So this is based of a subset of people who could afford to even attend GDC in the past and bothered to answer. There is a class system within games with a small number with high incomes and the rest of us who are shocked when we see numbers like this and struggling to find any work.

Celebrating the Possessor(s) team πŸ–€ | Notion I am not one to post like this usually, but as things have developed recently, I want to take a minute and get some stuff off my chest.

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.

I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

Hi Friends!

Here is a collection of animation work that I did for Heart Machine's Hyper Light Breaker. All animation is keyframed in Maya and implemented in Unreal Engine 4. ❀️

Thank you very much for your time and interest!

Hi everyone... So this happened a bit sooner than I had originally anticipated. I am actively looking for work (along with so many others in this industry πŸ’ͺπŸ˜”πŸ€˜).

My heart is heavy & I might have more to say on that later, but I've got news today that my time at Heart Machine will come to an end after POSSESSOR(S) ships.

I'm honestly too busy... literally shipping the game to start actively looking for work, but I'll be looking for my next gig in December. πŸ₯²

Hi friends. Unfortunately, my time at Heart Machine is coming to an end. I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. Saying goodbye to such a talented team is difficult, but I am excited for the next adventure. <3

I'll have more info soon.

Thanks everyone. Stay strong out there.
