Oh hey #WhatAGameDevLooksLike!

I'm Marina, I make music & sounds for games (& sometimes implement them). Working on several titles this year & have been sitting on some announcements I can't wait to share :)

I'm not at GDC but I AM drinking a massive coffee & am available for work later this year☕

8 years in indie making & shipping Snacko! '19 RCAD BA in Game Art specializing in art, design, writing, and UI/UX 🌼

I wish to continue using my games and writing as a propaganda machine to promote walkable cities and criticize capitalism ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

congrats on the new role!!

Not a single person has yet been able to answer my fundamental question about AI “writing”: why would someone want to play a game that nobody even bothered to write?

Not at #GDC but I’m #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Writer, editor, Narrative Designer and DEI Consultant for 10+ years. A very hireable one, still seeking work a year after Monolith’s closure. ✌🏾

JC has pink and purple hair and is wearing sunglasses, a black sleeveless hoodie, and a silver necklace with a pizza charm on it. She is in front of a bunch of flowers that look like they are exploding out of her head. The sky is blue behind her.

This is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! I’m JC, I’ve been a gamedev for 10+ years in AAA/indie, and I am currently lead producer and (NEWLY MINTED) COO at my studio, @twirlbound.com! I love making cool stuff with cool people, developing sustainable career paths, and of course yelling (lovingly) about Jira ✨

I started #WhatAGameDevLooksLike the next day. It was mostly for myself, but it became a lovely demonstration of how diverse all facets of our industry actually are. It challenges standard expectations of who makes games and it’s an easy way to celebrate and amplify the diversity in our industry.

#TeaseYaGame

Key art for the video game Resident Evil - Code: Veronica X

i remember when Requiem's first trailer was revealed, and i misheard Grace's surname as "Ashford" and was freaking out and wondering why the audience wasn't screaming their heads off

more people need to play Code Veronica

got the masters back from @jordanfehr.bsky.social, who absolutely knocked it out of the park!!

can't wait for release. time to shoot the album art and finish the digital booklet :)

Yes!! Great call on the lighting too.

oh 🥲

oh let's GO, this sounds awesome 🔥

I've had a couple of long form commissions keep me a bit busy music-wise but I still chip away at the EP when I can! Here's another lil snippet that's just a small demo. Forgive the clipping 💀🎸

wait, how do we get that mount? guessing it's a grand company-related achievement?

been saying for ages that i'd LOVE for this art style to come back in a big way

By “play games,” I mean that I’ll try to convince you to pick up Nightreign lol 🙂‍↕️

I won’t be at GDC this year but have some time blocked off to catch up with game dev mutuals remotely.

We can chat dev while we play games? Message me :)

getting started, come hang out if you’re in need of respite or company :)

streaming Hunt the Night later today!

come hang out if you'd like to see the start of the game, and for a chance to win a free Steam key (big thank you to @dangen-ent.bsky.social for the #gifted copies 🖤)

Thank you, thank you, I really tried 😌

I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT!! 😭

🎵📅 March 4 release.

(I guess even though I said no #SingingMarch it qualifies for Day 1+2 since it's my power register and we cooked so hard I'm OBSESSED with how it turned out)
