Worldsmith

Former Product Director, Hotel Hideaway. Helping #Habbo. What’s next?

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@AwkwardHab @Spidercides I improved Habbo asset pipeline around 5 years ago for the first time, including hiring many new artists at the time, among other things. Then I led Hotel Hideaway after that until it was sold recently, when they did the staff announcement. So not really.

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

Would be fun to join you! I’ve got a few things to work through at the moment, so give me at least a couple of weeks and we can look at a good time. 🍻

[Spidercides @Spidercides]

@jarkko_kouva Would love to have you on my Quack Podcast sometime. I think it would make way for a fun introduction as well. You can ask @HabboKsamra @Muumiopappa @sirjonasxx and Olsoweir on their experience. 🍻

nevertheless, I would not change a single moment of what I've been fortunate enough to love and share with all of you.

peace and love ❤️🙏

After 13 years, my time at Sulake and Habbo is coming to an end.

Thank you, Habbo community. You're the reason this was the best job I've ever had, and the reason I'll want to keep building online social spaces.

I'm not disappearing. Stick around, there's more to come. 🧡

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@Openbaar_Toilet @Spidercides Next time!

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@Openbaar_Toilet @Spidercides That was great actually!

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@HabboKsamra The end is just the beginning 🫡

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@Spidercides My time at Sulake will come to an end in early January. I’ll share more about what’s next later, perhaps on your podcast if you’re still up for having me 😄

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@HabboTea All good mate 😄 Strange times call for strange posts.

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

Change of plans. Same ambition.

Habbos, our updated Terms of Service take effect on November 5th.

We've updated the original article to explain what we’re changing, why we need to change it, and what it means for you.

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

Anything you’d like to know about Sulake or what happens behind the scenes?

Ask away. I’ll answer what I can from my own experience. #Habbo

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@ES_colombian__o Happy to answer! The feedback raises valid concerns. We fell short on communication, and I expect we’ll see clearer examples of what the ToS changes mean in practice.

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@HabboTea Our artists brainstorm together for each theme and choose which pieces to develop, guided by the lead artist. It’s collaborative, so no competing there. The art team works largely independently, usually a couple of months ahead of release.

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@HabboTea Our development teams have only worked on Sulake’s games. I spent personally a couple of days helping Woozworld with their ways of working. Sharing learnings and finding ways to help each other is pretty normal within a group of studios.

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@Joonicornia Yes! I never play on a staff account myself 😄 Happy to answer!

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@Habbowigu3 We still have plenty of Habbo stuff in the office basement, including a few pillows! My favourites are the clothes, though I revisit old books like Just Another Day now and then. @Muumiopappa takes it further and wears Habbo from head to toe every day 😄

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@DonQuixoteES @HabboTea Work, family and occasionally being offline got in the way. Getting through them now.

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@mopetubarao Yes, managers have people they report to too 😄 We have a fairly flat hierarchy within the company, but everyone still has responsibilities and is accountable for their work.

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@Gorrionziz @Habbo, could we put together a short video or some photos showing the office and a typical day with the team, or follow one team member through their day?

[Worldsmith @Pikselikilta]

@SpiritSeaHBES Yes, definitely something I’d like to see more of. It’s a big part of why I started talking here, and I’d like to encourage others on the team to do the same. There’s plenty about the people and work behind Habbo that we could share more openly.
