I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all. I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn. Please, share this. 🖤

It's that time again, folks. I have been told I will be let go from Heart Machine next week. The people there have been amazing friends and coworkers and anyone else who has been affected deserves all the love and support. I will be updating my portfolio soon; any Env Art leads would be appreciated

Shoutout to Len White, my friend & mentor during the run of development for Breaker leading up to early access release, who carried this talk with his charm & expertise & who is also blissfully non-present from most of social media including Bluesky.

The talk I co-delivered at #EverythingProcecduralConference earlier this year is up on YouTube, lots of neato details on the stuff we did for #procgen in #HyperLightBreaker at @heartmachine.bsky.social youtu.be/AWzepoestQ4?...

I think @heartmachine.bsky.social 's Hyperlight Drifter does a great job by having a pixel art animation, you already kinda know what to expect, before seeing any gameplay 🤷 (they also serve as cutscenes in the game) www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWuf...
