I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

Amnesty International released a statement yesterday saying that Israel's genocide in Gaza is still ongoing despite the ceasefire, a calculated move "to bring about their physical destruction, without signalling any change in their intent"

But this is the real concern for the West and its allies.

The Terrible Layoff Beast has come for me and I no longer work for Heart Machine. It was a good team, I'm sad I won't get to work with them anymore.

If you're looking for a game designer, I'm available for full time gigs and consulting. I'm pretty OK at it.

I'll have more info to share in a bit.

After 7.5 years, my time making music & sound at @heartmachine.bsky.social is ending w/ the recent layoffs.

I'd love to keep pushing boundaries -- please reach out if you think I can help solve your audio problems, especially if you're doing something artistically wild.

RTs appreciated 🙏

My time at Heart Machine has sadly come to a rather abrupt end. I was there for almost 6 years, & had been working on Breaker since summer 2020. It was a pleasure working with them!

Now, a new chapter begins.

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. 🥲

I just wanted to post, I'm laid off. Just shouting into the void of the internet! It was a beautiful and wonderful team of people to work with at HM.

Hey friends - my time at Heart Machine is ending after nearly 6 years. It’s difficult to say goodbye to a studio that has seen so much growth in myself and others.

If you know of any studios hiring for audio lead or senior roles, please send them my way. DMs are open!

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Arachnophobes beware 🕷️ This spider’s got some nasty new attacks, and if all else fails, he’ll spin to win. These were a blast to animate and are gonna feel nasty in-game. #animation #indiedev #gamedev #fgc
