Even if im no longer a part of the company i hope that folks still play Possessor(s) because we, the devs, put a lot of hard work and love into it. We want to see it be enjoyed by folks~

My time at Heart Machine has sadly come to a rather abrupt end. I was there for almost 6 years, & had been working on Breaker since summer 2020. It was a pleasure working with them!
Now, a new chapter begins.

There's no more valuable hire than Myriame. Seriously
My heart is heavy & I might have more to say on that later, but I've got news today that my time at Heart Machine will come to an end after POSSESSOR(S) ships.
I'm honestly too busy... literally shipping the game to start actively looking for work, but I'll be looking for my next gig in December. 🥲

After 7.5 years, my time making music & sound at @heartmachine.bsky.social is ending w/ the recent layoffs.
I'd love to keep pushing boundaries -- please reach out if you think I can help solve your audio problems, especially if you're doing something artistically wild.

100%. The @videogameworkers.bsky.social Freelancing Committee has union insurance ranked as our #1 priority. The process of securing affordable insurance for all union members will admittedly be a long road, but it’s one we MUST take. So often health insurance is the “carrot on a stick.”
I'd love to see game dev unions focus on advocacy for policy changes so groups like @gumbonyc.bsky.social can purchase group health insurance for members. A lot of game devs are freelancers / contract workers, esp. these days where w2 jobs are scarce. For some, it's literally life and death.
