Fewer things make me more hype about this thing than your music pouring out of it. I'm excited about even more human ears finding their way to you.

Developers! This heuristics student reached out to me looking for practical experience in the summer of 2021. He ended up conducting a Bounty Star playtest/focus group and absolutely killed it. If you need or know someone who needs this hit him up! https://t.co/LDTwSyYmjg

Feels unlikely but you miss 100% of the Mephisto’s Pacts you don’t shoot.

Bounty Star's environment art was established and constructed by @Zerdex who is himself hyper talented but moved on from the project to do their own cool things. Big big shout/outs

I made the prototype of Bounty Star in 6 months with a hyper talented and cool engineer that isn't on twitter or else I would have tagged her. :(

.@bartsimon @Felantron & I wrote an article about the extra, invisible, unwaged & gendered work done by creatives when they leave large studios and "go indie". @FacultiNet created a 20min explainer of the "missing producer" paper for those who don't read aca papers for funsies!

Hey folks - we've got a very cool (and very different) game looking for a contract character concept artist. This person would be defining the look/style for all the main characters. Interested? Hop into the DM with portfolio links plz. #gamejobs

Are you or do you know a character rigger looking for some work? I've got a nice handful of characters that need to be skinned to the Mixamo skeleton and MotionBuilder will do the rest. Email me up at Ben -at - dinogod if you're interested. Thanks!

Do you know a shit hot character/beast animator? I got a bag of money to throw at one who wants to spend at least 6 full time months on an action game. If they can use/learn MotionBuilder and can rig then bonus.

If you're still tabletopping (hopefully remotely/safely) then check out this MASSIVE pile of super high quality D&D map from an artist trying to pay their bills. It's very very good stuff and it covers a LOT of bases.
