In conclusion I’m sorry I outed you loudly on the street , big fan, I wrote a Marvel book that came out today, I hope you had a good wine, you rule, keep up the good work 🤗
This is a fun piece that goes into detail about how we developed Rivet, though it’s pretty upsetting and frankly offensive that they never once mention me, given I was the lead writer and responsible for a TON of this development.
Abusers are smart. We’re told to leave if he hits you, so they find other ways to destroy you. We should all be taught about verbal and emotional abuse abuse before we hit high school. These behaviours are textbook, and once you’re in, the odds of getting out safely... not good.
OFFICIAL CRITTER STATUS ACHIEVED, I’ve joined up with the incredibly talented and kind folks to provide them with words!! On things!! VERY EXCITING!!
(everyone pictured here is actual size; I am 6’5”)
Don’t compare how we felt in 2016 to how 🍊 supporters feel tonight. We were, rightfully, scared for our lives, for our rights, for our friends and family and all marginalized people in this country. They’re scared of being held accountable for their racism, misogyny, and hate.

Some big and exciting news today: I’m writing the first ✨MIGHTY NEIN✨ comic for & !!

This speaks to a broader issue of game devs being entirely erased from the narrative of their own work once they leave a studio. I’m not even credited as a writer on this game despite dedicating a year and a half of my life to it and creating Rivet’s personality from scratch.
Imagine being these animators, telling your bosses for years that something is a huge mistake & being ignored only to have them listen to identical consumer feedback and demand you fix everything at the last minute when they should have just listened to you in the first place

"We know you don't like the blue fur atrocity now, but what if we destroy a couple hundred animators' lives for 6 months, with no more insight or discernment then we had previously!"
I guess the cat’s out of the bag:

Seems like Mark’s GDC talk makes it sound like a bunch of this stuff sprung up from nowhere? I was one of like 4 people in the room for most of Rivet’s development. I was the one who said “We can’t call her RACHETTE.” Gadget and Rivet were me. Sucks to have my work erased.
The number of times I've brought these images up at various workplaces...
"She has to have a Female body shape or else how will people know she's Female"

“At a time where story treatments were being rapidly iterated on” — who wrote every single one of those story treatments? It wasn’t Mark! It was me, actually. I worked my ass off on this game for a long time and it’s misogynist erasure like this that makes my blood boil.
Thank you for helping and I make this very important Personal Announcement today 🧡🤍💖

Yes! And I had no idea why so I answered quickly and loudly and then he kind of looked beyond me so I turned around and there he was drinking some wine
What’s the worst way you’ve ever been rejected for a job? Mine is when I auditioned to be a host for a Canadian tech giant at E3, and they called me up after and said “Great news - we found our dream host!”
And then they said “um, unfortunately you... were our SECOND dream host”

The number of women I know who legally cannot share their stories because they've been wrongfully terminated due to sexism and then received settlements from the company WHICH INCLUDE GAG ORDERS SO THEY CAN NEVER TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE... it's a lot. IT'S A LOT.
Salarians after I cure the genophage and they tell me that it’ll be my fault when the krogan wipe out their race #masseffect3

Happy #NationalComingOutDay! Turns out, all this time, I’ve been extremely a lesbian!! Great stuff, actually! It rules!! 🧡🤍💖
It’s been a long, tough journey and I’ve gotten here pretty late in life, but it felt important to share. I’m proud about it, and I love you.

Mark had a massive issue with me the entire time I was on this project and consistently attempted to undermine me so I’m not surprised he’s decided to take unilateral credit for my work now that it’s been praised as successful :) this is what it’s like being a woman in games.

this article sucks actually, and I like you guys. real fucking bummer to read an article that shits on research, cultural sensitivity, and all the hard work that goes into game dev. jobs are hard. cool jobs are hard. this shit's reductive and i gotta defend our work here.
What are your four “comfort movies” of any genre? Movies that you’ll never get sick of no matter how much you watch them and that put you in a better mood by watching them. Here’s mine!

Two days ago, I decided to stop doing the dishes. I make all the dinners and I am tired of having to do all the cleaning too. SINCE THEN this pile has appeared and at some point they are going to run out of spoons and cups and plates.
Who will blink first? Not me.
Could not be more honored and excited to be part of an INCREDIBLE team at to remake one of my all-time favorite games!!
