Hello, Bluesky! I'm probably best known for my work @ Naughty Dog, where I spent 21+ years helping make Uncharted, TLOU2, & Jak. Prior to that, I worked in feature/tv animation, including a certain RHCP video. Currently doing game narrative consulting, baking, walking my dog, & not sleeping enough

Some games I loved this year! Not necessarily my games of the year, but games that stood out to me, felt super clever, or otherwise connected deeply.
I'll thread more, but these are the four that I keep thinking about a lot, just incredibly well executed experiences

I only met him a few times in passing, but everyone I know who knew or worked with him said Vince Zampella was one of the good ones; a leader who always fought for his team. My heart goes out to his friends, colleagues, & family.

I remeber getting a call at CAA, from a very upset Vince and Jason. “Bobby is trying to take away the team’s royalty. Can you help?” It was such a hard time, and they were so strong for their team. He deserves better than this. It’s so sad.
