Thanks everyone who's shared this so far. We've had surprisingly few responses, so if you were worried about not standing a chance, we'd gently suggest you give it a go!
Call for a voice actor!
We’re looking to cast a female actress for our next game. Vocal age 25-35, Northern England accent, preferably Mancunian, incl. Pakistani and Indian Mancunian accents.
That’s you? Then send a sample to [email protected], marked “casting call”.
Paid gig, ofc

Hey, kids! Who wants to look at some Old Game Development Images? When we were starting work on remastering Sam & Max Save The World, we weren't sure what we wanted things to look like so we did a couple early tests by drawing over the original game, sweetening the colors, trying more stylization:

It breaks my heart to say it, but unfortunately I was caught up in this layoff. The industry is a complete mess right now, and I don’t blame any of this on the folks at Cyan, who have done as right by me as they possibly could.
Hi all—we're sorry to say that we've had another round of layoffs at Cyan.

I wrote 100+ articles for AG between 2004 and 2022. My experience there got my foot in the door at Telltale, which shaped my entire career. Lately I'd been using the forums A LOT for research for a book I'm writing -- an enormous amount of history wiped out. I'm sad about this for so many reasons. 😔
