While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇

Floorboards are bathed in red light as if from a door, illuminating the front of a figure on their knees. The figure sits in the centre of a pentagram of candles, arms outstretched, mouth wide and face obscured. The flames from the candles billow in ribbons across the frame. The shadow cast by the figure is demonic with unholy limbs grasping painfully. Small singed cards float in the air around the figure. Text in the shadow reads β€˜Malys’. A green banner reads 'Just launched Kickstarter'.

With so much jadedness and toxic gloom pervading the industry, the optimism and camaraderie of GDC was such a necessary antidote. I witnessed so much creativity, passion, persistence, & kindness over the last 5 days. I’m returning home more excited than ever to support that version of the industry.

In case you’re attending #GDC2025 and do not know about this; if you’re ever feeling unsafe, need assistance, or see something troubling, you can call this 24 hour hotline.

They will listen and assist however possible whether you’re at an official GDC event or simply in San Francisco for the event.
