Well, all good things come to an end at some point. If you read this blog and read gaming news sites, you might have heard that there was a major layoff at EA Salt Lake this past week. Unfortunately, me and many of my coworkers were laid off, many of whom were like family. However, as the adage goes, when one door closes, another (or two, or three) opens.
I’m actively looking for work right now in Game Design here in Salt Lake and around the country. Let’s see where my next adventure takes me!
This is the Launch Trailer for the game that I was on this past summer. It’s a fun expansion pack for The Sims 3, the 11th in fact! This was a wonderful project to be part of and I worked on tuning the bots in the game that you can program as a player with various personalities. Pick it up on Origin!
The Sims 3: Into the Future Expansion Pack
I haven’t updated my blog very much these past few months, because I’ve been pretty busy with this awesome project that I’m on! The game releases on October 22nd, 2013. Pre-order it today! 😉 It’s been a great experience where I’ve learned more about the process of working on a large team, tuning gameplay, and working on an established franchise.
ZODIAC IS MOBILE!
….that is all. 😉 More to come soon.
Last year at this point, I was a producer’s assistant at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Since then, I’ve changed jobs and this year I’ve been a passive partcipant, ie doing the festival thing of watching movies and meeting cool people.
So far I’ve seen Indie Game:The Movie, About The Pink Sky,Room 237, and Me @ The Zoo. The exception being ATPS, all of the films I’ve seen are documentaries and they’ve been a blast. I stuck around to meet the awesome and kind filmmakers after each one briefly, and I can say that all the films have inspired me in terms of studying how to be a producer and the possibilities and avenues it provides.
Me and the producers/directors of Me @ the Zoo (Chris Moukarbel and Valerie Veatch) as well as the film’s subject, Chris Crocker!
