“Dora has been an INCREDIBLE producer for In Stars and Time!!! Always organized and strategic, always helpful, always a pleasure to talk to. I could not have asked for a better producer, and In Stars and Time wouldn’t have had the same success without her!!!”

Gummy Cat

“Dora is one of the kindest, coolest, most organized and thoughtful producers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I genuinely believe that without her fighting for us from the very first email pitch, Bear and Breakfast would not have existed.”

Peak gaming awaits. I think Zu’s captured lightning in a bottle with this one — Mega Man Battle Network with idle elements is a freaking brilliant idea. So excited ⚡️

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

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!

Which isn’t to say that the work done on those games isn’t great, but doing a PlayStation concert without highlighting PaRappa, LittleBigPlanet, MediEvil, etc is utterly baffling. That’s not even getting into third party w/ Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear etc

One of the more sad things about this is that PlayStation’s lineage consists of games that are hugely renowned for their music specifically, but they’ve chosen to highlight games that - respectfully - don’t have that kind of cachet in the audio department
