15 years of “wisdom” is equivalent to 3 months of experience in our industry. Very little that’s come before applies to what you will go through today. Most things that can be described as a modern hit either relied on an IP with past success, or didn’t follow any of the rules of “good marketing.”

Those of you who have been in gamedev for 5yrs+

What do you wish you knew before you joined the industry? What life lesson would you pass down to someone just joining today?

I had a dream that the Nintendo Close to You video ended up being a new Kid Icarus game. Then I woke up and punched my wall.

Battlefield Bus spotted 👀. They’re really going hard with the BF promo in Japan.

This year’s Tokyo Game Show was big, loud, bombastic, and full of heavy hitters from AAA publishers from around the world for better and for worse. Regardless of the ups and downs this industry goes through, I’m happy and honored to be part of the chaos and noise.
