Save the date to fight with flavor 👁️ Hunt critters, gather ingredients and cook for your people as Ito in @townofzoz.bsky.social. This is exactly the kind of game we back. Don't miss it.
I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.
My name is Nick Austin and I'm an animator thats currently looking for work after recently being laid off. Here is my most up to date demo reel, and please by all means reach out if you have a lead on any possible open positions!
Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:
Ivy Road@ivyroadgames.bsky.social · 10mo agoWhile 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!⬇
Got pretty nostalgic tonight. Dug up this cute dance I made back in 2019. 🥹
Amnesty International released a statement yesterday saying that Israel's genocide in Gaza is still ongoing despite the ceasefire, a calculated move "to bring about their physical destruction, without signalling any change in their intent" But this is the real concern for the West and its allies.
The Terrible Layoff Beast has come for me and I no longer work for Heart Machine. It was a good team, I'm sad I won't get to work with them anymore. If you're looking for a game designer, I'm available for full time gigs and consulting. I'm pretty OK at it. I'll have more info to share in a bit.
After 7.5 years, my time making music & sound at @heartmachine.bsky.social is ending w/ the recent layoffs. I'd love to keep pushing boundaries -- please reach out if you think I can help solve your audio problems, especially if you're doing something artistically wild. RTs appreciated 🙏

My time at Heart Machine has sadly come to a rather abrupt end. I was there for almost 6 years, & had been working on Breaker since summer 2020. It was a pleasure working with them! Now, a new chapter begins.
My heart is heavy & I might have more to say on that later, but I've got news today that my time at Heart Machine will come to an end after POSSESSOR(S) ships. I'm honestly too busy... literally shipping the game to start actively looking for work, but I'll be looking for my next gig in December. 🥲
I just wanted to post, I'm laid off. Just shouting into the void of the internet! It was a beautiful and wonderful team of people to work with at HM.
The layoffs have come for me and time at Heart Machine will be wrapping up at the end of the month. If you're looking for a Technical Artist with experience in Houdini, Unreal, Unity, Python, VEX and C++, lets chat. 🫡 (portfolio updates incoming) randireynolds.artstation.com
Hi friends. Unfortunately, my time at Heart Machine is coming to an end. I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. Saying goodbye to such a talented team is difficult, but I am excited for the next adventure. <3 I'll have more info soon. Thanks everyone. Stay strong out there.
Hey friends - my time at Heart Machine is ending after nearly 6 years. It’s difficult to say goodbye to a studio that has seen so much growth in myself and others. If you know of any studios hiring for audio lead or senior roles, please send them my way. DMs are open! #AudioJobs #OpenToWork
It's that time again, folks. I have been told I will be let go from Heart Machine next week. The people there have been amazing friends and coworkers and anyone else who has been affected deserves all the love and support. I will be updating my portfolio soon; any Env Art leads would be appreciated
Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month. Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!
Can't believe I'm saying this again so soon, but I've been laid off from Heart Machine. Please check out Possessor(s) on Nov 11th, I'm incredibly excited for you all to experience what I've been working so hard on the past year. Gonna just keep on moving forward and makin art mattgraczykart.com

Arachnophobes beware 🕷️ This spider’s got some nasty new attacks, and if all else fails, he’ll spin to win. These were a blast to animate and are gonna feel nasty in-game. #animation #indiedev #gamedev #fgc
