LOOKING FOR A PERSON ๐จ
During our meet and greet young man came and told how we inspired and helped you during your battle with cancer.
I tried looking for you after but couldnt find, if you are in the venue tomorrow send me a message id like to give you a jersey of mine and have a chat! ๐
My time at Riot and on TFT as a Game Designer has come to an end. Just under 10 years, and to be honest I thought it was going to be longer, but sometimes things change.
-------------------------------------------------
Iโm so grateful for what I was able to be a small part of, and able to accomplish in the last decade. Itโs been a dream career, and I have got to do so much thanks to Riot. Even trying to list it all feels insane what I managed to do in this time. And the crazy 7 years on TFT where I got to design, balance, teach, lead, and more for my job, but then also build a community, stream, cast, go to eventsโฆitโs just been amazing. Ending on stuff like the Unlock system and a couple other thingsโฆIโm heading out proud.
To everyone I worked with over the years, thank you for letting me be a part of everything we accomplished. I hope I managed to teach you something or bring you joy in some way. I genuinely hope our paths cross again in the future.
To everyone who supported TFT or me over the years, you have no idea what it means to me. I cherish all the moments over the years, and theyโll keep me going. I am so blessed to have been a part of your lives and thank you for letting me bring some fun into your world.
-----------------------------------------------------
Soโฆwhatโs next for me? Iโm trying to figure that out.
First off, since I was on sabbatical and am terrible at relaxing/not working, I have been making my own small indie game. Iโm about 2 months into development and have already had folks playtesting some early builds. Iโd say the game is like 20-30% done, but my goal is to release it as a full game. Itโs been fun keeping my skills sharp in a different space, and I hope to share it with you all someday.
Beyond that, Iโm keeping my eyes open for other opportunities. Iโve had a few conversations here and there already during my Sabbatical. Itโs a brutal industry right now, so Iโm taking one day at a time and figuring out whatโs next for me, whether itโs working on another studioโs game or even my own thing.
And Iโd love to find a space to do some content creation and be able to share my knowledge of game development. But that may take some time to figure out how to do it right.
-------------------------------------------------------Again, thank you for everything these last 10 years. Itโs a big change and Iโm nervous but hoping it all works out. Until next time, take it easy!
