Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Hollywood did the same thing in the wake of the Great Depression about a hundred years ago. And what happened? The workers unionized. And then game studios are SHOCKED when game workers follow the same playbook they are. Spoiler alert: we win in the end!

I THINK one of the things we're really seeing is a continent, maybe industry-wide shift away from full-time employees and towards gig/codev work. And that transition looks like layoffs across the board even from studios that just had big successes.

Nosferatooth! A silly vampiric teeth-building auto-biter! Web-build playable now on itch! Made in a week mostly by Greg Austin and Dean Bowerman. With a little help from me and audio by Jana Heyns.

GO VOTE! Turnout matters! Also, disrupt the algorithm by liking, commenting and sharing leftists posts but COMPLETELY IGNORING right wing posts NO MATTER WHAT. Let them come complain on posts with leftists talking points AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. The more people doing it together the better

SERBIA OVERTHREW THEIR CHAINS AND WON. TWO YEARS OF STUDENT LED RESISTANCE AND THEY WON. BRASIL FOUGHT AGAINST THE POWERS OF THE USA AND OUR OLIGARCHS. THEY RESISTED AND WON. WE CAN DO THE SAME. WE CAN WIN AND START MAKING THINGS RIGHT. WE HAVE TO TRY. THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS TRY.

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

This is my first Halloween / spooky season with my rescue pups Izzy... and oh boy she is so spooked with all the decorations😭😂 She's slowly getting use to all the tall skeletons around... but those leaf filled ghost bags... she ain't having NONE of it! At least she has her new cozy granny sweater!🤗

The Way of Light teaches that non-holy magic is a vile inheritance of the Dragons slain ages ago. Its followers wear ever-burning monster-tallow candles that sputter near magic or monsters. Their beliefs are factually correct, but their methods of enforcing them verge on heresy.

Another collage-y monthly experiment, I'm having incredible fun with these. Most photos were taken on my recent trip to the Vienna art history museum. I love how collaging added a new way in which to view the world, I'm always on a lookout for interesting things i could use!

The fact that Tim, even when he was much younger, rebellious, and eager, could already not feel sadness for a beacon of game design & development innovation and creativity going under when he could back smugness with "economically realistic" explains so much of why Epic is where it is right now.

Each drawing in our game is hand-crafted 🌻 Each line of code is typed manually 🪷 Each asset of every scene is placed carefully 🌺 Each music and each sound is made thoughtfully 🪻 We love making this game and we hope some of you will love playing it 💌

Water tiles dusted. 👊 (+ many other revisions not pictured) Here's a peak at some of the new river & coast tiles. Had big momentum loss with an apartment-move followed by other happenings, and took some mega willpower to resume these water tiles which had been a big pain. Moving on!

I was not a part of today's layoffs, but my husband was. If anyone out there ever sees an application with SES on it know they are by and far the most talented and driven people I know, and I will vouch for them I will write recommendations for each one of them personally, I will yell their praises
