Wow, big congrats to the #DeadSpace team at EA Motive. Finally got to put some time into the game.
It was an honor to work on the original and I gotta say, the Motive team put an awesome experience together. Great to see devs still passionate about this IP.

The text log with some names of the original dev team made it into the remake of @deadspace. @Carrillo_GD @mcnubbin @mightyrobot @loki_diego @afflictor
I gave talks at a couple colleges last week which inspired me to write this article. If you're looking to get a start in this industry as a game designer or even land your tenth job, look to this as your guide.

A game designer must go beyond game design and master the soft skills many don’t think of until it’s too late. That’s one of the reasons I wrote this book

10 years ago I moved to Toronto from the UK, a huge, life-changing event for me personally. A decade later we are building a new SHG team there. It’s a great moment for our studio and I am really looking forward to visiting our awesome Toronto team.
Thrilled to be joining @SHGames Toronto as their Creative Director. Joining a new studio location in Toronto is such an amazing opportunity and I can't wait to get started. My first day is next week!
