Something Wicked Games Layoffs

 Hi Folks,

Yeah unfortunately Something Wicked Games laid off most of the company including myself.  They're calling it a temporary layoff which means they could call us back.  It also means I technically have to resign if I find a new job.  In reality it's a way for then to not pay reverence and still lay people off.

I do hope they find a publisher however.  SWG was a great team and I enjoyed working with them.  So I wish them luck in locking down a publisher to get that project back on track.

In the meantime I'm going to start looking for my new gig.  The industry is in quite a state at the moment so this could be a challenge.  We shall see.

Squanch Games Cuts Ties With Justin Roiland

 Squanch Games shared this message today. 

It's a sad situation for the team who worked hard and made a successful game, but will now suffer from their association to him. I enjoyed the one year I contracted with the team at Squanch. They are a great group that deserves success. I hope they can recover from this.

Adult Swim also announced cutting ties with Roiland, buit will continue Rick and Morty with a new voice actor.

Accepted a Design role at Something Wicked Games

I'm happy yo announce I've accepted a Senior Level Design role a Something Wicked Games!  

Something Wicked is a new company created by industry veterans that have brought us games like Fallout 3 & 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.  These are many of the games I love so I'm very excited to be a part of their upcoming project Wyrdsong.

Wyrdsong has just started development so there isn't much I can say but I can show you some teasers that have been made public.

They've also released some equally moody concept art.

Squanch Games Reveals High On Life

 Hey everyone.  As you may know Squanch Games is a company lead by Rick & Morty creator Justin Roiland.  They finally revealed the title I was working on with them in 2020.  It's called High On Life about an alien cartel that is selling humans as drugs for aliens.  So you and some talking guns team up to take them down.  

Looking at the trailer I see some familiar things and also some great new stuff!  Hope they don't forget about me in the credits, but seriously Squanch was a fun group of people.  Glad to see the game is alive and doing well.  Can't wait to play it.  

Check out the trailer!

Farcry 6 Shipped Today!

Since I left the project before it finished I wasn't sure if they would credit me or not. It appears that I did make the credits however.

While I was there I was the game designer and my main focus was on the new Outpost system. I'm not familiar with the shipped version but the version I was working on was each Outpost had an objective which players could choose to got for or not for bonus rewards.  So if you wanted to get the objective you might need to sneak in stealthy or use only explosives, etc.  But if you wanted to do the old kill everyone to concur an outpost you could do that too.  But not sure what shipped.

Anyway, congratz to the team and I guess to myself.  haha
