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!

Anakin Padme meme: "I'm an adult gamer now" "So you'll engage with complex, layered, meaningful, innovative games, not just spend your disposable income endlessly replaying remasters of old titles in desperate, nostalgic escapism." "..." "..."

If you are not replaying old games just for nostalgia than the meme does talk about you.

Santa Ragione @santaragione.com · 2d

and you read "old games are bad?". Look, it's ok to feel guilty about seeking that nostalgia high, we all do.

There's little experimentation with mechanics where events in one player’s run affect the next, and the result is distraction, such as players looking at their phone during off turns.
