Reposted by Michael ElliottJosh Kulinski @joshkulinski.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I sincerely thought Bungie was going to be my forever home in this industry. Alas, I'm back on the job market. I'm immensely proud of the work I got to do on Destiny, and the people I got to build an experience of a lifetime with. 2148199

It was a good half decade, Bungie.

Reposted by Michael Elliottariella @agbouskila.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts. 4119541108

Michael Elliott @mtelliott.bsky.social · 06/03/2026I know a lot, a lot, more than 5 devs over there. Appreciate the kind words though. 110
Michael Elliott @mtelliott.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Today I get to be a part of my first new game. To say I’m proud of myself and my peers would be an understatement. As a lifetime fan, working at Bungie has been a dream come true. From Witch Queen to Marathon, it’s been an absolute privilege. See you on Tau Ceti, Runners. 2474

Michael Elliott @mtelliott.bsky.social · 29/09/2025I hope it’s not spoilery or pedantic to clear it up, at least the latter half! Rooms that you’ve explored are filled in on your map only upon resting at a bench. As for why *some* of the map is pre-drawn, I think it’s a nudge with the narrative that the map maker happened to explore those rooms. 140
Michael Elliott @mtelliott.bsky.social · 29/09/2025This is making me forget if Silksong explains the map filling in or if it was knowledge transferred from Hollow Knight 220

Michael Elliott @mtelliott.bsky.social · 03/09/2025It is utterly wild how perfectly and quickly I can get to Zote, and how much of a coin flip that fight is to me. I just can’t tell where the dude is going to WALK. And that collision damage is my kryptonite. 110
