#PortfolioDay Here's some of the major things I worked on while at Epic. I handled QA for seasonal content, including the Music Pass redesign for S7. Also tested and offered design assistance for the quests around the Festival concert events. Currently looking for design or QA work! gregmakes.com

Been over 3 months now post Epic layoffs, and its certainly been a tough week. Applied to some promising job openings that I feel super suited for, so here's hoping 🤞

While this super sucks, I'm happy that I was given the chance to change many lives with this game. I'm hopeful I can bounce back, but it's still a pretty miserable morning. On that note, anyone in Seattle need a QA guy? I also make rly good cuban coffee

💔DEATH OF THE HEART💔 second vinyl pressing now available for *preorder* If you missed the window for the first pressing, you can grab this SMOKE RED VARIANT (lowkey might be my favorite 👀) GO PICK IT THE F#%K UP!!!! www.badtimerecords.com/collections/...

Graphic of JER sitting on a staircase, they’re in color while the background is black and white. Their leg extends out to a solid black bar to the left of the image that says second pressing. Between them and that is the smoke red vinyl halfway out of the vinyl. Above them is the word mark for the record death of the heart. Below them is a wow bubble that says “out now via bad time records” in it and at the bottom is a link that says www.badtimerecords.com

My most old man take is that I think using apps and qr codes as a concert ticket sucks. I miss physical tickets. I'd like a physical piece to remember the show that isn't crazy expensive merch

Hit my three year anniversary at Epic. Not bad for my first industry gig. Went from testing those reality saplings to being a big deal in season content for Festival. Here's to many more years!

A board with commemorative pins given to employees at Epic Games for each seasonal release. Includes each season from ch3s3 up to ch6s2, as well as the first 7 seasons of Festival.

The funny thing about Miku is that she's just, like, a vst. So, if we willed it, this guy can be a virtual idol with a multitude of games and media and a possible FN collab

That awkward moment at the con indie dev party where you met the person that made that game that's been on your backlog for months and now you gotta lie to their face about how much you've enjoyed (you must likely will enjoy it, but you've now dug yourself into this hole)

Just finished #GreatGodGrove in one sitting, and it was a fun experience. I loved the various messages it shared on life, love, and art. The gameplay and humor reminded me of the adventure games I grew up with. A solid 6-8 hr experience that is worth pouring into.

The card collabs are cool, but what Balatro rly needs now is music collabs. Get that ska cover from Dom and Jer. Get that orchestrated arrangement from TGAs. Get all the sick indie composers on there! Lena Raine, 2Mello, Darren Korb, etc, and all them YouTube metal dudes like LilVMills and RichaadEB
