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.

One wears a colorful jacket over a graphic T-shirt and white pants, while the other sports a casual brown jacket, jeans, and holds a beverage, both looking off into the distance with determination

this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike!! not at GDC this year (😭) but i've been in games as a marketing professional for 4 years now!

it takes a LOT for me to celebrate myself, but in that short time i went from a beginner with no industry experience to a director role, and i think that's pretty cool :'^)

My 2nd GDC talk was also at GDC EU (and GDC China) where I talked about how to reduce VR Sickness (Simulation Sickness) via game design

For this talk I read a bunch of academic papers looking at work done at places like NASA on reducing Sim Sickness. Fascinating stuff!

My name is Raymond Dosono! I'm a games user researcher who has worked on games such as Fortnite and the Borderlands series.

I'm currently making my own game to gain a better perspective on the challenges and processes that developers engage in, to make a positive impact!

Mountain time's zone looks gerrymandered lol.

Agreed, only exceptions are usually recruiters, but they're usually hit or miss for me.

i'm on the fence, let me know how it is XP

is this going to be on BnBTabletop?!

This image shows a diagram that has arrows moving from Developer to Intended Experience. That Intended Experience is then filtered through the environment (technology, money, time), and produces the game or product. Then the product goes to the user and their environment which produces the User Experience. In the case of this example the intended experience was a Dinosaur, but the user experience was a chicken. That chicken user experience then is reported to the developer via User Experience Research. They then iterate through the same cycle as above to produce a game/product that has both a dino as the intended experience and the user experience.

I am pleased to announce my new company Intended Experience! (intendedexperience.nz)

In any endeavour you will have an experience in mind that you want your audience to receive.

Work with me to make your Intended Experience the User Experience!

I guess for me some platformers and grinding certain monsters in Monster Hunter would be cozy. I can play at a lower locked on state then say a moba or high stress platformer.

this is such great work!!!

Yea, I really wish I bought bigger m.2s and HDDs before the price jumps.

Finished building a new gunpla and reshelling my broken dslite.

Shows a score of 41.68/50 and 5 colors the player had to pinpoint from memory. Text reads: "Annoyingly good. It doesn't make you interesting, though. dialed.gg

I did fine?

I should shitpost more, but I prefer liking and interacting with the shitposts lol

Woot! Congratulations again on the new place!!!

The abstract alone is pure art.

Thank you everyone! Advocating for accessibility is often a hard and emotionally draining job. We often remember the features that got cut and forget the progress we make. The GA Conf awards is an amazing opportunity to celebrate the games and the people who make accessible games possible.

Congratulations!!!
