- Many studios initiate hiring freezes in Q4

- Use this time to polish your application

Many companies initiate hiring freezes in Q4 and they’re NOT vocal about it (may even have open roles on their websites 🙃).
So if you’re applying rn and get rejected, don’t be discouraged, apply again in January-February. ❤️

Lilly Gao (the vo for Ada Wong in re4 remake) was harassed off social media for being “lackluster”. Not sure if she got her accounts up again but that was fkn awful
Gamers, devs, here’s the deal:
Leadership is counting on that the rage we feel towards layoffs and injustice to “blow over in a couple of days” and “people will go back to normal” once they’ve had their “tantrums”.
Don’t forget what happened. Stay angry. Keep them accountable.

What do you wish students of game development were taught during their education?
To specify,
What do you believe is the big knowledge gap between school and industry that students would benefit to know for a smoother transition?
Christmas Holiday PSA

- don't comment on how much they eat
- don't push alcohol, no is a no
- respect energy bandwidth
- respect physical boundaries
- respect that not all enjoy Christmas, and that's ok
Having met and connected with so many lovely

people over the past couple of days and my heart is just about to burst. 🫠
My corner of Twitter has been filled with positive, generous, and loving energy. Thank you all for that.
We are better together.

Metal: Hellsinger release party tomorrow but I’m?? still?? in disbelief??? that I actually shipped a game.. will it land at some point?
We’re almost at 4k reviews and still 97%, you all, thank you ❤️
Hello to all I’ve gotten to know over the past two days. 👋
Thank you all for being so kind, respectful and generous towards each other in this online-networking-train. That’s what I’m most grateful for in all of this.
Let’s keep exercising compassion, kindness and humanity.
Gamers, you are entitled to be dissatisfied and disappointed.
But what compels you to act out in hateful and destructive manner instead of either a) constructive criticism b) just keeping it to yourself.

I thought you were great as Ada. Love and strength to you.
My feelings on Ken Levine resurfacing after a decade to reveal a game that looks the same as his other games can pretty much be summed up by these two articles:
If you founded an indie studio that ended up being closed down please know that you have been so fucking brave. Please know that you did one of the hardest things imaginable. Please know that I look up to you.
Over 3k reviews and still 97% ❤️🔥 thank you all so much, it’s an amazing (and unbelievable) feeling.

everywhere. This has been such a crazy ride since launch.
Please know that I am so grateful for the support, kindness and absolute wholesomeness of the community.
You all rock🤘❤️
I feel hopeless today.
What does it take.
It has been 114 days.
500+ (known) executions.
19k+ (known) imprisoned protesters on potential death row.
70+ (known) murdered children.
So sure you brought the stock up price some, made some shareholders happy, but wtf are you going to do about that permeating fear, resentment and hurt in your studio?
I believe it's rare to see industry figureheads express themselves this way. As too tired, exhausted. Obv not rejoicing by the fact that he is, but I think there is something really important and responsible in showing that side when you have that reach and creative credibility.
I struggle with wanting to be liked, always have, and that has unfortunately bled into my role as a producer.
This is something I consistently have to work on. To challenge myself when I make a decision: “Is this actually what I believe is right, or am I just people pleasing?”
Say hi at GDC?
❤️A pfp is very diff from what we actually look like IRL. Pls intro yourself by name/ twitter handle

I’ve had a rough couple of months, and it is a daunting year for the world. Today, more than ever, I am happy and grateful for the uncompromising love, safety, and stability provided to me by my friends and family, and wish the same for everyone. I am lucky.
