Formerly a Senior Content Systems Designer at Zenimax Online Studios. Prev. Scripter at Roundhouse Studios,QA at Epic Games for (UE4), and QA at Raven Software.
"[The project at Zenimax Online] was a third-person, online looter-shooter, not unlike Destiny. It had a sci-fi, noir aesthetic - similar to films like Blade Runner - and placed a heavy emphasis on vertical movement."
The game impressed Xbox executives earlier this year. Now it's cancelled.

@chronofloss Yup. This blindsided the team. This is why I'm always suspicious of builds being praised and well received. I don't trust what is said behind closed doors after the teams leave.
Him, Booty and Sarah Bond strutted into Blizzard HQ at Irvine post-acquisition with a big smile, an inspirational speech about trust, shaking hands and making jokes about how we were all getting Xboxes.
He fired 2000+ of us 2 month later. Some of us discovered via Twitter.
They've gone full mask-off: 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 trust @OpenAI or its products (ChatGPT etc). There is only one reason for appointing an @NSAGov Director to your board. This is a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on Earth. You have been warned.
Never give up on bringing joy to the developers you work with, and the players who love the games we make.
Thanks for teaching me how to be good to myself—and to each other—even when shit hits the fan. Even now, in the end, you are so good.
I love you, Arkane Austin 🧡
For now, great teams are sunsetting before our eyes again, and it's a fucking gut stab. Lyon is safe, but please be tactful and discerning about all this, and respect affected folks' voice and leave it room to be heard, it's their story to tell, their feelings to express.
Don't throw us into gold fever gambits, don't use us as strawmen for miscalculations/blind spots, don't make our work environments darwinist jungles. You say we make you proud when we make a good game. Make us proud when times are tough. We know you can, we seen it before.
This is absolutely terrible. Permission to be human : to any executive reading this, friendly reminder that video games are an entertainment/cultural industry, and your business as a corporation is to take care of your artists/entertainers and help them create value for you.
