Hey everyone,
This month’s post is a bit of a short one. I want to give a general update and discuss what I want to achieve for this blog over the course of the next year. A lot has changed for me in the last couple months or so. I moved, switched jobs, inherited a cat, got a puppy, and life keeps being crazy.
Switched Jobs?
Yeah. So a few months ago, I made the difficult decision to leave Kung Fu Factory. At the time, I wasn’t connecting well with NFTs/crypto and the direction of the studio. While I don’t hold any animosity towards anyone there, I just wasn’t interested in working on play to earn games. Maybe as I understand crypto a little bit better, and the market evolves, this will change. But at the moment, it’s just not for me.
This leads me into where I ended up. I’m at Skydance Interactive now. I still do economics, but I’m doing a lot more Systems Design work now as well. Hence why my title changed to Systems Designer. When I’m able to talk a little bit more about what I’m working on, I will make sure to let you all know. I promise it’ll knock your socks off!
Blog Direction
New logo going forward.
I want to take this blog to youtube and discord. I’ve been posting here for years, I have some good traffic, and I’ve made some meaningful connections because of it. But I think posting here and on Game Developer isn’t quite cutting it anymore. And it’s tougher than ever to make connections with people in the industry since we’re all working from home. So I want to bring these blogs to video and eventually open a discord of like-minded developers where we can discuss the latest industry trends. These additions will take some time as they will take a bit of work on my end to get set up. Please bear with me, and I’ll make an announcement as each piece goes live.
I’m not going to stop producing content for the site, and I will still continue to write for it. I just want to try and expand my audience a little bit more. I’m hoping to have everything set up and the first video out by the end of the year. I appreciate any feedback you guys may have as I continue to move forward.
Ko-Fi
If you like my content and want to support my caffeine addiction, please consider donating to my Ko-Fi. Don’t worry, I won’t put any of my content behind a paywall and it will always be 100% free. I just want to give people an option if they wish to support my work.
And that’s it for this post. Next time we’ll be diving back into the world of Game Design Analysis.
Until then,
Scott
