A cute watercolor illustration painted by Alissa Staples. A rabbit wearing a wizard robe holds a wand with a star, and is floating in the air with pink wings. Two guinea pigs also have pink wings and are flying next to the rabbit, surrounded by a sparkly, pink and purple cloud. The guinea pigs' owner, a young boy, reaches up at them from below. The boy and one of the guinea pigs has a surprised, concerned expression, while the rabbit and the other guinea pig are laughing.

In a dark, dusty library full of cobwebs, a little ghost just stumbled upon a book on the shelves. What the ghost doesn’t realize is that Dracula’s portrait on the wall has come to life around the corner. What’s going to happen next? Will the black cat give the tiny ghost a heads-up about it?

It's a busy ice cream shop where animals love to hang out on sunny days. A bear and a pig are serving ice cream to a fox mother and her baby, while a little badger with a tiny backpack checks out at the register with a sheep clerk. Nearby, a grandpa monkey is enjoying his ice cream when he notices his grandkids trying to sneak a taste. Outside, a rabbit and a little dog are peering through the window, wishing they could have a scoop of their own.

wild to just throw away 21 years of experience. what a needless waste

This morning, after 21 years at Obsidian Entertainment, my journey with the studio came to an end.
While this wasn't the outcome I hoped for, I can't help but feel incredibly grateful for the time I spent there.
Obsidian wasn't just a workplace, it was where I built a career, formed lasting friendships, and had the opportunity to work alongside some of the most talented and passionate people in the industry.
We are clearly at a turning point in the games industry.
These past months have been difficult for so many talented people, and unfortunately, it seems the challenges aren't over yet.
Right now, I'm going to take some time to reflect, process this change, and figure out what's next. But when I'm ready, I will be looking for new opportunities. If you know of any roles or leads that might be a fit, I'd be grateful if you would reach out or share them.
To everyone across the Obsidan and Xbox family and throughout the industry who has been affected by these layoffs, my heart truly goes out to you. Wishing all of us strength, resilience, and hopefully exciting new opportunities ahead.
Thank you, Obsidian, for an unforgettable 21 years.
