In today's video I go over what I earnt as a full time game designer in 2025, comparing my income over the past few years and how it varies from game to game.
My aim has always been to increase transparency in the industry and help newer designers with what to expect.

I’m down with letting Tawny run Star Trek moving forward. She knows it so well.

Tawny Newsome is awesome.
I know there are haters, but I'm really enjoying watching Star Fleet Academy with my family. And this episode was very cool. DS9 is my favorite Trek, and this was an awesome homage.
Thank you so much! That was such a great chat. :)

Last year for @sdhistcon.bsky.social I interviewed @djackthompson.bsky.social on the Homo Ludens YouTube channel about his upcoming design Rebels Against Rebellion. I was really proud of it, and I don't think enough people have seen it, so I'm plugging it again now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Cf...

I am trying to cut down on my blind crowdfunding purchases of games, but this new one by Trevor Benjamin, Brett Gilbert, and @djackthompson.bsky.social is pretty much going to be an auto-buy.
