Wild(ly frustrating) time to be alive when the industry is lamenting difficulty getting vis/retaining players but only putting money into growth and performance marketing, gimmicks, AI etc knowing that everyone is sick of ads and craving authenticity, connection and quality experiences

Lots of friends I know are out of work. They are all super skilled, experienced, empathetic, hardworking, and have lots of titles to their names. They're people I would never ever think would have trouble finding work. The only thing separating the people working right now and those not is luck.
I can't emphasize this enough: If you're struggling to find work in games, you're not the only one and please don't blame yourself. The horrible state of the industry is unprecedented. The crash in the 80s and the recession in the late 2000s weren't as rough as this. There are so few opportunities.

We’re two weeks out from release now so I wanna take a minute to shout out @absintheuse.bsky.social who did us a go-to-market plan for the game. None of us have a *clue* how to do any of this stuff and Haley’s guidance and patience with answering even the stupid questions has been so invaluable.
Wanna snag a cool username on launch day? First come, first served!

Kept getting bored as a graphic designer. Edge posted a piece about working at Lionhead and suddenly it felt like there might be a way my skillset could fit in games. Moved to the UK and did a MA in games design
