuring a logo that identifies it as a finalist for the 29th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards. The game title, "HOTEL Infinity," is displayed in large, bold red serif font across the center. A thin white horizontal line separates the two words. The background depicts a low-angle, perspective-heavy view of a dense, stylized architectural environment. The buildings are light gray or white with many dark rectangular windows, reminiscent of a classic grand hotel's exterior. A single window at the top right is brightly lit with a warm orange glow, contrasting with the otherwise cool and dark exterior.
This image displays five nominees for the "Immersive Reality Technical Achievement" DICE Award, organized in a table with promotional artwork for each project. Below the art, it lists the game titles, developing studios, and key team members for each entry. The games are: Ghost Town, Hotel Infinity, Marvel's Deadpool VR, Star Wars: Beyond Victory - A Mixed Reality Playset, and Unloop.

Hear Say is one of the few digital games that evokes the same manic, giddy energy you tap into when you’re doing improv exercises. whoever directed this one did an incredible job 👀
new folk horror vibes that are still so distinctly Pacific Drive — Ironwood i love you
if you’re trying to unionize and start to feel your momentum fading, take a beat to imagine what Bryce Harper would say in your position. it will reinvigorate you immediately
so well said, & we need to resist the cultural norm that urges juniors to be endlessly deferential and accommodating. you deserve to be listened to & respected as much as anyone. in the immortal words of the seattle garages (blaseball): "no one you look up to is better than you are"
they should invent an industry that isn't actively collapsing
HE DID IT 🚨
🚨EARNEST MARINER ENJOYMENT KLAXON🚨
Raleigh just barely scraping by the first round of the hr derby and then hitting more than two of his competitors combined in the second round is such a Mariner move. i won't talk about what the subsequent Mariner move would be however
i am always saying this 🙂↕️

hey i'm jess & i'm doing #portfolioday since some games i've been working on were recently announced!
i'm a professor and narrative designer -- currently working with Red Thread Games on Hello Sunshine, and i've worked on other projects for them, Studio Chyr, Six to Start, Carnegie Hall, & more
Dustborn is now available for macOS! It runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs — but the more modern, the better, of course. The game plays beautifully on my Mac Studio M1 Max. apps.apple.com/no/app/dustb...

an image of the character Lyn from the Fire Emblem franchise — beneath her is a text box containing the words “I do not love my country. I love the people in it and want their needs met.”
i sometimes see this going around on july 4th which always feels strange to me bc Lyn Fireemblem would not say that. she would probably say something more based. pretty sure she didn’t even believe in borders
we need to unionize so bad
well now i prefer it as an onomatopoeia!!
