Sean Austin

I'm urgently looking for work. I'm the writer of the upcoming Mythwrecked and a games media vet of 5 years. I can write your game. I can write on your game. I can translate your game into DE or E. I can consult on your game. I can write about your game. Email/portfolio in bio!

@drjclau From the point of view of the individual contributor who puts in the herculean effort, the project getting canned is a high impact, high frequency threat, and the immediate trigger of a shutdown may be so far removed as to always be a mystery. The opposite of that is a miracle.

Calling it a “miracle” implies that a game is some weird magical thing that we don’t know how it works 🤷, which diminishes the very intentional, skillful, and Herculean effort a team has to put in so that a game exists in the first place to be shipped

So excited to finally reveal our new title TMNT Splintered Fate!! Really happy with how our first foray into 4-player coop PVE, Rogue-likes, third party IP and subscription services turned out. 🔥 Check it out now on apple arcade!!

@EmberFirehair Can corroborate. It was an interesting concept, and the level designs still stand out to me as excellent examples of shared playground spaces.

@grajohnt Opportunity to build a sorting box?

I have regrets.

The team @wolfjawstudios is growing quickly and we have a bunch of open positions still! If interested in game dev let us know! #gamedev

With Square Enix Montreal closing down today, I might become available for new opportunities! 🌛 Anyone looking for a weird creative director/game designer/doodler for fun/bold/creative projects? Drop me a dm here or talk to me on Linkedin! linkedin.com/in/dominiquefe…

Hello Vainglory friends! To celebrate the holiday weekend, we've unlocked the LE skins for everyone for a Limited time. It's been a while since we've seen Baewitch Celeste and Pumpkin Spice Petal. Have a great Halloween and Día de los Muertos!

Anyone at Activision can help me with a referral for a contract position? I’m highly qualified :)

can anybody recommend a porting company that has experience porting a Construct3 game to Unity?

@dphrygian Pretend to be other people. Even if mechanically I'm still mostly doing the same things, the perspective shift keeps me engaged.

@emmaskyeward The fair compensation is based on the WORK and not your salary history or your needs. Those might at best determine how much comp is in base salary versus bonuses versus growth opportunities, etc.

@emmaskyeward Imagine you are the CEO (or equivalent). How much is it worth for that work to be done well? That is the fair compensation for that role. Start there at total comp and then let them know how flexible you can be on how that comp is structured.

I’ve been pretty much booked solid today with interviews which is such a relief and I feel so happy that people want to add my skills to their team! I hate negotiating salary tho, send me your best tips!

absolutely brutal year in games. layoffs, closures, scandals, and a non-stop flood of bad news. please, please be kind to each other, help each other out. uplift folks looking for work, put in a good word, hand a portfolio or resume off if you can. this sucks.
