Yeah, feel free to message me if I can answer anything or help pass you or anyone else along. Those links will tell me if anyone applies so I can also advocate on my end to try to help.
Happy to seperately (Absurd-aside) help make any connections 🙏

Lead Open World Designer Santa Monica

Hey Steven, really sorry to hear that. Having heard a bit about the team before, I can imagine they are all incredibly talented! At Absurd Ventures we're down the street on the Promenade and have a couple of designer roles at the moment, would love to chat:

Horribly tragic news... throughout my time at IW and since then I've only heard stories of how much Vince has helped people and been such a strong advocate for his teams. Huge loss for the industry of course but also huge loss as a person. Very sorry for your loss, Chet.

A post containing my top 100 video games of all time

Haven't decided if this is ordered or not but I was tired of telling people "X game is probably a top 100 game for me". So, here you go.

GTA 6 is really shaping up!

Despite some years of contribution, I'm, more than anything, excited for all of my old coworkers at Rockstar who have all eyes on them to deliver on insane expectations.
They nail it every time as I knew they would!

Huge congrats to them!!

I guess maybe it's better than it fragmenting in a bunch of ways. Plus it makes the X-Ray cooler. But sheesh, can imagine that didn't feel great 😅

Oh wow haha. That's a super crazy overlap. This is also the second time I've met someone in Baggage claim while returning from GDC who also worked on very similar stuff lmao. First time someone had a similar tagline though 😅

Yeah, that's what I'd figure. Cause if I'm playing on a high difficulty, especially using a bar...I don't think I'm focused on using tip toes lol.
Plus i'm curious if they still register well without shoes?

Rad!
Is it super loud? I've always wanted one but was afraid it wouldn't last in a Los Angeles apartment lol.

After working on huge IP and sequels for a while, I'm looking forward to going dark for a while and just making some rad stuff with rad people. Thanks to all of those who've been awesome to work with to this point!!

A BETTER PARADISE Enter the new world from Absurd Ventures with the original audio fiction series, A BETTER PARADISE Volume One: An Aftermath. Listen now.

I haven't been a part of something at the conception phase like this in a long time. Getting to not only shape what the game is from a missions perspective but also getting to help form the culture of the studio is a great and exciting challenge. The team is small but growing!
