To be *EXTRA* clear, I was NOT hired. No one was. I'd had conversations w/ both EA and BioWare over multiple years and prepared this music as a discussion item. The response was extremely enthusiastic from all who heard it but MUCH still needed to happen before it was official
Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

So here you go ... Thank you again to my friends at both BioWare and EA. To even dream in your sandbox was a privilege

This week, composer @awintory stars in the premiere episode of Source Files, a new GMN series podcast where we ask developers what games were most influential in their own careers!

Austin recounts which three games had a profound influence on his own work and career:

Fun trivia. This synth-tastic main title theme was composed by Stu Phillips, the composer of the original Battlestar Galactica’s epic, symphonic fanfares.

The guy is so talented!
On this day in 1982, one of, if not the greatest TV intro was launched!

These indie devs were sick of platformers so they made one where you get to be the bad guy

- Pick your traps from a small shop
- Lay them out however you want
- A wave of heroes is let loose on it
- More heroes come every round

Game is Hostile Architect. This is GENIUS.

Quite tragic. The talent pool at that studio was supreme.
A buyer for Ninja Theory has fallen through and Xbox will now close Ninja Theory.
Community note
The exact wording in the press release is "We will now begin consultation with employees on a proposed closure while continuing to explore other paths forward.", which means closure is highly likely but still leaves room for an alternative for the time being.

Geoff Keighley says games need human talent more than ever so he and Mark Cerny just put millions into it

- $100,000 grants for 20 graduates a year
- Devs own the game and they take no equity
- About 1 in 4 can get up to $500,000 more

It's called Nova Games Foundation.

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank
