That’s a wrap for #GDC 2025. It’s been a good one with a nice mix of meeting ppl old and new, plus some great talks. It’s inspiring to see how ppl are raising the bar on sound and music in games. Plus I had the honour of being dubbed a fashion icon! Who would have thought 😅

Gamedevs, post your first shipped game and your latest shipped game. If you thought you had enough of the colour yellow during Cyberpunk 2077’s launch campaign, I’ve been living with it my whole career ;)

Super exciting thing for me at the moment: I’m preparing the score for my first orchestral recording. Needs a lot of work before it’s ready to be given to players but I’ve got a bunch of cool ppl guiding me 💪 Orchestras normally have 9 violin sections right?

Incredible talk by Hind Toufga at #gqf2023: games gave her a portal to another world as a young woman growing up in Libya, taught her skills and even helped her during the war when she became wanted and had to flee the country. Thankyou for sharing your story!
