everyone who's been laid off in the last 3 years and just trying to get through it/hoping that they'll work in the industry they love again.
Gamedevs don’t get enough appreciation for what they do, and often the biggest impact comes from people the public never hears about.

Technical artists who keep games playable on older systems. It doesn't affect me as much any more but it did for a pretty significant portion of my youth, and there are a lot of games I only got to experience initially because someone made sure minimum specs covered office laptops.

Literally all of QA. Like the QA engineers on my team are the most knowledgeable people and care deeply about the player’s experience. They work so hard and are always happy to help me dig deeper into issues and solve problems.

Localization. Always put last, often forgotten or deprioritized resulting in some of the most brutal crunch I’ve ever seen, actively being threatened by awful AI shortcuts, and yet the entire reason your game might be seen around the world by a diverse audience.

I just finished EXP33 the other night and boy was it a lot of emotional fun, so I was compelled to do some fanart. I usually do cinematic keyframes but the game is already so cinematic, so I did a poster illustration instead :)
