Inside the life of a Canadian game sound designer and composer Neha Patel unpacks her creative process between all kinds of games, from Venba and All Will Rise to Spleen and Slay the Spire.

Im in awe of Brad`s writing and how well he encapsulated my words.

I was all over the place during the interview, switching from one thought to another and yet he kept up and wrote it so meaningfully.

I am so touched! thank you @bradshankar.bsky.social

All Will Rise: a narrative courtroom deck-builder A game about taking a billionaire to court for the murder of a river.

Give us your money so we can make a game about taking rich à la Epstein folks to court and JAIL!

It might feel 'pointless` to make changes as an individual, but All Will Rise shows that ORDINARY PEOPLE (yes dear normal person reading this) can bring change

legit thought about making the trip (i live in quebec city) but im currently in vancouver for the next few weeks so wont be able too. Bad timing!

I REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT! but im in vancouver for the next month! (too pricey to flight out for GDCheese lolololo)

sigh same :(

(goes to say how important human contact is considering the location of GDC/pricey)

Feels damn weird not getting ready to head out to GDC this year 0__0

I miss texting my international friends to hang out, the lovely surprises, preparing talks and getting excited over the warm weather. Wont miss the SF prices but I miss its humans

YAY CONGRATS!!! getting those keys is such a special moment

Thank you would really appreciate it! 😭

Be very careful, even if the studio has great ‘uWu’ presence online and treat their employees great, it doesn’t mean that they’ll pay their contractors fairly. It’s scary because in those situations, you might be willing to accept their low pay thinking ‘oh but they’ll hire me again! Ooh I’ll get visibility! ‘It’s okay to give away my Steam OST royalty money, I’ll get more gigs with them later!”. Spoiler alert: It probably won’t happen. It’ll be a one time low paying gig and that’s it. Don’t be fooled by any wholesome persona or online popularity, it’s a marketing tool. Freelancing sustainably means you need to know your worth and find ways to have it be respected. I’m writing this in the context of staying healthy in the games industry for years to come. I think it’s worth saying ‘no’ to exploitative gigs so that you preserve your long-term mental and financial health. That’s why in my last newsletter, I said that it’s okay, hell encouraged, to have another stable job. Freelancing cannot immediately become a full time stable career. Your health matters more and that should be the priority when negotiating pay for your next gig.

As a freelancer, it's much more than just getting a contract

It's about sustainable gigs. That includes saying no to short term exploitative contracts. I dont want people to burn out after 5 years.

Theres more to this excerpt so go read my latest newsletter!

A narrative courtroom deckbuilder game where you bring BILLIONAIRES TO COURT! Yup finally, a revenge fantasy we can all relate to (they burnt up the river to cover up an oil spill, bit too real!)

We're live on Kickstarter AND have a demo out too!

same issue here LOL!

I dont have a real 'scientific' answer but my gut feeling:

Marketability. The free stuff (that i love btw) can be a gateway to the same brands paid library.

As for paid libraries being like that: Marketability again,"1000SFX" sells better than "really just 50 good ones"

The last point: If I victimized myself the way white people do when they have one bad incident, i straight up wouldnt be anywhere in life.

Dickheads come in all colors in life

Excusing someones achievement based on race (you only got nominated cuz brown people game/asians so smart)▶️This is not micro aggression, this is blunt racism

The up an down glare cuz wow a 'colored person woaah exotic'

Using once bad incident with a certain colored person to then victimize urself

Racism ✨à la mode✨explained:

Stagnating on the margins of acceptability ▶️ (u didn't SAY you dont like brown people, but you did say you find them unattractive in public setting)

Denying someones lived experience (esp with micro aggressions)

White person not speaking up against micro aggressions
