👋 Hi Bluesky. This is a pinned self-intro! • 10 years working in games, half of those on Warframe • Musician & former entertainment journalist (Exclaim, blogTO, Indie88) • The voice you hear on TheDigiKnow • Self published author of Dot Monster ReVolution

Fair question: Why doesn't TennoGen ship the second it's approved? First we need... 1. License agreements so artists are compensated 2. Rigging & tech animation setup 3. QA pass for offsets, clipping, etc 4. Steam & In Game market setup 5. Keyart to promote it & help it reach an audience

Not picking favourites but just look at the VERMIS SIGNA by Travelling Merchant & Therion! PlayWarframe's post could only fit 4 images, so here's the 5th we have lined up for Sep 23! TennoGen!

PlayWarframe@warframe.com

TennoGen Iceblade includes an Entrati-inspired Syandana and two new Signas befitting the upcoming Nights of Naberus! Also includes the first community-created skin for Jade and a flowery new helmet for Citrine, just in time for her turn in Prime Access.

My boy Amir from his Tennocon reveal, pulled back so you can see his whole face. Because I animated it. Because of course I did. I meant to upload this earlier, but the lack of audio in the previewer threw me for a loop.

Finally home after many adventures and a stupid amount of hours in transport. WOW what a week, the amount of things I’ve experienced and people I’ve met at #tennocon26 was incredible, I am still processing everything. Despite everything, this costume brought me so much good #warframe #warframefanart

I didn't think to talk about this much last year, but the Yareli Prime trailer was kind of a special case, because to get stepped animation in engine, we couldn't have cloth. So everything on Yareli ended up rigged. All her fins, all her tails. All keyframed for this one trailer. #warframe

Big thanks to Kat, Ryan, Rene, and Rebenca for joining me on stage! Did you enjoy the panel?

The Narrative of #Warframe panel is about to start. Join host @coreyonline.bsky.social as he guides us through a behind-the-scenes look at how we craft the story and characters of Warframe! https://www.twitch.tv/warframe

One more consideration re: cutting discs. Many public libraries offer VIDEO GAMES alongside books, movies, CDs, manga, even vinyl! No more discs cuts games out of libraries. Games want to be taken seriously as an art form and then refuse to behave like a serious art form.

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

I started negatively reviewing cafes & restaurants if they use gen ai & i'm so not sorry 🤷‍♂️ Not 1 star but like 3 star "nice food, ugly a.i. art in the window" Google Reviews encourage you to cover the food, service, & VIBE. If you have nasty, anti human "art" in your shop the vibes are off!!!!

I went to a throwback jazz cafe. Gen a.i. "Wifi info" sign. Gen a.i. menus and posts on their Instagram. The trust is gone. Was this food made here? Why should I believe you? Extra disappointed it was in a JAZZ cafe, meant to celebrate & showcase human artistry. Booooo!

Jade Shadows: Constellations adds a TON to Warframe. A personal favourite of mine is the new OLLIE Honoria! Complete Ollie's Crash Course in under 1:30 to earn the title of "Ollie's Biggest Fan" 🏁 The James & Ollie journey continues! Our third(?) update to feature new Ollie content 🏄

Thanks Rebb & Gary for making this Honoria a thing! & Ronnie for co-writing Ollie with me in 2024 :] James, the voice of Ollie, is doing great by the way. He's always looking for voice acting opportunities!

Really quite sad over the loss of Oliver Tree. 32 years young. His passion for storytelling via music, video, fashion was inspiring. He was known for his sillier songs, but in the middle of an album there were tracks with raw, CRYSTAL-CLEAR sincerity. Oliver was a true artist.

Recently DE made a few edits to the TennoGen Guide's "Getting Started" & "Reasons For Rejection" tabs. No real policy changes, only clarifications: best ways to contact DE regarding TG + an even more explicit denouncement of generative AI, plagiarism, copyright infringement. ✌️

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Thrilled to confirm I am back hosting the Warframe Narrative Panel at TennoCon 2026! 💜 We got the green light for a second year!! I'll be joined by an all-star panel of Warframe writers & actors for a deep dive into The Old Peace, Jade Shadows, writing advice and much more!

Had the pleasure of drawing this year's Pride displays for Warframe. Here is Mesa Prime and Kaithe! #warframe #art

I believe this is DE's 5th year supporting Rainbow Railroad! They're an org that helps at-risk people who are trying to escape persecution & violence. Often this includes assistance with resettlement to new, safer countries. Important work! Protect each other 🌈🛤️

PlayWarframe@warframe.com

The Origin System is celebrating Pride all throughout June! Join in on the festivities with brand-new Pride items, watch our Featured Warframe Creators and more. https://wrfr.me/4tYrRl1

We all lift together. As Rebb said perfectly, "There is no Warframe without the legacy of Bungie games."

As the friendly rivalry between Destiny and Warframe players comes to an end, both communities are trying to find the best way to say goodbye. https://bit.ly/3RmjMt4

This is NOT about me, but the teeny tiniest example... - If i don't go to Evan's house to play Halo 3, I don't discover Rock Band - If I don't discover Rock Band, I don't try real guitar - Without guitar, I don't start reviewing music - Without writing about media, I don't get to DE

Outside of WF I would like to get back to interviewing interesting creatives. I used to be a blogger / entertainment journalist / music critic before game dev. It was fun and I'd like to pick it back up as a hobby! People are very interesting and Canadian media is so back

I also saw MILE END KICKS the other day! Canadian filmmakers are on a roll. If Scott Pilgrim was 2000s indie TORONTO, this is 2010s indie MONTREAL. An accurate and hilarious time capsule! Deeply real to anyone who's played in bands OR attended friends' shows in crappy bars. This is MY Mixtape~

Saw BLUE HERON last Thursday and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. A beautiful, creative, deeply personal film that blurs the line between reality and fiction. Once it clicked, it was mind blowing. My new favourite Canadian film and favourite indie / small budget / whatever

All I knew ahead of time was that Blue Heron has a HOUSE HIPPO reference. Legendary late 90s / early 2000s commercial in Canada. I did not expect the House Hippo scene to be one of the most clever, transformative, necessary bits of fair use I've ever seen. Its inclusion is kind of VITAL lol.
