I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

Why do so many Halloween decorations involve characters sitting on toilets with their pants on. Have we decided pooping with our pants on is scary now. I guess it is

Now that the new massive Nighthaven update for New World: Aeternum is out I can share some new animation work I got to do! I've updated my demo reel with a bunch of new animations which are only a fraction of everything I animated on the project. #portfolioday

Yes I got to animate another birdman!

Songbirds is my dungeon crawler game that is more persona and disco elysium than it is DnD. Look at this shit: weird classes, survival-horror style dungeons, body mods and magic.
