POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.
I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

Some incredibly good news:
One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.
In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.
In short, it’s working.
So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

22 years ago… before Eberron… I was lead designer on an MMORPG called Lost Continents. It was pulp adventure—like Indiana Jones and Uncharted (but before Uncharted!). I just stumbled on a book of concept art and thought I’d share some images this week.

If you're looking around wondering how we got such great games like Baldurs Gate 3 and Tears of the Kingdom I want you to consider it is because of companies that retain their talent. Those teams were able to make those games because they got to stick together.

Remember, when people talk about AAA studios, it refers to the sound of the screaming during the #gamedev process. AA studios have slightly less screaming. AAA+ is all the screaming plus a little bit extra. Indie means the devs scream independently.
