We are delighted to be part of #GDX2025 this summer! With so many great new and returning devs, we can't wait to see what everyone has in store for July!

AI generated content in games just ruins the fun of making games. Do you know how many people love to make generic items like crates and boxes? Tons! Ask any asset creator and they will tell you all about the tiny little details they lovingly create for those assets.

Don't take jobs away from them!

Alberta’s game industry is about building a future where local creators can thrive. Events like GDX aren’t just showcases, they’re infrastructure that connects real talent with real opportunities.

We’re here to build lasting impact, not chase quick wins.

A promotional graphic for the Game Discovery Exhibition (GDX) 2025. The GDX logo is at the top left, with "Game Discovery Exhibition" written below. The main text reads: "Exhibitor Applications Now Open," followed by the event dates "July 18-27, 2025," and "125K+ Exhibition Attendees." A banner on the right highlights "Limited # of Free Indie Booths." Below, a call to action says: "Join North America’s largest indie games festival in Edmonton, Alberta!"

Looking back at GDX2024 here in #yeg
What a great opportunity to show B10CK off to a whole bunch of new players.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities.
I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy.

Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

So, my time at BioWare has ended. It was a wild ride with some fantastic people, but it’s time to look for new challenges. I’m an Editor / Writer with 26+ years of experience across video games, novels, short stories, newspapers, and marketing comms. If you know of a good fit, please let me know.

BioWare Studio Update Hello Everyone, Today, we are turning towards the future and preparing for the next chapter in BioWare’s story. As we announced in August 2023, we are changing how we build games to meet the needs …

Damn, just terrible to all the staff impacted
blog.bioware.com/2025/01/29/b...

So yeah if you need a Systems Designer with 10+ years of experience please let me know. I'm looking for Remote or Seattle Area, Full Time (ideally) but, can do contract.

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

BioWare just had some major layoff please support those you can and help them land on their feet.

I know the company I work for is hiring so please DM and I'll point you in the right direction if I can.

I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.

Looks like my time at BioWare is over.

I am devastated, I loved my job and coworkers. I had so many new ideas...

Not sure what's next tbh. 😔

Squeaky Clean by Catherine Bevan Survive as long as you can by drawing shapes to pop bubbles and catch their contents in this fast-paced minigame

Here's the little game I helped make last weekend at the Global Game Jam. I made many of the sfx, in case you're curious, and the amazing Catherine Bevan did the programming.

Bubble Time by Gregory Blomquist Whacky and whimsical mini-game anthology

Goblins basic rules by Drew_Makes_Games Bare minimum rules for Goblins vs The World

I'm just going to do it. Rip off the band aid. Let me know if it's not terrible. This is goblins distilled down to 2 pages. The rest of the rules and explanations are getting cleaned up now. #ttrpg #indiettrpg

Painted a Lich miniature threw a light in it... and now I have my favorite Mini I've ever painted!

If you are interested in a YEG local TTRPG check out Traverse. It is quite the rich and complex scifi game. If you like crunchy numbers and lots of character customization give it a spin. Sign up for the closed Beta and give the developers some feedback.
