more information on how layoffs have impacted microsoft studios continues to trickle out. today I've confirmed that blizzard china suffered layoffs, and id software lost around half its staff just as it released dlc that required "significant" crunch

“Today was actually the launch of our DLC for Doom: The Dark Ages,” a current id employee told Aftermath. “What was supposed to be a celebratory day after a long effort including significant crunch is now largely a day of mourning. Entire teams have been gutted or even outright eliminated, with institutional knowledge lost that can't be replaced. I don't even know our ability to put out fixes for today's launch if they are needed, let alone new projects.” “All but one person who helped run all our old titles was let go,” they added. “Passionate fans of id since before working there trying to keep our legacy alive now won't be able to do so, and for some that has been as painful as the job loss itself.”

Oh hi there! After some radio silence, I'm super happy to announce that I had the pleasure of chatting with the one and only Akash Thakkar for the latest episode of his brilliant Sound Business Podcast! As a long-time listener myself, it's still kinda surreal and I really hope you enjoy our chat!

I’m on Akash Thakkar’s Sound Business Podcast!

Oh hi there! After a bit of radio silence I'm super excited to announce that I had the pleasure of speaking with Akash Thakkar for the latest episode of his Sound Business Podcast. Since I first developed a curiosity for game audio, Akash's podcast and YouTube videos had been my north star and helped me make sense of how the industry worked, what other sound designers are doing, and showcased brilliantly how others made their way into games.
