Warden Marek Cantrell for @megalohdon.bsky.social 🦅⚔️ | #commission #dragonage #greywarden |
painted portrait of a man in his 30s, dressed in full armor. he has strong features— square jaw, strong brow, a large slightly crooked nose— and his green eyes have a softness to them, though the dark circles underneath show a weariness to them. freckles dot his complexion, with three standing prominently from the rest— two on either cheek and one above his lip on his left side.
a faint watermark superimposed on the image reads: "schwoobzilla commission do not use"

The Dragon Age team at Bioware deserved better than what EA gave them. My heart breaks and I am angry. I love DAV a lot because Ive BEEN aware development was hell. I had hangups, but I know thr team had similar ones too and couldn't do anything about it.

I think if we have standards for games and what we will/won't allow in this community that we throw to the side just because a game happens to have content that panders to you (yes mlm frequently) then you didn't really have standards to begin with.

I've been excited to share this piece i got last month with everyone, I had to wait for it to heal up 💙❤️ This quote really hit home for me for so many reasons and ended up being something I used to reflect on myself and my own worth. Does this unit have a soul? I sure hope so.

Avowed
#virtualphotography screenshot from Avowed by Obsidian, showing a scenic countryside vista, the camera looking down on two figures approaching a ramshackle and abandoned house that has a tree growing up through its roof. To the left is a river, and the house is practically slipping away into it. Leading up onwards to the right is a wide winding path snaking under a twisted, gnarled old tree that arches over the path, and in the distance what appear to be old columns, some falling over to the side.

To everyone reaching out to me and my co workers with jobs and offers if help: I adore you all dearly. I'm overwhelmed in a good way for once, it's been pretty dark lately so seeing the good out there means the world to me <3 and honestly that's what Dragon Age is to me: Hope in hopelessness

i will say this - please don't give up on the devs still at bioware. there are some vets from the OT working and leading ME5. they're still here and they need community support now more than ever. if you love ME too, don't give up. fight for them.

This is the unfortunate reality with mega publishers like EA and Microsoft - there's one competing reasonably in their markets so they don't care to "take risks" and ruin things because they're not hurting financially regardless.

A lot of people I have worked with for a lot of years have been "released to industry" today. I hope everyone lands on their feet but, like every time, we are going to lose from talent from games forever.

Apart from my favorite thing being shot in front of my eyes, what is haunting me is the state of things. Dragon Age dying at the same time as my country rockets to fascism doesn't feel like a coincidence.

Hey folks. As of today, I am no longer with BioWare. However, I am sticking with the wonderful team at Motive Studios for the foreseeable future. Got a fantastic project cooking here. I’ll miss my BW family, but the hope is that I’ll make my way back to ME when the time comes.

To all my fellow devs: I see you and appreciate you. I am grateful for the wonderful work you're doing every day despite the way the industry treats you. I am thankful for the stories you made happen, in so many ways you've been here for me through the most difficult of times. You deserve better!! 🫶

Dragon Age has brought me so much joy and comfort in my darkest times- i could (and might honestly) write so much about it. That I cant reciprocate that feeling to the people that made it- i get so frustrated. Any and all DA devs, you matter. Your work matters- they dont know all you did.

I'm trying really hard not to say a lot of colorful angry words directed at a company that has laid off some of it's best developers that helped shape their studio. Laying off devs without even owning up to it in your announcement is bullshit. I don't know, I'm just so mad.

After almost 14 years at BioWare, I am devastated to learn today that myself and others must seek new opportunities. I am so grateful for all of the learning, challenges, and most importantly the team. I will remember my time here with joy. Tomorrow we'll move forward. For today I will just be sad.

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”
