Just finished my 20th completed game jam!

This was my first Down2Jam, and I teamed up with James Krasner ‪@jameskrasner‬ and MarkAis ‪@bore_inc‬ to make Big Stretch.

Honestly, this might be one of the best jams I’ve done. Really enjoyed working with this team and seeing what we could make in such a short time.

Down2Jam is still very new, so if you’re into game jams, go check it out!

I’m going to GameSoundCon for the first time this year, and I’ll also be speaking! I’ll be joining my friends Kyle Martin Cora, Tony Manfredonia, and Star Victoria Power for:

The Dunning-Kruger Effect: What We Did Wrong in Our Early Years

We’ll be talking about some of the mistakes, overconfidence, bad decisions, and unexpected lessons from the early stages of our careers in game audio, and how those experiences shaped the way we work today.

I've always wanted to check out GSC so I'm excited to finally see what it's like, make new friends and bump into old ones! See you there! 🎮🎶

I’m doing something a little different with Game Audio Boston this month!

I was originally going to give a talk about game jams, but instead we decided to turn it into an actual Game Audio Jam. 🎶

On September 29th at 7PM EDT, I’ll be talking about my own experiences with game jams, why I think they’re valuable, and how they can lead to opportunities, collaborations, and careers in games. Then we’ll kick off the jam! You’ll get some game clips and a week to make something with them. No prizes, judging or competition. Just an opportunity to make something, experiment, and have some fun with audio!

Would love to see some of you there! 🥳

I started writing my book about game jams from a game audio perspective! If this is a topic you're interested in, which best describes you?

I’m happy to share that I’m now a Mentor for Always Supporting the Games Community (ASGC)! 🎮

ASGC is a community dedicated to helping people build careers in the games industry, and I’m really looking forward to being part of it.

Mentorship and community have played a huge role in my own journey into game audio. I’ve had so many people share their knowledge and give me a helping hand along the way, so I’m really happy to have the opportunity to pay some of that forward and support the next generation of game audio professionals.

A huge thank you to ‪@AmirSatvat‬ for the work you do to support people pursuing careers in games. Happy to contribute! 🫡
