Reposted by RandiMyriame・．🦂 @mllepilgrim.bsky.social · 28/10/2025My heart is heavy & I might have more to say on that later, but I've got news today that my time at Heart Machine will come to an end after POSSESSOR(S) ships. I'm honestly too busy... literally shipping the game to start actively looking for work, but I'll be looking for my next gig in December. 🥲 2826561 0
Reposted by RandiVirum @virum.bsky.social · 29/10/2025My time at Heart Machine has sadly come to a rather abrupt end. I was there for almost 6 years, & had been working on Breaker since summer 2020. It was a pleasure working with them! Now, a new chapter begins. 16616 0

Reposted by RandiBennn Strickland @dasstrickland.bsky.social · 28/10/2025The Terrible Layoff Beast has come for me and I no longer work for Heart Machine. It was a good team, I'm sad I won't get to work with them anymore. If you're looking for a game designer, I'm available for full time gigs and consulting. I'm pretty OK at it. I'll have more info to share in a bit. 0166 0

Reposted by RandiLaura Michet @lmichet.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month. Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me! 20553304 0
