I'm hiring a CM to work with our community of creators, content moderation and UGC marketing support at @mod.io. It's a remote position, preferably for someone who can easily work with Europe & Australia. It's a pretty specific role, don't hesitate to reach out to chat.
Anno 117, Europa Universalis 5 and Endless Legends 2 all out and I'm stuck there having one of the busiest months of my career when all I want to do is sink 200 hours in each.

Another partnership that feels quite personal, one of my favorite game franchises, and the old friends form Ubi and their crazy talented modding community renewing their trust in mod.io. ❤️
We're honored to continue our modding journey with Anno & our friends at @ubisoft.com!
After Anno 1800, mod.io will again be the home for mods for Anno 117: Pax Romana. The official page is already live and ready to share your creations and download mods others created!

I've spent 5 years at Paradox during the development of Bloodlines 2, very excited for everyone who has been involved with this project to see it live.
I've zero credit to take or stories to tell about this project, better people than me have always been the ones making the hard decisions for it. 🖤

I was 4 months pregnant when I got invited to a party that turned out to be Bloodlines 2 announcement day
My kid goes to school now
The game is finally out - the miracle happened
Have the best fun playing it, folks, and you can bet I'll be here for the next one 🙏

Once again, incredibly good and very difficult to argue against.

Had a blast being part of the jury for this, even if it led to late night sessions to play all the mods. Gor worried for a minute with this contest but ended up in awe with the quality of the submissions. Still the early days for FP2 modding community, but crazy stuff already available!
Congratulations to the winners of the Frostpunk 2 Modding Contest organized by @11bitstudios.bsky.social, we were blown away by the level of quality and ambition of submissions.
These mods are definitely worth you giving them a spin for your next run!

If I'm being honest, I'd just like to have a week off to play shitloads of Helldivers 2 right now 🤷🏼♂️

Been playing the entries from the Frostpunk mod contest and I'm thoroughly impressed. Have a hard time imagining getting back to Vanilla which is rare for me (maybe surprisingly considering my job but on well!)

Hello! I want to speak with game journalists who left the world of ads and corporate ownership behind to build worker-owned, independent publications.
Is that you? Do you want to chat about the trials and triumphs of independent media and what it means for reporters and devs? Let's talk!

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.
I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

Incredibly frustrated to see AI functionalities I don't need, that and provide no value to me, being added to essentially all the tools and software I use. Taking space on the UI and creating frictions and frustrations in an otherwise good user experience. No AI is every day more of a USP to me.

I'll be at Devcom in a couple of hours, once I've checked in my hotel and stuff. Gonna try to watch a few talks from friends today before I'm stuck in meetings for the rest of the week. Howler at me if you want a quick chat and/or a hug!
