Guess what?
I'm going to be doing a talk at #gcap2025 on a solution to a problem I've been improving over the last... 15 years?

How do you approximate sounds for large numbers of objects (crowds, trees, collisions, simulated water, etc)?

Well... I finally have a solution that I'm happy with.

The Global Changemaker Academy #GCAP2025 opened today in Bonn

UNCCD ES reminded parliamentarians that 40% of land is degraded, threatening livelihoods and food security.

This 5-day academy, by the #G20GLI & #UNSSC, empowers lawmakers to advance land restoration and drought resilience. #UNited4Land

Some awesome talks lined up here, including my own!

Come see me ramble on at #GCAP2025 about contracting and see how 15 years of working on (too many) games has shaped how I work with them as well as how we work for dev teams!

Creating While the World Burns How the hell do we make video games when everything's falling apart? This isn't another sanitised "industry challenges" talk. This is a raw, honest conversation about trying to create art and entertainment while navigating late-stage capitalism, climate crisis, mass layoffs, AI disruption, and the overwhelming uncertainty of our industry and world. We're making games in an era where studios shut down days after shipping critically acclaimed titles. Where 10,000+ industry workers lost their jobs in 2023 alone. Where private equity treats creative studios like disposable assets. Where AI threatens creative jobs while VCs throw billions at glorified text generators. Where even successful indies struggle to stay afloat amid algorithm changes and discoverability crises. And yet, we're still expected to be creative. To innovate. To pour our hearts into projects that might be cancelled tomorrow or compete with AI-generated knockoffs the day after release. This talk confronts these realities head-on, examining how we can navigate creative work amid existential dread and industry instability. Drawing from survival stories across the industry – from AAA refugees to indie survivors to union organisers – we'll explore practical approaches to maintain creative purpose and mental health while acknowledging the broken systems we're working within. We'll discuss the uncomfortable questions: How do you balance artistic integrity with commercial survival? How do you build sustainable creative processes when nothing feels sustainable? How do we support each other when the industry treats us as disposable? When should we fight back against exploitative practices, and when should we protect ourselves? This isn't about easy answers or toxic positivity. It's about finding a path forward together – building solidarity, setting boundaries, creating meaningful work despite everything, and maybe even reimagining what a healthier games industry could look l…
