Insane fucking update on this LMAO

like clockwork

Forgot to update my bio after my birthday LOL

Blessed are the righteous, the lights in the shadow. In their blood the Maker's will is written. #dragonage

The Dragon Age team at Bioware deserved better than what EA gave them. My heart breaks and I am angry. I love DAV a lot because Ive BEEN aware development was hell. I had hangups, but I know thr team had similar ones too and couldn't do anything about it.

I think if we have standards for games and what we will/won't allow in this community that we throw to the side just because a game happens to have content that panders to you (yes mlm frequently) then you didn't really have standards to begin with.

hello bluesky I hate Twitter #orufrey #wha #Δ帽子

I know fully well I'm so biased bc this is my favorite game of all time but Shadow of the Colossus genuinely NEVER fails to stun me at every turn.

I've been excited to share this piece i got last month with everyone, I had to wait for it to heal up 💙❤️ This quote really hit home for me for so many reasons and ended up being something I used to reflect on myself and my own worth. Does this unit have a soul? I sure hope so.

avowed was really fucking spectacular

HULKING MERCENARY & THE BEAST WITHIN i painted my oc, Fox, in the style of the Disco Elysium portraits (i finished the game in a week. i loved it) [ #oc #dnd #discoelysium ]

Avowed

you tell me !

been enjoying avowed a lot. a LOT.

Ahhhh im so happy/excited to receive these 💜 its a rogue's world. Thank YOU so much for working with me on these!!

It fought through two winter storms and getting lost in the mail (due to winter storm 1) but after a month and some days I finally got this beautiful mousepad in. Thanks to @biowaregear.bsky.social for helping me get a replacement sent. 🌌

Responsibility #art #dragonage

this has been fun and a good way to hold myself accountable to finish my games lol a few of these are WIP but chronic pain has flared up bad again so i'm bouncing around "gentler" titles until my arm is better.

Hey, Caitie. I just wanted to say thank you for this. I'm going to be working on my personal writing while applying for new positions, and hearing that folks also like the stuff I wrote outside of work means a ton to me.

To everyone reaching out to me and my co workers with jobs and offers if help: I adore you all dearly. I'm overwhelmed in a good way for once, it's been pretty dark lately so seeing the good out there means the world to me <3 and honestly that's what Dragon Age is to me: Hope in hopelessness

i will say this - please don't give up on the devs still at bioware. there are some vets from the OT working and leading ME5. they're still here and they need community support now more than ever. if you love ME too, don't give up. fight for them.

so fucked that EA owns Sims, Apex Legends and Dragon Age, one company can just actively trash a bunch of games I like and there's nothing I can do except continue to love them regardless, fuck EA

This is the unfortunate reality with mega publishers like EA and Microsoft - there's one competing reasonably in their markets so they don't care to "take risks" and ruin things because they're not hurting financially regardless.

EA doesnt deserve dragon age, mass effect, or bioware at all

@gamerant.bsky.social trying to make it seem like dragon age was the issue instead of fifa is gross reporting

A lot of people I have worked with for a lot of years have been "released to industry" today. I hope everyone lands on their feet but, like every time, we are going to lose from talent from games forever.

If you were affected by the layoffs at BioWare today, please feel free to reach out to me if I can review or forward a resume, make an introduction, buy you a cup of coffee, shoot things on the internet with you, or recommend you for a position at SIE. All of you are legendary talents.

Apart from my favorite thing being shot in front of my eyes, what is haunting me is the state of things. Dragon Age dying at the same time as my country rockets to fascism doesn't feel like a coincidence.

If you would like to help support Trick Weekes, they wrote a few books you should get! Quoted is the best ways to support, and here are the titles: The Palace Job (2012) The Prophecy Con (2014) The Paladin Caper (2015) Feeder (2018)

no matter what happens - the love and care you put into this franchise, whatever entry/ies you worked on, will never be forgotten or underappreciated. we would not be here today if it weren't for you all. much love, you deserved more. to brighter futures and endless creativity 🍻 #ThankYoUDADevs

Remember this? www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ea-...

Hey folks. As of today, I am no longer with BioWare. However, I am sticking with the wonderful team at Motive Studios for the foreseeable future. Got a fantastic project cooking here. I’ll miss my BW family, but the hope is that I’ll make my way back to ME when the time comes.

To all my fellow devs: I see you and appreciate you. I am grateful for the wonderful work you're doing every day despite the way the industry treats you. I am thankful for the stories you made happen, in so many ways you've been here for me through the most difficult of times. You deserve better!! 🫶

Dragon Age has brought me so much joy and comfort in my darkest times- i could (and might honestly) write so much about it. That I cant reciprocate that feeling to the people that made it- i get so frustrated. Any and all DA devs, you matter. Your work matters- they dont know all you did.

I'm trying really hard not to say a lot of colorful angry words directed at a company that has laid off some of it's best developers that helped shape their studio. Laying off devs without even owning up to it in your announcement is bullshit. I don't know, I'm just so mad.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

So, my time at BioWare has ended. It was a wild ride with some fantastic people, but it’s time to look for new challenges. I’m an Editor / Writer with 26+ years of experience across video games, novels, short stories, newspapers, and marketing comms. If you know of a good fit, please let me know.

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

god FUCKING dammit EA

I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.

the dragon age team deserved so much better. so much better. i'm so sorry.

I was a writer at BioWare for 5 years (2011-2016). I leaned a lot during that time from exceptional folx in many disciplines, but also specifically from my fellow writers & our amazing editors, on both the ME & DA brands. Today, not a single one of those writers & editors remains employed there.
