I've been on the job hunt again since my contract ends and getting anyone to even get near my previous salary ($180-190k) immediately disqualifies me. I'm looking at a 50% paycut right now. It's brutal.

...asking for a rate that high is only achievable by a handful of well-funded companies in high cost of living cities. Riot, Sony studios, some smaller VC funded studios that got money before this whole thing collapsed.

This is not accurate. I've been earning north of $180k since 2020 (but no more than $190k) and I've DEFINITELY an anomaly within my friend group who are mostly visual artists, producers and QA. Having been on the job hunt early this year and now again...

Lad doesn't even read his own comments lmao. He's certainly not reading random devs' posts.

Also these people are on their way out of an industry that's already struggling. The grift can only go on so long.

I love seeing how an artists art changes over time. It'd be more concerned if it didn't it means you have stopped trying new things!

Thank you <3 I'm also a werewolf love so working on that game was such a pleasure! I did feel bad when I had to neuter them tho... rip werewolf balls :(

Big hugs. You're not alone but I know that doesn't make it easier. I'm also having to contemplate potential massive life changes... It's a scary time. 🫂

She's my little weird ghoul!!

As a fellow werewolf lover this tickles me. I hope they have bonus cat werewolves. 🥺

I feel seen that the original post has the Lycan from The Order:1886. Always a jumpscare to see a game you worked on a decade later 😂
November 13, 2025 at 7:49 AM
The Order 1886 mentioned!! (I worked on that game...)

Nah I get it... It was weird. I just wanted to apologize, cause I should know better. I hope you get ice cream from a beautiful lady soon 🙏

Also realized I prolly sounded like a creep without the context of being trans above. This is what happens when I comment outside of my circle 😭🫠 apologies!!

I'll take what I can get, trans laddies need some love too 😭

and to be fair one of my favourite franchises is NOTORIOUS for this - the amount of event exclusive Pokemon that exist and have never been redistributed or won't be seen for another 10 years is ridiculous.

HOWEVER, I also know when I'm not enjoying a game enough to 100% it or even complete it. The games I find difficult are ones that are perpetually updated so there is no way to keep up without constantly playing. Seasonal content shouldn't be locked away cause I took a break :(
November 12, 2025 at 11:23 PM
as a person who 100%'d TotK I was kinda sad there wasn't more. xD every single aspect of that game was a complete joy for me

Loved Carol and The End of the World.
