Well deserved. 🥰
This. Every day this.
Come work with me! I'm looking for a Senior Level Designer to join my team! (full-time, remote) job-boards.greenhouse.io/crystaldynam...
Well, those are magic words. I’m in.
My 5 year old was doing a maze and I heard him sigh in mild frustration as he said, “Oh, GAME DESIGNERS!”
… do you want a no-fail chocolate chip cookie recipe? I have one that is stellar. I’d be happy to share!
Rachel did you know I learned that I need glasses recently? Did you know it was at GDC? Did you know it was RIGHT BEFORE I GAVE A TALK AND COULDN’T READ THE SPEAKER NOTES WELL ENOUGH?! (This got resolved; thankfully the session rooms are MUCH better lit than the practice rooms!)
Why is staying up so hard nowwwwwww
gdc jump scare 👻
That's a wrap for me for #gdc this year! I'm exhausted, happy, and excited for next year. Thanks to everyone who came to my talk; I felt incredibly loved and supported!
Annnnd now, back to work!
I now know to warn the audience in the future 😆
You guys did so great! I left feeling inspired! Great job to all three of you.

GDC's just about a week away & I've seen all the talks for Rules of the Game & I bet you'll like them as much as I do!
We're Thursday at 3:30, come see what rules will be shared by @carlaeng.bsky.social @ekanaut.bsky.social @nfalstein.bsky.social @harvey1966.bsky.social @alishathayer.bsky.social
I'll be at GDC this year presenting in schedule.gdconf.com/session/rule...!
I'll be doing a talk on technical design called "Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the One-Off," which covers lessons for technical designers on how to balance technical order with creative chaos. Stop by if you're around!
I also spent today on slides! Happy to have it done.
Join me at GDC on Thursday, March 20th at 5:00PM! schedule.gdconf.com/session/rule...
I can recognize that the end result is beautiful in its own right, certainly! But it is always a complex feeling.
I think what you are experiencing is pretty normal. I never seem to reach a sense of pride. I reach a kind of recognition that might grow in fondness over time, but I think the intimate knowledge of the game’s flaws, failings, and deviations from what I set out to do prevent a pure sense of pride.
Well well well... I do have some good news - my Rules of the Game session will be back for GDC '25! With lovely designers @alishathayer.bsky.social @carlaeng.bsky.social @ekanaut.bsky.social @harvey1966.bsky.social @nfalstein.bsky.social

Big thank you to @richardrouse.bsky.social for assembling such an incredible group. I'm humbled to be among them!
I’ll be speaking at GDC 2025 as a contributor to "Rules of the Game 2025: Uncommon Techniques from Insightful Designers"! Join me in practically exploring how technical designers can balance healthy creative chaos with game stability and content-at-scale. schedule.gdconf.com/session/rule...
Hi Noah!
I just taught my four-year-old son, a natural lawyer and min/maxer, how to earn money. Pray for me.
Nice seeing it get a little more lively over here!
I didn't know James McCaffrey personally, but I remember being so star-struck and honored to work near his orbit on Max Payne 3. I am a huge fan, and receiving deliveries of his performances to bring to life in gameplay is a cherished memory. RIP to a brilliant and unique actor.
Anyone is welcome to apply. If you meet the qualifications and we are able to provide sponsorship on that role, then the recruiting team will reach out for next steps! Best of luck!
I have two senior design roles open on my team at Crystal Dynamics, both remote!
