I am lightly biased but I think he is the best dad in the world

Books Schwartz 📚 @sunshineduk.bsky.social · 11h

Took my dad to a Star War so he could finally fly the Millennium Falcon, which he’s been dreaming of since May 26th, 1977. He crashed the ship so hard that the ride broke. Very impressive. We also built a family lightsaber!

I am too goddamn stubborn to quit this industry but I sure would love to actually make something I can share with my friends

Oh hey this is me. Almost everything I’ve worked on in my career has been cancelled, most of it without even being announced. I have one shipped game from 2015 and two casual mobile games from 2021. And then a lot of amazing work no one will ever see. Love to be a cautionary tale!

It’s wild that half my career has been spent on projects that never shipped. They either got canceled or the studio shuttered. I don’t mourn them with the exception of one sci-fi project that was so stunning. Years of work down the drain. I did get a couple Chris Foss sketches out of it though.

like I am just too curious about the world. and I have too much on my to-do list. places to see! people to meet! books to read! creative projects to start and then abandon! why would I not want eternity to do all those things and the million more new things I’ll learn about to do in the future??

Oh man oh man just read the first issue of this and it RULES. Could not be more laser-targeted directly at me. Messy queer youths! Grand metafictional melodrama about the history of YA literature! Everyone's least favorite transphobic black mold! Cannot wait to see where it goes from here!

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!
