With the dust settling on Frozen Trail’s launch, figured I should finally update my bio.

Last month I joined @EmbarkStudios to lead the long-term vision for creators across the studio, @arcraidersgame, and @reachthefinals.

It’s been an awesome first month settling in among some very talented and ambitious people. Still a lot of cool stuff I want to try in the creator space, and here feels like the perfect home to do just that.

Off to the kitchen… We got some cookin to do 👨‍🍳

Itching to step Topside for the first time? Hop in and play ARC Raiders completely FREE from October 8 to October 12 on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation!

Happy one year anniversary 🎉

Feel blessed to have joined the studio right before the occasion, and I couldn't be more excited about the future! 🦆

Happy Anniversary, Raiders! Claim your free gift! 🎁

One year ago today, we opened the tunnels and sent the first Raiders Topside.

Every extraction, every close call, and every wild story you’ve shared over the past year has helped shape this world. To say thank you for being on this journey with us, a special anniversary gift is waiting in your in-game inbox right now. It’s a small gesture, but we baked it with love!

Don't forget: our Anniversary Livestream kicks off later today on Twitch at 3pm CET. Join Ossen, Raz, and guest devs for trivia, favorite memories, and general Topside chaos.

Here’s to another year of raiding - see you Topside!

@Tibore_ If non-discoverable server info along with that of servers/individual who opt-out get indexed, then yeah that's a problem.

The idea is still sound.

[JDodd 🧑🏼‍🚀 @_jdodd]

Honestly, a smart competitive play against reddit. A lot of knowledge is now centralised in these 'closed' spaces. Introducing that knowledge to search engines is going to help reach a much broader audience than Discord has traditionally had.

For games that run their discord servers, this has the potential to really focus information flow and control towards a space you own rather than having to rely on fan-managed spaces. It also helps you capture more casual players and push them into deeply engaging social spaces.

I think if Discord is trying to push into other hobby spaces, however, they're going to need to eventually review the current requirements to be a Discoverable Server. 1,000 members is a significant milestone, and growing a server without an existing platform is challenging.

[Discord @discord]

If you've ever searched for a specific speedrun trick, someone has likely already answered it in a channel somewhere, in one of 63,000 Discoverable Servers. We’re updating Discoverable Servers to make those answers easier to find. https://t.co/kYowgybmZj

Just an absolute gut-punch.

Unsurprising given EA’s business direction, but it’s one of those things where you wish that maybe - MAYBE - someone high-up stood and said, “are you fucking crazy?”

[THE FINALS @reachthefinals]

As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.
