This is easily one of my favorite topics to discuss. It's some of the most critical skills a producer can possess, balancing the complex web of competing stakeholders.

I'm lucky to be in the company of some truly great producers to help me figure it out! Also, I may have an opinion or two.

Last night we had our second annual Game Industry Coffee Chat gathering at GDC.

These folks get me up and keep me going each and every day in this industry.

So great seeing them last night!

Been a crazy busy, fun, and yet somehow productive GDC this year.

Been splitting my time between meetings, networking, and coordinating the Game Industry Coffee Chat folks who are here.

Hi! I'm Kenn and I've been in the games industry for a couple decades now working as a writer and producer. I'm a grumpy dark-hearted cynical optimist who loves to build teams.

I'm also #whatagamedevlookslike more often than not...but have been working to change that as well.

See you at #GDC!

Reminder that the Full Version of Muppet Christmas Carol (which includes the "When Love is Gone" song/scene) is available on Disney+ under "Extras".

I think the Die Hard debate is tired and boring at this point. Besides, in my house we know the real Christmas action movie is The Long Kiss Goodnight.

I'm Kenn and I've been working in the Game Industry for 20 years.

I run a Game Industry Coffee Chat most weekday mornings and a Weekly Wind Down on Friday afternoons over at discord.gg/gicc

I talk here mostly about the game industry, production, cooking, parenting, California, and pop culture.

Spent the last day of my vacation with my 4 year old. She never gets time with just me, so we spent the day shopping, going to brunch, having spontaneous dance parties, and playing with Lego.

Today, back at it.

Downtime is important, even when you're not currently employed - maybe more so.

My daughter just came home from her daycare and was super excited to show me the star they made at school today for all the kids to wear:

Ummm...

Having a charcuterie picnic on our bed with the kiddos while they watch Super kitties, so my wife and I can do some laundry. It's ok to be envious.
