I love #IndieDev #Art and #GameDev work. I'm a IndieDev that likes moss and a level designer. I draw my own art. I post technical details about faulty LLM and AI.

#gamedev folks, what do you think of open-ended games, with no specific goals or ways to "beat" it? E.g. Rimworld or Factorio have ways to "win" them which are really not why/how most players actually play the game anyway. What if they didn't have a victory condition at all?

Well, as I often say on fajita night, THAT'S A WRAP! I am, as of eight minutes ago, no longer news editor of Game Developer.
A farewell post that reads: 

Hello! Today was my final day at Game Developer. This is not BREAKING news. I announced that I was stepping down four weeks ago, but it does mean that after over 11 years at the publication formerly (and perhaps infamously) known as Gamasutra, I have once again become a journalistic nomad. 

Right now, I still processing my decision to turn my back on a full-time corporate gig in favour of *something else*—especially in the current climate. Out of the frying pan and into the ninth circle of hell? Hopefully not. 

I’l have more details on What Comes Next in the not-too-distant future, but I want to stress that I am not leaving the world of trade journalism. I believe that now, more than ever, the video game industry needs a tenacious, fearless, and uncompromising trade press capable of holding power to account by publishing quality reporting. As I grew into my role at Gama/GD over the many, many years, that became my singular purpose. It has not changed now that I have departed. 

I’ll spare you a meandering ramble because, like I said, you’ll be hearing more from me quite soon. But I do want to thank my colleagues at Game Developer (past and present) their assistance and support—with a special shoutout to Kris Graft (who took a punt on hiring a very green reporter back in 2015 and basically taught me almost everything I know) and Danielle Riendeau (who offered their unwavering support during particular hairy moments). 

Despite the carnage that has become commonplace in game media in recent years, I’m more confident than ever that proper, top-notch journalism can move the needle for the betterment of developers everywhere. So, if you’ll have me, I’d love to stick around for another decade (hell, maybe even longer) with that ambition front and centre.
