Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

the answer to "why is this game in development hell" is nearly always Churn
Employee churn (people leave constantly bc of poor pay/work env)
Direction churn (people unsure / disagree what they are making)
Production churn (leadership throws out work bc they can't communicate well/change their mind)

πŸ₯³ It's been exactly 1 year since we released "Dungeons of Hinterberg"! πŸ₯³
Since then we added:
- New Game +
- A free DLC with 7 mini-dungeons
- Costumes & gear visuals
- Photo Mode filters, frames and poses
- Tons of quality of life updates
Time to replay the game?

Obsidian Publish Obsidian Publish is the easiest way to publish your wiki, knowledge base, documentation, or digital garden.

I don't know how 'pretty' you can make it, I'd still suggest Obsidian publish though obsidian.md/publish

we solved placeholder text years ago with Lorem Ipsum in a shittier version of Windows so I fail to see why you’re willing to melt down the climate just so you can have harder to QA placeholder text in your videogame

so i wanted to prevent my PCG system's foliage from populating on steep edges, and it was so easy to figure out!
i decided to fill those empty spaces with dandelion seeds... isn't it perfect? it looks like these fuzzy spores just kind of gathered at the base of cliffs, and stayed there. #GameDev
