Welcome! New Site, and Co-op adventures

Hi! Lots of changes recently that I think warranted me setting up a “real website”, so I went ahead and did that.

Recently I:

• Left my job as an Encounter Designer on World of Warcraft at Blizzard Entertainment! It was an amazing experience and I learned an incredible amount from the other great folks there, and loved my team, but I have new experiences and ideas I needed to explore.

• Started working with the Orange County chapter of Game Workers Unite. We’re working on organizing workers in the game industry to deal with several pervasive issues of work conditions, underpay, crunch, and more.

• Started taking steps to establish a new, worker-owned and controlled game development studio. Progress is, as might be expected, somewhat slow on that front, but I am excited to move forward and have been chatting with some folks who seem interested in the idea. I also started Co-op Mode, a discord server for folks interested in exploring the idea of worker-owned co-operative game development studios.

• I also recently appeared on an episode of very cool leftist gaming podcast No Cartridge! Go and listen! And support them on their Patreon!

Anyways, if you’ve come by, thanks for coming by! You can check out the About Me section for my portfolio and a timeline of my career if you’re interested to learn more, and you can always see my latest ramblings on my Twitter. Welcome!
