Congrats to @evolvepr.bsky.social's very own @cassmoney.bsky.social & @pandoish.com for running their first ever panel at #PAXEast! Aptly named "It's Not All Art and Programming?! Jobs in Games You Didn't Know Existed," we explored the lesser known ways of getting your foot in the door the industry!

Enshrouded's next update promises a 'rebirth of the shroud,' with new monsters, resources, and a whole new weapon customization system
