Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

It’s really disappointing to be a game developer right now. To work so hard and be met with less support, less resources, and less jobs. That’s how you know we reaaaaally fucking love what we do, because why else would we endure what comes with it?
