Another major workforce reduction 😭 To all of my friends and colleagues at Bungie - I hope you find something new, soon. This is terribly saddening news.

EMERGENCY: Synapse Chronicles STEAM PAGE TAKEN DOWN by Convicted CRIMINAL JOZEF VICTOR NATHAN GHERMAN. Jozef Gherman, a CFTC-sanctioned CRYPTO scammer, and AI scammer, LIED about a Florida court order from a separate case to FALSELY DMCA STRIKE the STEAM PAGE and PATREON PAGE of an INDIE GAME he does NOT own. Gherman does NOT own Synapse Chronicles. He has no copyright, no assignment, no paperwork, NOTHING. We are fighting him for another unrelated INDIE GAME in court right now. This is DMCA lawfare against INDIE developers. Our legal team is working with Steam and Patreon right now to restore the game. The DMCA process should NOT be used as a bad-faith harassment tool to suppress an independently developed game.

More sculpting progress. Still tinkering with the face, but started redoing the clothes so they aren't lumpy anymore. Also started work on the artificial spine #gameart

Epic got me. But the support from my team has meant everything. Hard not to tear up at being called your team's Captain America. I came up as a storyteller at Blizzard. Artifacts, Class Halls, Argus. Brought my energy to Fortnite Quests. Grew into Battle Pass and more. Wild!

Peep my side hustle. If you're a game dev out of work I'll do a build for free, you just pay for parts.
Replying to @evankinney
So hey, I do PC building on the side as a hobby if you're interested in a desktop. You give me a budget and use cases, and I handle part selection, ordering, building, aesthetics design, cable manag, and setup. I'll do it all labor free for anyone in industry who got laid off.

Nearly 2,000 layoffs in less than 3 years and not a single person from the leadership team has been affected or voluntarily stepped out. These outcomes are their failure and their failure alone.

For anyone affected by the #Epic layoffs - I'm hiring programmers, animators, and 3D modelers immediately. Please reach out.
EPIC GAMES LAYS OFF OVER 1,000 EMPLOYEES "Today we’re laying off over 1000 Epic employees. I'm sorry we're here again. The downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we're spending significantly more than we're making, and we have to make major cuts to keep the company funded. This layoff, together with over $500 million of identified cost savings in contracting, marketing, and closing some open roles puts us in a more stable place."

After almost 8 years, my time at Epic Games has come to an unexpected end. It’s hard to put into words what an incredible journey it has been, but I’ll try in this 🧵

Nine and a half years later, and my time with Psyonix and Epic has come to an end. ⚽🏎️ Thanks to those who have reached out already ❤️ Don't worry, I'll be ok. I'm going to enjoy some well-deserved downtime for now.

I was part of the Epic layoffs today. I worked as a Art Outsource Lead overseeing Fortnite Lego minifigs. I worked on everything from K-Pop DH, to huge streamers and minifigs for the latest Superman movies. If you’re looking for a Outsource Lead, Lead Or Char artist let me know!

Got hit by this, as did many of my super talented buds in QA. If anyone in the Seattle area is hiring, ya boy needs help. And if you know of work in Cary, I'd be happy to pass it on to other folk

I’m a part of the layoffs today at Epic, closing out four years working on Fortnite. It’s been the privilege of my early career being a part of this team. I’m proud of what we built, and grateful for every person I got to build it with. Fortnite will always be special to me.

My role at Epic Games is at risk. The past 5 and a half years as social media manager from Mediatonic to Epic, Fall Guys to LEGO Fortnite to Fortnite and everything in between, has been a wild ride. And how mega to be able to say my last hoorah was working on Game of Thrones!!
