As 2025 winds to a close, we say goodbye to a few members of our team whose work was instrumental in bringing Ambrosia Sky: Act One to life.
Each of these folks is an incredible talent. Though we've made the difficult decision to part ways for now, I'd be lucky to work with any of them again.

Fair weather allies that balked the moment pressure ramped up are perhaps even worse than people who stayed steadfastly racist, homophobic, and sexist.
Giving platforms without meaningful opportunities is just an exercise in assuaging their guilt.

Found it. The non-disparagement clause in 2K's employment contract from 2020. The whole thing was the most draconian read and the reason I pulled out of an interview (this was sent prior to a Zoom meet).

The Future Class was created in 2020 when a lot of companies responded to online critiques and broader social justice movements with DEI initiatives.
Hard not to read part of the subtext here as the TGAs, like many other brands, trying to distance itself from "woke."

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

In what might be my last GDC, I got to meet Sabrina over at GLAAD. She was serious about lowering barriers for queer game devs and made good on it with this program.
tl;dr: GDC all acess + 2k stipend for early to mid career gaybies. Due date Nov 10.

I'm already attending graduate program informationals to figure out if I want to become a regular therapist rather than a fake one, because that's half of production.
I had to personally spend a bunch of time "managing" the relationship between two devs because they were BOTH so unpleasant they couldn't communicate with each other.
if you wanna be mercenary about it bc you're allergic to soft and nice things: having a miserable teammate breaks feedback funnels and slows production. they break communication channels. people spend valuable time and energy tiptoeing around a volatile team member.
bad attitudes are expensive.

removing straight as an option is peak game design and i will NOT be clarifying
some people asked us if our game is LGBT+ friendly but no one's asking if it's straight friendly 🤔
