I'm so sorry Emily. Big hugs.

I've found you end up adapting to the needs of the role in different teams. But like others have mentioned, being able to express/document/articulate ideas and what you're looking to build clearly with people outside of your own discipline/context does a Lot.

Like others have mentioned, quest design isn't exactly a role that is consistent across studios or even projects. Knowing baseline Unreal can be very helpful (it's where I started/my first roles were in), and knowing a bit of narrative, a bit of level design, and strong communication skills.

Don't know if it's the *most* useless video game thing I know, but naming sublevels/layers building things for Mass Effect 3, I named the ones for the maintenance tunnels in the Geth Dreadnought mission "gethries" as a reference to Star Trek's Jefferies tubes.

Played Super Mario on the NES at a neighbor when I was... 5? Started drawing Super Mario levels on paper and "playing through them" in my head. That interest in building things stayed (not realizing until much later you could actually do it as a job) and now I'm somehow 20 years into a career.

Sorry, I meant storyboarding those pcap scenes before shoot is what I meant and definitely did not write.

Jos of Yōtei @sjosz.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

I think it depends on what the yardstick is for. Big pcap scene? Sure, go with scratch if possible, robovoice won't give you the right feel. Ambient dialog while traversing from A to B in gameplay? Robovoice is a useful/cheaper/reliable enough tool to pace out dialog across distance.

Growing up with games and a fascination with building things, did a lot of hobbyist level design as a kid/teenager. While figuring out what post-secondary schooling/career to pursue a level designer at a small company reached out about my hobbyist levels. Haven't looked back.

First time trying to make candied nuts. It's fun to learn a small new thing. Just gotta wait until they're fully cooled before they get chopped up.

Aw man sorry to hear it, that sucks.

Why is it this time? What game is too difficult now?

I'm just aging as a hobby, I don't feel like I have to be good at it. I'm okay never getting to the aging olympics.

Sword of the Sea is so fun. Light puzzling, lots of peaceful, beautiful traversal. Would recommend.
