Role shift today‼️ I’ve been promoted to Lead Mission Designer at Absurd Ventures! After two years seeing the team grow from just over a dozen to where we are now, I've been lucky to work with awesome people and build some great missions!

Yeah, feel free to message me if I can answer anything or help pass you or anyone else along. Those links will tell me if anyone applies so I can also advocate on my end to try to help. Happy to seperately (Absurd-aside) help make any connections 🙏

Hey Steven, really sorry to hear that. Having heard a bit about the team before, I can imagine they are all incredibly talented! At Absurd Ventures we're down the street on the Promenade and have a couple of designer roles at the moment, would love to chat: grnh.se/69f9990a7us grnh.se/e9st56qc7us

Horribly tragic news... throughout my time at IW and since then I've only heard stories of how much Vince has helped people and been such a strong advocate for his teams. Huge loss for the industry of course but also huge loss as a person. Very sorry for your loss, Chet.

Haven't decided if this is ordered or not but I was tired of telling people "X game is probably a top 100 game for me". So, here you go.

GTA 6 is really shaping up! Despite some years of contribution, I'm, more than anything, excited for all of my old coworkers at Rockstar who have all eyes on them to deliver on insane expectations. They nail it every time as I knew they would! Huge congrats to them!! youtu.be/VQRLujxTm3c?...

I guess maybe it's better than it fragmenting in a bunch of ways. Plus it makes the X-Ray cooler. But sheesh, can imagine that didn't feel great 😅

What a snap 😯 Hope it heals up quick

Oh wow haha. That's a super crazy overlap. This is also the second time I've met someone in Baggage claim while returning from GDC who also worked on very similar stuff lmao. First time someone had a similar tagline though 😅

It was an incredible honor and privilege to be a part of the GDC 2025 Level Design Summit and speak this year on open world engagement. Thanks a ton for those who attended! For those who didn't get to, the talk will be available on the GDC vault within a few weeks! #gdc2025 #openworld #leveldesign

Cameron Williams @camwilliamsgd.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Yeah, that's what I'd figure. Cause if I'm playing on a high difficulty, especially using a bar...I don't think I'm focused on using tip toes lol. Plus i'm curious if they still register well without shoes?

Cameron Williams @camwilliamsgd.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Rad! Is it super loud? I've always wanted one but was afraid it wouldn't last in a Los Angeles apartment lol.

Thanks Wes! Much appreciated and hope you're doing great :)

After working on huge IP and sequels for a while, I'm looking forward to going dark for a while and just making some rad stuff with rad people. Thanks to all of those who've been awesome to work with to this point!!

I haven't been a part of something at the conception phase like this in a long time. Getting to not only shape what the game is from a missions perspective but also getting to help form the culture of the studio is a great and exciting challenge. The team is small but growing!

Cameron Williams @camwilliamsgd.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

First day is all done! I've joined @AbsurdVentures to work on missions alongside amazing talent including some of the legendary narrative folks from Red Dead/GTA. It's a new team building a concept from the ground up. I'm super excited and we're hiring! www.absurdventures.com/careers

Today was my last @infinityward.bsky.social! I worked with a highlight team on Co-op. We got away with some crazy stuff on the Raids. Then on SP, I helped set the stage for something awesome that I can't wait for players to see. So many awesome people I will miss! Up next, something new!

Thank you! Call of Duty tries to be for everyone but it totally isn't at the end of the day and super understandable. Especially a year like this one with so many awesome games!
