This week on the #GameMakersNotebook Podcast, @alexaray.bsky.social chats with @thewritegame.bsky.social about how the path to #gamedev has changed and the challenges with job placement, working with and helping juniors stay in the industry, the importance of institutionalized knowledge, and more!
Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.
Rewatching Lockwood & Co and I'll never forgive Netflix for canceling this show.
A new Grounded ๐๐ธ๐ฆ fhajdnfbdidj there goes all my time.
The new Mission Impossible is excellent. I'd love ten more of the underwater scenes bc how tf did they block that.
To add to Lis's excellent thread, be really careful of uni programs that sell you on a guarantee of getting a job in games or advise you to get SUPER specific out of the gate. So many students are graduating with degrees in games but feel like their aren't applicable or where they should be.
Someone drove into the crowd at the Lapu-Lapu Festival today. My friends and I are okay. I hope yours are too.

At the end when the little rain becomes relevant and important?? I cried.
They mentioned to me that they were going to demo the game and I was like wtf HOW. Amazed they got it there
I know this team! They're from the University of Utah, where I went to undergrad!
I'm really enjoying it too!
Why did no one tell me that Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a DRESS UP GAME with a WEDDING?! And a DOG!

My life lately
Oh I'm sorry Books. I hope you land somewhere soon!
Okay, my turn again!
Do you need a narrative designer or game writer? Lucky you, because I need a job! Iโve led narrative teams and worked on some of your favorite franchises! Based in LA and not looking to relocate, but happy to travel! Open to full time or contract!
Ohhh??????
Hooray!
All I want is more media where animals deliver mail
Oooooo!!!
Infinity Nikki is so cute! I started playing for a talk I'm putting together and I didn't know it's an open world fashion game + platformer + crafting + logic puzzles + "wonder in the world" cinematics, etc. Let me customize a house and all my cash is yours ๐๐
As always, the new Paddington movie is excellent โค๏ธ I love seeing what animation techniques they're showing off
Whaaat! Stop being so cool, Alexa.
I'm on episode 50. I do not remember this.
Hey! We are looking for one intern each for design, production and engineering! LA office for the duration of the placement. if youโre a dev and you have been mentoring someone in these areas please recommend them! job-boards.greenhouse.io/gravitywell
I was looking up the history of them and it all seems very odd. The movies almost feel like they're meant to be episodes.
Oooo!! Yes please!
That one seemed like two different movies mashed together.
