so, uh, I guess the studio responded to this by replacing their website art!

(not gonna lie, I'm torn between "lol, lmao" and "hm, that's a bit of an immature response from a professional game studio")

A screenshot of the Sackbird website which used to have an AI-generated skyline of Baltimore, and now has an intentionally shitty bunch of brown boxes labelled as "Fort McHenry" and "Sackbird Studios" in Comic Sans. It has clearly been drawn in MS Paint in about 5 minutes

First weekend as unemployed coming up. Maybe time to check out all of these tutorials and stuff i've been hoarding, or maybe pick up some of the games in my backlog. Endless possibilities!

The update contains three main additions that have climbed high on the community’s wish list: New Game+, the iconic Cairo outfit, and voice language select.

whats even better is that the gym I signed up for is in my building so I have about an elevator ride and 10 steps to the door.

Naming your studio sackbird after getting sacked from working on project blackbird is pretty clever! :P

Due to redundancies I am now looking for work!
I have 5 years of experience as a 3d artist. I am primarily looking for full time positions in studio or remote but open to other options.
Any reposts are appreciated! 🙏

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

When Taylor Swift wrote the lyric, “Did you girlboss too close to the sun?”, do you think she wept from the knowledge she’d never write anything as profound ever again?

Check out our big preview of MEWGENICS.

I played 30+ hours of the game, interviewed Edmund and Tyler and put together a 35 minute preview about one of 2026’s biggest games.

It's that time again, folks. I have been told I will be let go from Heart Machine next week. The people there have been amazing friends and coworkers and anyone else who has been affected deserves all the love and support.

I will be updating my portfolio soon; any Env Art leads would be appreciated
