One of the most rewarding aspects of making games?
Getting letters about how your games got them through tough times, or brought their friends and family together when they were apart.
Making things that can do that?
Magical.

Voyagers of Nera | Official Early Access Trailer
First game I've been credited on in like... a decade (due to working on Live Service titles) launched this morning at 6 AM Local. Around 7AM, we have almost 10k people watching on Twitch.
All this is so surreal to me. Voyagers of Nera is now live in Early Access.

Today in the Game Industry Coffee Chat:
When bucking trends can literally cost you support and money. How this leads to developers buying into technologies, features, strategies, and even political statements that they don't actually agree with for the sake of keeping an income.

- Improve your odds of not being laid off in the first place? How to prepare in case you are.

Today's discussion centers around the theme of "ego".
The industry has a lot of big egos - some from earned success and history, most which are completely unearned.
How do you deal with ego: from your managers, your reports, applicants, yourself.
