@foxydonuts same, the themes it explores means more to me now 10 years later. Really glad it resonated with you ❤️

Thinking about Firewatch makes me feel so much. We poured so much of ourselves into it. It is funny how 10 years later I understand Henry and Delilah more than when I had a part in creating the world in which they existed. Life makes us all into a bit of Henry and a bit of Delilah #gamedev

It’s almost been 10 yrs since we started making Firewatch. I listened to an album I had on repeat for the early months of the project and it instantly brought me back to that chair above Bobby’s woodshop, when I immersed myself in pictures of Wyoming and bathed in feelings of solitude and loss #gamedev

Look it’s me a Gardens Jane 🌳☺️#gamedev

@bburbank was it extra cool IN the storm?! 😅

@AnnaAnthro I’ll let you know!! I just randomly watched Sunshine by my Side on IQIYI (it just aired) and liked that too, modern slice of life genre which i don’t normally watch

Holy cow an actual thunderstorm with lightning in #seattle ⛈️

(For the US) You can now order more free covid tests again as of today: https://special.usps.com/testkits

@AnnaAnthro oh this isn’t on my list somehow! Will have to check it out

@idlemurmurs the whole table fits quite a few kids! It’s super well done

@ifixcoinops yeah I have only heard about these kind of applications and this one was so well done it completely blew my mind , I was just as excited as the kids!!

@macjustice yeah we somehow only made it there THIS year and we have been twice and still each time I find a whole new thing that blows my mind. Staff is super quick on addressing “stuck packages” too 🤣

Really cool interactive play setup at the Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett, WA (30min north of #seattle) with overhead projector + I assume some depth camera that reacts to what the kids are doing with kinetic sand underneath! When you make a mountain it can turn into a volcano and the lava flow reacts to how you sculpt the sand #museum feels like tactile #videogames

I’m always happy to chat privately about the places I have worked. #gamedev jobs are extremely about fit. What works for person A might not for Person B, what’s person A’s cake can be person B’s poison. Anyway, just making it a note here so feel free to ping me if your own network isn’t giving you that insight

@aras thanks Aras!

Started a new #gamedev job today as Operations Director at Gardens 🌳☺️ https://gardens.dev

#introduction: Hello! I've been a #gamedev for over 20yrs. I was a Environment Artist for much of it but have recently made the switch to be Operations Director @ Gardens

Preciously I was at Possibility Space as the Visual Director; and Valve, where I worked on Half-Life: Alyx and Steam. I'm probably most known for my work on #Firewatch tho at Campo Santo.

These days, I'm interested in creative management, and incorporating meaningful #DEI work in my job. Some old #gameart related work here:

“The new ‘inverse vaccine’ removes the immune system’s memory of one molecule. While such immune memory erasure would be unwanted for infectious diseases, it can stop autoimmune reactions like those seen in multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn’s disease, in which the immune system attacks a person’s healthy tissues.”
