A question I often get: "So what's a Dialogue Lead? What is it you actually do?" I'm happy to break it down: Game audio can be divided into three categories; music, sound effects, and dialogue. On the dialogue team our priority is to ensure that all spoken content sounds believable and immersive.

my optimistic take: as AAA embraces slop, unbearable revenue models & privacy invasion, it'll drive consumers back to meaningful experiences made by small studios (+ AAA's newly-minted ex-staff). The LLM bubble will burst in 2027 & investment capital will return (though not to 2012-2022 levels).

The ability to get around with modern GPS apps. You can even manage complex systems like public transportation in a city you've never been to before! My first thought when I got a smart phone in college was, "I'm never going to be lost again."

How did Insomniac make Marvel’s Wolverine more accessible? I spoke with Michele Zorrilla and Sam Schaffel from @insomniac.games about high-contrast shaders, traversal assist, combat cues, violence settings, and the research behind it all. Watch: youtu.be/hPvcpzUBCVU

I'm humbly requesting @natashahoar.bsky.social play Marvels Wolverine so I can hear all her thoughts on the audio and VO specifically.

6) Marvel's Wolverine - @insomniac.games I beat this game on the hardest difficulty, which is something I have never done before. I legit had a great time playing this. I loved the challenge of it, and because of the accessibility, it's one of my favourite games of the year.

Every shipped game is a miracle! I'm proud of the teamwork and craft that went into every aspect of this game. Check it out if you're interested, digital and physical copies are available now!

My favorite Wolverine is @danschkade.bsky.social's Wolverine.

September 15th is almost here! I'm very excited to share our work with fans around the world. youtu.be/G62QQ42Ewwg?...

Hey, there's only TWO weeks left until Marvel's #WolverinePS5 is out on PlayStation 5!

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Saying one of the most prolific live service titles “fell short of expectations” in a massive layoff announcement is a slap in the face to every dev and every player who knows how much Destiny meant in an industry where longevity is rare. Whose expectations did it fail? The investors? The execs?

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

bungie, former destiny 2 devs told me, was a fraught work environment, but many devs and teams did what they consider to be career-best work despite that

Please forgive my tears… this one was tough. Thank you to every Warlock + Guardian who kept this legendary game alive for these past wonderful years. It has been an honor and privilege to have taken this journey with you. See you starside… 💙 #Ikora #IkoraRey #Destiny2 #DestinyTheGame

Check out the new extended gameplay trailer of Wolverine! I may be biased but I think the dialogue sounds pretty sweet. CW: So, so much blood. People get stabbed a lot. youtu.be/OiBo_NgYI5Q?...

The thing to take away about Destiny 2's fate is that shit takes a long time in game dev. The discussions we were having a year or two ago are echoing as fixes in this final patch. The dour community mood from a year ago killed it now. Echoes & shadows of years past affect games more than you think.

and the Epilogue

The claws are coming out. Get a closer look at Marvel's Wolverine during State of Play on June 2! More details: blog.playstation.com/2026/05/20/s...

Oh nice! My Zelda episode on Post Games is now freely available. It was fun and we covered a lot of ground in a short time, I was pretty proud of this one.

video game sound designers please use this thanks

I'm reminded of this observation -- Somewhere along that lower gradient men cease to see woman as people. And I sorta think it might be at about the 25% mark, to be honest.

ok #gameaudio people of the PNW, I have an ask of you. Our Sonic Landscape is coming up and I'm looking to spread the word. I would greatly appreciate if you would share this news with another audio person to let them know about it. especially if they aren't on this site. www.oursoniclandscape.com

You better believe I'm wearing my April 1st shirt again this year!

In a world where you can be for anything, be for: - Trans rights. - Access to gender-affirming care for anyone who wants it. - Recognition of and celebration of trans people past and present.
