I keep seeing arguments for games being expensive due to hyper realistic expectations for art, or simply lots of art. What I don’t see is the actual most costly reason: Indecision Iteration is good, but the yearly rebuilding of entire characters, storylines, and levels, is the most expensive thing

I finally just disabled it as an audio device in the sound control panel, I’ve never cared for audio coming out of the controller anyway lol

Vince was an incredible force for good in our industry. I will never forget the time he made for us as individuals, myself included. He will be dearly missed. I can’t believe he’s gone.

HD 600 are currently on sale for $300 and are my favorite in that price range. I have worn them comfortably almost everyday, with glasses, for the past 6 years. (If helpful, the Massdrop X Sennheiser HD 6XX are $200. I have not personally tested them though.)

Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!

The DLC is really special. The base game was a little rough around the edges at launch, but still showed so much promise. Overture shows their growth as a team, as well their continued sense of creativity, especially in weapon and systems design. I hope you enjoy it!

Kory McMaster @korymcmaster.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

When I hear “Music Designer”, I anticipate a more holistic set of responsibilities. They should be aiming to meet the expectations of a Sound Designer, including editing, baseline implementation skills, pre-mix, etc. Depending on seniority and team size, this can include systems design.

Kory McMaster @korymcmaster.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Subjective, but I’ve seen Implementation / Integration used interchangeably to mean “get music assets into the game”. Sometimes that just means middleware, other times it’s holistic. It usually includes some music editing responsibilities but not always.

This video really resonated with me, a reminder to prioritize your emotional and physical health when designing an audio workspace (TLDR: You can probably make that window work, and the pros usually outweigh the cons) youtu.be/2sM_02BV7Z0?...

This was so cool dude, Amethyst Star in particular resonated with me, really emotive / intriguing (Might just be my headspace right now with, well, the world, but it felt somewhat cathartic)

Unfortunately, something I experienced after we launched Jedi. 😂 On my mind because of a more recent release. Criticism is great, essential even. Just be specific, and preferably understanding of the process of creating something in a collaborative setting.

Good: “This didn’t resonate with me.”, etc. Bad: “Dude, this thing you worked on SUCKED…” “Ok” “…like, just AWFUL dude…” “Ok.” “…like, why would anyone ever make this?” “OK!”

• Normalize not enjoying art / entertainment your friends have worked on. • Balance that by not being a jerk about it.

I’m so sorry, Megan. I can’t imagine what you are going through. This industry is so much brighter with you (and Ramona) in it. If you ever had to leave it, that only speaks to their failure. You deserve to be here.
