If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.
Discussing grind culture and the games industry on X. And unsurprisingly, 280 characters wasn’t enough, so I accidentally wrote an essay instead It’s about why I think we’ve started confusing self-sacrifice with professionalism. I hope people still read😅 open.substack.com/pub/troymccr...
The Games Industry Doesn’t Have a Talent Problem. It Has an Opportunity Problem.
How the games industry started confusing self-sacrifice with professionalism.

I don't get to make game art very often these days (I'm a 3d arts lecturer), but it felt so good to dust off the digital clay and dive back into the pipeline! Meet the Xenophage (Pedro) - my latest little bundle of joy www.artstation.com/artwork/XJqovy

I made this for my students, to go through the character creation process from start to finish (also to test a blender-only pipeline) super fun project, I think it turned out well 😊
My Princess Zelda WIP, inspired by her Twilight Princess look. not sure I'm gonna get to finish this one, but super fun playing around with new techniques and experimenting with style 😁
I've suffered from creative burnout for the better part of this year, but I think I'm starting to heal. I don't know why the first thing I make is a skull crab, though 🤔 Excited for Halloween? 😅
