Robin-Yann is my go to for good UX and tool design, and I'm so sick of how difficult to use dev tools are from an accessibility standpoint - especially in house tools. If anyone in my network wants to do a collab, he's your tools expert!
Is there any accessibility consultant or designer who is willing to work with me on a talk or article about the accessibility of game development tools? No budget, just trying to do the right thing and get it out there.
I don't feel like I can talk about it enough on my own. I miss lived experience

This is probably one of the coolest features we're cooking with Dawn of War IV, if I say so myself.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is a series known for its brutal kill animations and intense battlefield atmosphere.
We got a chance to chat with Thomas Derksen, animation director on Dawn of War 4, about how King Art Games is taking the animations to the next level. https://bit.ly/45KwrKt

When King Art Games was handed the task of bringing Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War back, there were a lot of decisions to navigate and an eager fanbase to face.
We recently spoke with the Creative Director and Senior Game Designer about the path Dawn of War 4 is taking. https://bit.ly/49NqezO

I got to visit King Art Games and talk about Dawn of War 4 pretty extensively. I also played a fair bit of the campaign. Keep an eye out this month for lots of Dawn of War stuff!
Our month of exclusive IGN First coverage of Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4 is underway!
Warhammer games always seem to get great cinematic/CGI trailers. Here's an awesome one showing off the Ork faction: www.ign.com/articles/war...

Hi everyone, I'm urgently looking for any work. I'm a writer and narrative designer, I offer game consultations and mock reviews, I localise between German and English, I can write copy. If it needs words, I'll do it! Here's some games I've written on in the past:
