Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!

Friendly reminder that EA’s photosensitivity tool (IRIS) is free for everyone to use if you need it. In this case, it could save literal lives.

Unfortunately, something I experienced after we launched Jedi. 😂 On my mind because of a more recent release.
Criticism is great, essential even. Just be specific, and preferably understanding of the process of creating something in a collaborative setting.

Good: “This didn’t resonate with me.”, etc.
Bad: “Dude, this thing you worked on SUCKED…” “Ok” “…like, just AWFUL dude…” “Ok.” “…like, why would anyone ever make this?” “OK!”

EA has added 23 more patents to its accessibility patent pledge, and released a new photosensitivity analysis plugin for Unreal Engine 5.
The plugin allows developers to test in-game in real-time. This makes it easier to test often and early.
