Concerts are getting increasingly strange.

Godspeed to those that dare to dream.

Due to redundancies I am now looking for work! I have 5 years of experience as a 3d artist. I am primarily looking for full time positions in studio or remote but open to other options. Any reposts are appreciated! 🙏 Portfolio: www.artstation.com/jomperr Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/perssonjo...

The Funcom layoffs hurt more because those were my old stomping grounds. That’s where I started 20 years ago. The whole fucking industry is slowly sliding into the sea.

Bye for now, Karlstad.

”You may be a fit for Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Head of Research and Development role.” Thank you, LinkedIn. I can probably teach Thermo Fisher plenty about core loops and stealth mechanics. Brilliant.

waking up every day in 2025

Thinking about the Cave of Hands, some of the art dating back to 7,300BC, where 25% of the hand prints are thought to be that of children. Imagining those people gently holding their child up to the cave walls, and using their tiny little hands as a stencil. Art = love = the human soul

Does anyone have any insight into the level of ageism in the games industry? Is it a thing? How does it express itself?

AAA continues its slow transformation into a dull ogre.

Unfortunately I've been affected by the Xbox layoffs as well as numerous of my talented colleagues. I'm sad our hard work on Perfect Dark may be lost in the dark. I'm in the market for senior concept artist, lead concept artist and Art Director roles!

I hope the industry’s interest in creative risk-taking gets reignited. Franchises dominate AAA now with old ideas reheated and served again. Games were always about the new for me – new worlds to explore, new ways of playing to discover, new stories to experience. As a player and as a designer.

I’ve always been very optimistic about the future of the games industry, but at this point… serious doubt is creeping in.

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.
