To the dude who recognized me from RV and smoked me in the Jamie mirror in the SF6 Battle Hub, thanks for the well wishes. I’m enjoying summer with my family and searching for my next thing in games. It’s an awesome summer for fighting games and I hope to service another community soon. 🫡

I just finished my first run of Dispatch. What a ride! It scratched a similar itch that Bandersnatch scratched for me. Experiencing the weekly release alongside the player community at launch must have felt special. 👏 👏 👏

Keenan is incredible and youd be blessed to have him on your team.
Keenan Moralicz@keeman45.bsky.social · 4mo agoFor the past 5 years I’ve been hunting down community feedback alongside @keits.bsky.social at @irongalaxystudios.com. I’m now searching for my next comms gig. If your dev team needs Community/Social support, trained by Keits’ thoughtful mind and a leader of Bungie’s comms team, I’m your dude.
I’ve worked with Keenan for years and I can vouch for him being a master of insight gathering, partner comms, and brand management, in addition to the things he mentioned in his post re: social media/community outreach. Your studio would greatly benefit from having him at the helm on comms.

Keits@keits.bsky.social · 4mo agoI’ve been tuning competitive games for 15 years, and I’ve come to one inevitable conclusion. Want to know why people loved our patches on Killer Instinct and Rumbleverse so much? My hour long deep dive premieres tonight at 10pm EST on Game Design Direct! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCPQ...
CB pools posted, hype for KI is building, so I gotta put my annual CB KI bounty this year on KI's favorite front-runner, the hometown hero, the ARIA alchemist, the reigning and defending CB 25 KI champion, extremezomb1e! $40 total: $20 for knocking to losers, and $20 for knocking out cold
My Funstration scale has people talking... I wrote a followup video for #GameDesignDirect to give more details on it. Stay tuned! Check out the video essay here: youtu.be/uCPQGncOx-Q?...
If any creators out there havent watched my game balance video yet and want to do a react to it, you have my blessing. Tag a creator if you like. youtu.be/uCPQGncOx-Q?...

Thanks for tuning into the premiere of my new youtube channel. We'll try to make more design talks, but we dont have a set schedule so they'll come as they come. Liking and subscribing helps us get monetized so I can pay the team, though, so please do that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCPQ...
