Thinking about Firewatch makes me feel so much. We poured so much of ourselves into it. It is funny how 10 years later I understand Henry and Delilah more than when I had a part in creating the world in which they existed. Life makes us all into a bit of Henry and a bit of Delilah #gamedev
It’s almost been 10 yrs since we started making Firewatch. I listened to an album I had on repeat for the early months of the project and it instantly brought me back to that chair above Bobby’s woodshop, when I immersed myself in pictures of Wyoming and bathed in feelings of solitude and loss #gamedev

Really cool interactive play setup at the Imagine Children’s Museum in Everett, WA (30min north of #seattle) with overhead projector + I assume some depth camera that reacts to what the kids are doing with kinetic sand underneath! When you make a mountain it can turn into a volcano and the lava flow reacts to how you sculpt the sand #museum feels like tactile #videogames
I’m always happy to chat privately about the places I have worked. #gamedev jobs are extremely about fit. What works for person A might not for Person B, what’s person A’s cake can be person B’s poison. Anyway, just making it a note here so feel free to ping me if your own network isn’t giving you that insight
