After many years of NDA.... I'm proud to announce I FINALLY HAVE A PUBLIC PORTFOLIO!! I'm still looking for work, so please check it out, share, throw it at your studio leadership etc. Thanks for the support ❤️ nataliespitzel.myportfolio.com

Hey all! I'm looking for an expert on community building and management who can provide me with some consultancy. Paid. I'm specifically looking for someone with the know-how to grow a community for narrative thriller/horror game titles.

today on things my 14-year-old self would find absolutely surreal: the local cafe playing songs from an animated show about k-pop stars

the “Play for Peace - Games for Palestine 2025 Charity Bundle” needs as much support as it can get right now. it’s halfway there with just 2 days to go! itch.io/b/2979/play-... please share and spread the word.

One issue generally overlooked in the whole screenwriter vs gamewriter, discussion is time. Beyond anything to do with training, ability, style etc is the amount of time screenwriters get to invest in a script. Whilst there are time pressures on any writer, the vast amounts of script that- 1/9

late to the party but you GET TO PLAY AS A DITTO???

Congrats to Dan Gilroy for winning Best Writing in a Drama Series for Andor!

My game, Beyond Sunset, is made on the GZDoom game engine, a modern port of the classic Doom engine. We originally used the engine's support for Strife: Quest for the Sigill to power our character interactions, but eventually replaced it with our own JSON-based dialogue trees with a graphical editor

more middle aged women in games, please

gotta bring this classic over here

You are a proper gamer if you play on ultimate difficulty. You are a proper gamer if you play on hard, medium, easy, super easy, or anything else. You are a <proper> gamer if you love games, gaming and game devs. Or if you only like them a bit. Gaming your own way is the proper way to do it.

A message from the Young Horses team

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

surprise i just dropped a new article! i had a lot of thoughts about how people don't know how to engage with fiction, which ties into chatgpt delusion & book bans among other things. big thanks to @cxorlando.bsky.social for telling me to write about it when i posted a throwaway insta story

unemployment sucks, but what gets to me most is barely having time for passion projects - instead I drown in cover letters and portfolio-appropriate stuff

Are you a game developer who, when faced with the prospect of making layoffs, found another way forward for their studio instead? If so, I'd love to speak to you for GamesIndustry.Biz. We're working on an article with the working title, 'You don't always have to make people redundant'. Get in touch!

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

vibe for the week

hmm, perhaps this is a naive take but wouldn't these games target different audiences?

wait did I really never post this one

"By far the biggest expense when making games is salaries." Whose salaries?

I'm so curious about where they think an LLM would get this info - like do they think it plays the game? or why else not just read the IGN guide it inevitably copied?

I Don’t Want To Do This Anymore #art

finally got around to watching Andor and oh my, it's heavy on the anti-fascism. I imagine someone in the writer's room going "there'll be NO missing the memo this time, crank it binches!!"

“How do I know,” she said at last, “that you are what you seem to be?” “You don't,” Said he. “I don't know what I seem, to you.”
