Dianna 🇩🇴

No the cards went to a friend who needed a new hobby and I needed space when moving.

My systems were my ex.

Ahhh fack. We're the same person.

Proud of you! 🥹🥹🤘🏽🤘🏽

A woman stands in a modern bathroom. She is wearing a leather jacker and a t-shirt that reads "Punch More Nazis." She has pink hair and a side shave. She is flipping off the camera.

What's good, #WhatAGameDevLooksLike ?

Senior writer on Iron Man @ Motive, prev: Space Marine 2, Gotham Knights, Jurassic Park: Survival, World War Z: Aftermath, and more.

I also write comics! Grab Stark Trek: Celebrations when it comes out in May!

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 ✨

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. ✌🏾

I'm Whitney, award winning writer and narrative designer. I've done every level of game dev, including studio head. I've got nothing to prove to anybody at this point and I do work that I like, with the people I like. Happily ensconced at CDPR.

Full body mirror selfie of me in an all-black outfit. I am wearing a wraparound harness, a short cape, pointed toe boots with a clear wedge heel, and have mesh sleeves with roses embroidered on them

Selfie of my face. I am wearing octagonal glasses, a silver floral ear cuff, and a black velvet choker

I am actually at GDC so it’s that time again 🙂‍↕️

I’m a Singaporean game producer on Diablo IV 🖤

I don't know how I feel about this. Samurai Champloo rewrote my brain chemistry. The album is still in my playlist. I was a mess for days when Nujabes passed.

Honestly, this has a higher bar to hit than Cowboy Bebop, for me.

I just spent 4 hours working with someone to balance our books for the store..

My brain is fried.

It's by design.

It's international women's day if only there was a starter back of amazing Black & Femne Developers to support ✨✨✨

That's how they get you.

I said it 8 months ago... They said there would be layoffs. They were saying it in our faces

Omg swing by and say hi!

The Secret Lantern Books & Games Cedar Park's new indie book and game store where misfits make their magic.

If you’re in Austin area come say hi sometime.

We’re building something really special here.

And we’re just getting started. ❤️

www.thesecretlantern.com

Also worth saying: I didn’t leave my skills behind.

I’m still consulting and helping teams with partnerships, production, and strategy.

So if you’re building something cool, my DMs are open.

And the wild part?

The game dev community has already shown up in a huge way.

Folks reaching out about art camps, writing classes, game jams, design workshops, and collaborations.

Turns out when you build spaces for creators, creators show up.

The Secret Lantern Books & Games Cedar Park's new indie book and game store where misfits make their magic.

So I stepped away and started building The Secret Lantern in Cedar Park, Texas.

A bookstore + game space where people can read, play, create, run game jams, host workshops, put on shows, and find their community.

Basically the kind of place I wish existed more often.

At some point I had to ask myself a question:

What is the cost of staying in the machine?

For me the answer was simple.

I wanted to build something that actually brings people together.

Not just players online, but people in real life.

Build my own damn table.

After 20+ years in games I realized something.

I love games.

I don’t always love the industry that surrounds them.

The last few years have been rough for a lot of us.

Layoffs. Burnout. Studios closing.

Friends leaving the industry entirely.

The Secret Lantern Books & Games | Dianna L. Hey folks~! A while ago, I stepped away from Epic Games and I have been so busy building the next chapter that I completely forgot to actually tell people. 😅 Games have given me an incredible career,...
