Hi Bluesky folks! I'm a technical experience designer on Apex Legends. My work is mainly architecting UI systems and breaking them down into smaller modular, feature-agnostic, and reusable pieces, as well as polishing and shipping individual UIs. Here are some of my favourite features I've shipped!

HUD UI for the R2R5 Buster Sword weapon in Apex Legends that was available in the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth collaboration event

Weapon inventory UI showing the P2020 pistol for the Akimbo feature

Weapon HUD UI showing the Mozambique shotgun pistol in Akimbo mode

The best time to unionize was ten years ago. The second best time is right now.

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?

bought the game because of this lol

A Steam discussion post by myself that reads:

Title:
Heard the game reeks of DEI, so I just bought it

Body:
I've always bounced off Factorio-style games, but I've wanted to give the genre a solid go for a while. The story aspect of this might be just what I need!

Thankful to all the loud, oversensitive snowflakes that are afraid of women and POC and aren't afraid to openly cry in public about it. Their whining is a solid indicator of good games.

Imagine being the first artist in history to have your rap battle L cemented in a federal court opinion. 😭

Judge Vargas literally wrote that “‘Not Like Us’ dealt the metaphorical killing blow.”
Bro didn’t just lose the beef — he made it legally binding.

Take his shoestrings. 💀👟

A dirty truth about games: most of the time leadership is why a project fails or is cancelled, and even worse: those people go and start their own studios get investments because investors don't question the bro code, and the cycle continues.

Sometimes second chances aren't great

The RE puzzle would also have a set of lights above the front door to indicate which faucet is turned on, and a vague poetic hint about ringing the door bell really fast, and also it'd start flooding so you have to close the door within a time limit, but pretty much yup

Hi friends. Unfortunately, my time at Heart Machine is coming to an end. I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. Saying goodbye to such a talented team is difficult, but I am excited for the next adventure. <3

I'll have more info soon.

Thanks everyone. Stay strong out there.

I want to hang with more weirdos, so I'm doing a #promosky

I’m Joe. Artist. Punk. Part dog.

I enjoy:

-Comic books
-Movies
-Horror
-Punk rock
-a dorky sense of humour
-ART

I do not like:

-Gen AI in creative spaces
-Nazi creeps
-anyone who likes yucking people's yums

Joe is standing in a strawberry farm with a bucket of strawberries, wearing baggy shirts, a sleeveless t-shirt with the character Him from Powerpuff girls and gothic text reading HIM. He is wearing a Twin Peaks themed shoulder bag, sunglasses, an orange cap and has a beard and some tattoos.

Four creepy black and white illustrations showing a morbid sensibility. Top left- a woman eating a worm from as bird's mouth as her eyes roll back. Top right a pretty black haired woman beckons as her face is beginning to lift up showing monstrous teeth as a second mouth that outlines her face.
Bottom left, a dark haired woman with a noseless, scarred face regards a pretty mask that floats in front of her face. Bottom right a floating head of a woman with black hair and long tongue screams as her lower jaw is separated from her face.

Either you can't afford to pay someone to make a logo (bad) or you simply don't want to (bad)

Not exactly going to strike confidence when looking for contractors in the future?

Kate Gray @hownottodraw.bsky.social · 12h

I'm pretty sure this is an AI-generated logo. If you look at the other versions of it on their website, every single bird is slightly different (the feet, the head, the bag).

I mean, this sucks, no?

A screenshot of the Sackbird website that says "seek the sack" (horrible) followed by four images of a black bird with a bindle and a human arm. there are minor variations in the art - some birds have bigger heads, or more fingers, or flatter feet.
