I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.”

Oh well. That’s over.

Reminder that The Game Awards are anti-developer, anti-gamer, and are emblematic of the biggest problems in the industry. Don't give them a moment of your time.

Fuck The Game Awards. All my homies hate The Game Awards.

Gamedevs don’t get enough appreciation for what they do, and often the biggest impact comes from people the public never hears about.

Which gamedevs would YOU give an award to, and for what?

I feel like audio designers don't get much recognition, so I want to give awards to all of them !

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.

Don’t just think global. Be global.

'For Those Who Come After'

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 :)

Congratulations to all Devs nominated tonight! Our jobs are complex, undervalued, and challenging and despite that we put art into the world for others.

Thank you to the protesters outside TGA tonight: Game Devs deserve fair wages, fair benefits, and a safe workplace.

Please keep creating 💙

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.
