So, new home, I like it here!

For those who don't know me, I'm a voice actor and director and I also advise studios on how to get great performances in their games.

Recently you'll have heard me in; Star Trucker, Frostpunk 2 and the Starfield DLC!

Today I got the privilege to watch as 18 months of writing, planning, casting and directing came to a head as we recorded the emotional heart of the story.

I couldn't have asked for more talented or professional actors, or a better team to experience this with.

Frostpunk 2 DLC lands later today!

We recorded a LOT of new content for this so go forth and send the children back down the mines...

Thanks as always to @11bitstudios.bsky.social for letting me embrace the snowlands once again!

Today I was at SIDE running a table read, something almost never done for videogames.

The cast and team are amazing, this was such a wonderful creative day of collaboration. More of this please, Games Industry!

The BTS footage from today should be interesting 🤣

Day 1 of a new videogame directing project at the wonderful @sideglobal.bsky.social

We'll see if I'm still smiling after the inevitable trauma and death we'll be recording in the coming months...

LAUNCH DAY!

A Pinball Game That Makes You Mad is out, now! Be prepared to get berated by me as you fail a bunch of times you lousy nerds.

Good luck, don't rage quit...

Like others I played the Arc Raiders playtest, enjoyed it and was looking forward to the game only to discover they are using AI voices.

Their reasoning was that they can "go from ideation to implemented voice work in hours not months"

Thing is, that's not an AI issue, that's a pipeline problem...

"Jay, can you give us a read that's the 'Stanley Parable meets Bennett Foddy'?"

I'll do my best...

A busy day yesterday directing at SIDE on day one of a new project!

Highlights were:

Working at SIDE with great actors
Weird "shower show" setup at hotel
AMAZING dinner with a 1KG steak
Hotel Cuck Chair of the year

Happy Friday...

Ah, the internet..

I've clearly woken up to there being some kind of discourse overnight but it's posts that hint at the thing without talking about the thing and then you have to go and fing the thing and see whether or not it's a thing you're actually interested in.

Or... I could stroke my dog

Just had to go get a blood test done with the NHS and I was out 2 minutes before my appointment was even due to start...

Needless to say, I bought a lottery ticket on the way home.

Sat in the airport awaiting my flight home from Gamescom.

Tired, but man is my heart full. For all the trials and tribulations of this industry it has the kindest, most giving people I've ever met.

16yrs I've been here and that wouldn't be the case without the help of the amazing people in it.

Last year, in London, I had to buy an emergency pair of socks. The only place available was a posh shop and one pair of socks was £15, ouch, but needs must.

Let me tell, I'm furious, because a year on they are still the BEST DAMN PAIR OF SOCKS I'VE EVER OWNED. This is how the rich live every day.

Sure, sex is great but have you ever chipped it in from here for a birdie?

Over 5,300 pieces but it's finally done! Absolutely no idea where I'm going to put it but it was a very fun build 🤓

You (should) never stop learning or training in this line of work, there is always more to know or another perspective to consider.

So, this is today's reading material, excited to dive in!

My Cursed Captains of Cthulhu rulebook is on its way!

It's from @blackcatsgaming.bsky.social and it's a ridiculously good system for some Lovecraftian, swash buckling adventure. I backed it on Kickstarter so I've got the book, GM screen, dice set and other goodies coming!

One-shot anyone?

I've been invited to come and sniff things at Gamescom... feels like a trap

Well it took me most of the evening to make it not cost the world but... I'm off to Gamescom!

I've never been to either Gamescom or Germany so I'm very excited. Less excited about the 06:50 flight time and possible murder hotel I'm staying in...

This, so much this, especially for newer actors.

If you're at an industry event, you're all ready "in", you don't have to impress everyone or treat every conversation like a potential casting.

Be genuine, love the work and make friends, that's it.
My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart

If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.
