Once again sending out this friendly reminder that I am desperately seeking for work as a sound designer in the gaming industry.

I've worked on multiple shipped games including Keeper, Stormgate, alongside upcoming releases such as Kiln and Unmasked Truths.

Connect with me. Talk with me. Hire me.

Hi I'm Michelle! I'm a Systems Designer which mostly means I design a lot of the things that let you do stuff in games! Sometimes it's combat, sometimes it's throwing pies, sometimes it's cooking!

I'm looking for work still so please let me know if you need systems help!

Heyo #WhatAGameDevLooksLike ~ I'm Domini, aka Sleepy.

I've worked in AAA/indie spaces, and I'm a writer for my point-and-click visual novel Camera Anima and (coming soon) Aether&Iron. I'm not at GDC, but enjoying the posts about it

I love steampunk, tea, and bunnies

Considering the amount of merch I have, and how I'm still longingly eyeing the Kanto Park Eevee Plushies, I think that says a lot about who the fav is...

It’s okay to say no, even if you don’t have any gigs. It’s okay to have ‘nothing’, no gigs is better than being sick. Because that’s what exploitative contracts do to you. That is the invisible and sometimes, delayed cost of accepting bad contracts. They make you sick, mentally and financially. You might not realize it in the moment, but when it does it hit, it’ll be a quick and heavy hit. Being burnout and sick doesn’t just affect you, it affects those around you as well.

Im genuinely proud of this weeks newsletter. Yes it's about 'how to get gigs as a freelancer' but theres a vulnerability and transparency that was cathartic to write.

Here's an excerpt

It's unabashedly queer & made by a small, diverse team.
