Hello! I'm Joey - I'm a Level Designer currently moving blocks over at Riot Games on VALORANT. Before that I worked on Rogue Company and did lots of modding. Maybe working on a Survival Horror personal project?! 🤔
Excited to be here!

I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.
I’m Starting To Worry This Industry Has No Respect For The People Who Work In It

I love games. I love making them. But the greed of this industry makes me sad.
This is the ultimate goal of AI - don't buy the claims that it's to help your efficiency. They want you gone.

I realised we don't talk about this enough, cause people always seem surprised to find out that you can play the demo right now. But yeah, our project is made possible by our supporters, so anyone signing up gets immediate access to the full opening mission demo.
