❤️ With the myriad of rejections, both with great feedback or none at all - its hard to keep pushing. But i will - even if its okay to slow down a bit.

Matthew S | Games Producer & Mental Health First Aider @mattymcsteve.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Oof place I had an interview for just sent me a rejection email. Don't get me wrong I am not giving up at all, still stings though. Lots of really awesome producers out there looking for a job, I hope we can all get one soon!

Very tough and competitive in the games production market at the moment. While its very disheartening to be rejected, I've gotta keep going. I know i can do what's being asked and so far a lot of whats been happening to me is of circumstances beyond my control. I WILL GET A ROLE!

Matthew S | Games Producer & Mental Health First Aider @mattymcsteve.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Okay so - the #dinosaur game has a new approach, and I need suggestions! I want to represent the UK for our prototype, so what formation do you think would be the best to explore and see some dinosaurs? 1) Weald Clay Formation 2) Wessex Formation let me know below! #PaleoArt #Gamedev #Dinosaurs

Thought id put a post in here saying i'm looking for new roles again! unfortunately joined the new studio at the wrong time, meaning my job got cut. I'll be actively posting more after this week, I've had two very huge medical emergencies this week, so i've been focusing on that.

Very sad to hear that WASD is over. Back in the meteorite media days, it was the first time I'd ever showcased a game with Tranzfuser. People really loved Apollo and Kayas Game. It's a shame we couldn't get it off the ground but I learned so much about game biz dev.

Matthew S | Games Producer & Mental Health First Aider @mattymcsteve.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

okay so, posting a lil update on my work situation I've been offered a role that i'm intending to accept this Friday! It's in something games adjacent (VR and XR projects) but still a producer role and it pays good! More to come :D

A staggering report about class in the UK games industry - just 13% are "from lower socioeconomic backgrounds", making it "roughly a third less inclusive than the wider country". This is compared to 29% in film/TV, 32% in design/fashion, and 22% in music. More from @georgeosborn.bsky.social here:

In December I went to Norway to go see the last bit of visible magic left - the northern lights. Safe to say the ancestors put on a show! I love the mythical and spiritual side of the lights, seeing them dance across the sky was truly incredible. I hope Dad saw me up there - miss you old man ❤️
