OK!

So laid off- been on the job hunt (again).

I'm at the point where I should probably put a portfolio site together. I'd love to hear what kind of content you designers are putting on there.

A good chunk of my work is invisible to the player, unfortunately (TD work).

I need to start a podcast or join one this year. Either focusing around stormlight archive or game dev.

Weekly check in.

How's everyone holding up out there? #gamedev

Shit has been rough- or has still been going rough for some- I know. (I'm still looking for a gig)

I hope the rest of YOUR week is better ❤️

Remember to take care of yourselves and don't be shy to ask for help.

The donut selection this week is 🔥🔥

Just curious.

Does #gamedev know if there's a starter pack for those who are job hunting?

I'm still on the hunt for a gig after the studio got shut down back in June.

If anyone is looking for an awesome senior game designer who's shipped some games let me know!

Oh man.

So is it finally happening and sticking? I'm stoked to finally leave that hell hole Twitter became.

Anyways,
Hi #Gamedev !

Excited to see some familiar faces and new ones!
