My favorite quote from this wonderful panel full of great quotes and wisdom: “Find a different hole to fall into every time." - Dr. JC Lau

Looking forward to reuniting with my fellow GDC panelists @ninfadp.bsky.social @drjclau.bsky.social @osamadorias.bsky.social to talk about unusual paths into and through the games industry during the @gamerella.bsky.social game jam! www.linkedin.com/posts/gamere...

I'll be hosting the roundtable "Working With Publishers: Conversation and Retrospective" at SLICE on August 27! Hoping to have some meaningful convos with folks about what a healthy relationship can look like between publishers and studios/devs.

Gonna start off the week with a wild shot, but hey, @samreich.bsky.social and @dropout.tv, if you're interested in publishing an indie video game...hit me up!

Received my copy of @victoriatran.bsky.social new book! I'm not a CM but I think being generally knowledgeable about the other disciplines can only help a producer.

9. Killer Instinct (2013): "Village of Whispers" (feat. @meowriko.bsky.social!) Back in 2015, @zettosenshi.bsky.social was like "I know you don't do fighting games but you've GOTTA listen to this one," and now I can say I worked on KI 2013's anniversary edition! Great game, amazing community.

Hope to see some of you at PAX West! I'll be leading a producer panel with some truly incredible folks. west.paxsite.com/en-us/schedu...

he has an MBA (derogatory)

It's all fun and games until it has to be fun and a game

I'm feeling proud of my back muscles ok 😤

I think I'm hitting year 12 working in games this summer. Decided to skip GDC this year, but this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Had a dream I went to GDC and there was a whole cookout with devs showcasing their best meat dish. So maybe this is something we need to make happen in the future.

Getting 2 tattoos this year 🥹

Can't believe THIS grew up to be THIS

Four games I've worked on

I could never.

Went to a non-traditional sushi place. Some really interesting things in their omakase: - Hokkaido scallop with yuzu foam served on a salt block - Walu Hawaiian white tuna with a sprinkling of pop rocks - (sea bream?) carpaccio with potato chips and melon - tuna tataki with sesame oil powder

Just an update that I did my speaking engagements even if by the skin of my teeth 💪

Well internet I tried a tiny bit to do a costume. #perrin #pokemon #halloween

New hair! Inspired by Perrin from Pokemon. Couldn't get the tips as light (blue refused to be bleached out). But good enough for a casual Halloween costume. 💙🩵

Got my copy in the mail! Makes me a little nostalgic for LA and Sawtelle (aka Little Osaka). "Giant Robot 30 Years of Defining Asian American Pop Culture"

With the revival of bsky I think it's time for me to start re-engaging. I laid low for quite a while after a scare with a stalker. I think things are ok now. So here I am tentatively dipping my toes back in. I'm Erika, a senior producer who has worked in the games industry for 11 years. 👋🏼

I've agreed to two different speaking things this month and now I need to stop procrastinating and make slides. I didn't account for the fact that I'm old and tired. 😌

FYI Glassdoor may expose your name now. I'm prob just gonna delete my account tbh. help.glassdoor.com/s/privacyreq...

Here's some stuff I am doing at #PAXWest this year! First up, come by Oriole at 12 on Saturday when @megamasao.bsky.social will get @meowriko.bsky.social, Evan and I talking about #gamedev production, skillsets, and what we actually do at work (spoiler: it's not just calendars and spreadsheets):

Lets get more specific with this; If you're a #GameDev Producer, reply with who you are and what you do, and then share along! I wanna know where my fellow Producers are at =D

Oni says you may not work until he is perceived.
