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.
-------------------------------------------------
I’m so grateful for what I was able to be a small part of, and able to accomplish in the last decade. It’s 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 events…it’s just been amazing. Ending on stuff like the Unlock system and a couple other things…I’m 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 they’ll 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.
-----------------------------------------------------
So…what’s next for me? I’m 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. I’m about 2 months into development and have already had folks playtesting some early builds. I’d say the game is like 20-30% done, but my goal is to release it as a full game. It’s been fun keeping my skills sharp in a different space, and I hope to share it with you all someday.

Beyond that, I’m keeping my eyes open for other opportunities. I’ve had a few conversations here and there already during my Sabbatical. It’s a brutal industry right now, so I’m taking one day at a time and figuring out what’s next for me, whether it’s working on another studio’s game or even my own thing.

And I’d 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. It’s a big change and I’m nervous but hoping it all works out. Until next time, take it easy!

@JDVance Sorry but you were the only baby ever worth choosing crack over. Every time your mom neglected you was justified. Sorry. Amy Adams sucked in that movie too, sorry. Nothing you touch ever goes right. You should try some of Elon’s medicine sometime. Sorry.

>Median wage in Australia is $75,000 a year.

>Median House Price is ONE MILLION dollars.

>Two people earning the median wage, could MAYBE get approved for $600,000 dollars.

>They cannot afford anything big enough to raise a family in, without moving so far out that they would jeopardise their income

>With 95 percent of the property value mortgaged, a couple interest rate hikes would devastate them, likely leading to repossession

>This will raise demand, which raises house prices, which makes buying a decent home, even with a 5 percent deposit, even less attainable.

If we do not live in a country where a regular family can buy a regular home, we will self destruct.

55 percent of Australian politicians own multiple properties, over a third of them are landlords. House prices increasing to infinite is the explicitly stated goal of all major parties.

This must change.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

ONCE AGAIN: THE SICKNESS BENEFIT DOES NOT EXIST. IT WAS MERGED WITH JOBSEEKERS. YES, THERE IS SUPPORTED LIVING BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO GET ON AND IS DECIDED BY WINZ STAFF, NOT DOCTORS. A DOCTOR CAN BACK YOU 100% AND WINZ WILL SAY NO EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ZERO MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE.

To raise awareness and show solidarity for the hard working Rioters who lost their jobs today I'd like to suggest rallying the community to go on strike on the 11th of February and not playing any Riot games for the day. One collective fistbump to show Riot what community means!
