    1. i am so sad to hear that Die Gute Fabrik has stopped operations. as you may or may not know, I worked for them yeeeears ago, on Mutazione, and since leaving have watched them soar, releasing some real good games & being incredibly thoughtful about the way they work.

    so let's mention some people i have worked with, who are now available to hire & who you should absolutely snap up if you have a space for them

      that the thing about operating thoughtfully? well, a lot of that is down to Hannah. both in operating a company, but also in crafting a good game narrative. i mean, you know this, she literally wrote the book on it (Writing for Games: Theory and Practice) @hannahnicklin/1762117103631425801

        i worked directly with @NilsDeneken on Mutazione. and, god, what a treat it was, when i was rigging up scenes and fixing offsets on plants, to get to look at his art that whole time. to live, for a few hours at a time, in the worlds he created.

          @NilsDeneken look i literally employed @angusdick like two weeks ago. i said "hey can you make some stupid games for Downpour, do some fun drawings and add some jokes and also make them work to teach people how to use it". and... he knocked it out the park. look: downpour.games/~angusdick

            @NilsDeneken @angusdick (and he is, y'know, a great animator, too. i guess that bit is the main thing he can do)

              anyway, yeah, all three very talented people, who can do their specific jobs at the highest level and also think about the larger picture and what the game actually needs and will try to get that sorted.

                i hear the rest of the team is stellar, too, but i haven't worked with them directly like these three. anyway, you can go see stuff about them here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AbCSvTrzOScGDVzQIqVzLiT6iXZunFacp1kFGNFPKM8/edit#gid=0
