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.

Celebrating the Possessor(s) team 🖤 | Notion
I am not one to post like this usually, but as things have developed recently, I want to take a minute and get some stuff off my chest.

Every time Keighley turns up, I ask myself why he is The Guy. Who allowed this? Why do we continue to let him be The Guy?
"We found out later that Keighley had a party in another room with all the influencers and industry people. You know where Future Class met that day? At a Starbucks.”

paying a thousand US dollars to watch ads is so crazy
Game Awards: We're inviting less press and opening up seats to the public so that we (probably) can have a more engaged, excited audience for the camera and make more money

I asked about Game Awards press tickets in October. Got an email yesterday encouraging me to buy my own, as there were no spares.

In the interest of self-preservation I need to start reiterating: my current contract with KO_OP ends late Nov, and I'm looking for my next gig! I'm a game/narrative designer, writer, & generalist with lots of implementation experience in Unity, some in Unreal, knowledge of C#, Python, and more.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"
They want people to assume this means game info or assets.
But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:
'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.

A little peek into how the sausage is (being) made:
These are the start of the shadow masks I'll be using to define where fake cast shadows should fall on the character
Combining this with a bunch of other masking and overlays will give me some nice control over shadow behavior
