I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

It's #PortfolioDay again and I'm urgently looking for remote work in game writing/narrative design‼️

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.

This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.

So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

Boosting again, please share! Still looking for writing work-- full time or contract, i'm incredibly adaptable and eager to learn and grow ✍️

The title for Malys in an inky red on a black background, below are the words: V1.0 releasing this October.

It's time... the candles are lit... 🕯️

Our exorcism roguelite Malys is coming OUT of Early Access into 1.0 on the 24th of October!

There's so much more to discover, including the FULL story as penned by David Gaider, more demons, more cards, and more content.

Promotional graphic with a purple and blue fantasy-themed background and crystal-like formations. The image features two logos: the Wizards of the Coast logo in rainbow gradient colors on the left, and the Trans Lifeline logo in white on the right. Large bold text in the center reads: “Support Trans Lifeline.” Below, smaller text says “Tune in Oct 4” next to the Twitch logo.

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community.

Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

Reposting without comment except: I refute that we made a bad or compromised game. We made the best version of what we released, warts and all. I'm damn proud of it and the team. We couldn't have made a _better_ Dragon Age, only a _different_ one.

We are excited to announce The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a new sci-fi action RPG based on The Expanse. Become a captain of the most advanced ship in the universe, gather a crew, and challenge one of the most powerful enemies humankind has ever faced. Watch the trailer:

Hearing the Black Panther game getting canceled is heart breaking. The stuff they were trying to do with narrative systems design especially sounded so groundbreaking, wish they were given that shot.

Heart goes out to all the folks on that team <3

Watching the playoffs nonstop while also seeing our young guys absolutely demolish in Worlds and knowing we’ve got a big UFA signing coming 🥲

The future is bright

I'll say more later, but I no longer have a job. I'm looking for work, as are *so* many of my amazing colleagues. I have lots of ideas and things I'd like to write. I'm really in shock.

No, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wasn't "made" by 30 people Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's credits are a lot bigger than "30 developers".

Food for thought. External QA, animators, voice actors, and musicians deserve to be part of the narrative of game makers.

Yea I’ve been so confused by this point. Like…Metaphor was literally nominated for GotY LAST YEAR lmao

Bix and Mon Mothma just going THROUGH it, my god…

SO good. Was blown away at each episodes unique spin on the style
