An exciting announcement: I am now Lead Quest Designer on
@Warcraft
!
It has been so amazing to see everyone enjoying Shadowlands. Excited to help the ever-amazing Quest team make even more awesome things!
Lok-tar!
Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
I'm a Senior Game Designer on
#Warcraft
, and I've been on WoW for about 7 years - plus 3 internships.
My first major project was initial design on Pet Battles. Since then, if you like Artifacts, Class Halls, or various zones - that's my jam!
#MeetTheDev
It was the hardest decision I've ever made, but today was my last day at
@Blizzard_Ent
. I started as an intern 12 years ago and had so many wonderful experiences with SO many talented awesome humans. I'll miss them all more than I can say.
Details on my next adventure Soon(TM).
I am proud to announce that I have been promoted to Senior Game Designer on the World of
@Warcraft
team!
It has been an incredible journey filling Azeroth (and Argus) with awesome stories. Thank you to everyone that's been a part of it - looking forward to the next chapter!
Commit to Quality is in bronze by the orc for a reason. This is

.
I am proud of our leadership and the company for having our backs, but most especially of all the incredibly talented people focused on making Shadowlands the best damn game out there.
Lok-tar.
Super happy to announce that I was promoted to Senior Game Designer II on
@Warcraft
! Excited to keep making awesome stuff with the Quest Team!
I'm still functioning as Lead Quest Designer. That is my role on the team, whereas Senior II is my title at Blizz!
Watching people on the Vindicaar for the first time immediately run up and press their faces against the glass to see Azeroth is one of my most cherished memories as a designer.
It took quite a lot of back and forth to get that shot just so. Totally worth it.
The
#Taiwan
launch event for
#BattleForAzeroth
was EPIC!
Players made their own faction t-shirts, got caricatures of them in
@Warcraft
, put on temp tattoos, and forged their weapons for the Box War!
Me? I finally became Anduin IRL and fought on the Alliance to Box War victory!
Excited to share that today was my first day in my new role as Lead Quest Designer on
#Fortnite
at Epic Games!
I can't wait to drop in and make some *epic* stuff!
Every expansion is a labor of love. I've put in an absolute ton of work into
#Shadowlands
alongside some of the most talented people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Can't wait for everyone to join us. This is going to be a good one.
#Warcraft
Since it's in the credits it's probably about time I share that I have accepted a new role on the
#Warcraft
team as Assistant Lead Quest Designer!
I'm beyond excited to help the ever amazing Quest team create epic stories, characters, and gameplay for you all to enjoy!
It would be wild if we just... let the players decide the next
#Warcraft
mount?
And then just... give it away?
We would never do such a thing, right?
Unless...

If you have ever played
@Warcraft
then you have heard my voice on young male gnome NPCs all across Azeroth. Somewhere along the way I started making content instead, and it's been a literal lifelong dream come true.
See you in
#WoWClassic
, heroes. Make sure you /hail me!
The Blizz survival game was fantastic, the team behind it even more fantastic, and it is our collective loss to never be able to experience it as a finished piece.
I didn't overlap with a lot of the team, but when you're ready would love to help if I can.
Incredibly proud of all of the work that the team put in on
@Warcraft
Chains of Domination.
From stories, to secrets, to Sylvanas herself, I'm so excited for everyone to join us in Korthia!
We all know the Jainas and Saurfangs of
#Warcraft
, but the world is so much bigger than that.
Who are your favorite "B-Listers" in Azeroth? Maybe they've been around for years, maybe they only appeared one time in a side quest. Why them?
We set out to tell a challenging story in Bastion. We really wanted the Kyrian and the Forsworn to be deeper than 'good vs. evil' - for people to see pros and cons of both, and to help the Kyrian grow over time as a people.
I'm really happy with where it landed.
#Shadowlands
Hey there
@Warcraft
and
#GameDev
friends - we're looking for Quest Designers to join us in crafting the next chapter of Azeroth's story!
Especially interested in finding people from diverse backgrounds who can tell stories from different perspectives. Ones we haven't heard yet!
I get it, guys. Bastion is cool, you're hyped, but you're ready for something different. Something... elegant. Something... dare I say, gothic?
Check out Revendreth and the Venthyr Covenant!
#Warcraft
The people I work with have been working ludicrously hard to simultaneously make the video game while also improving conditions, processes, inclusion, and more. Every single day. And we've made some great progress!
So yeah this fucking sucks and flies in the face of all that.
Today is a Very Good Day(TM) in Bastion.
There is no greater joy as a developer than watching people play through the result of so much hard work and passion from so many talented people. Far too many to list.
So endlessly proud of everyone involved.
#Wacraft
Let's settle this once and for all. Who is the best
#Warcraft
character of all time and why?
Spoilers: It's the Lich King. No other character has had such a continued, lasting, and profound impact on the world of Warcraft.
In the end all must serve the one true king.
Shadowlands has been out for solid bit now, and I'm still so proud of what we were able to create.
What has grown on you as you've played? A character? A feature? A place? Sashaying left?
The World of

You turn the corner, panting as the walls narrow with every step. A clatter averts your gaze momentarily, and as you turn back down the hall, you see a pair of blood red eyes peering back from the darkness. Then, you hear it...

If I could give only one piece of advice for
#gamedev
, it would be to assume good intent.
Trust that your coworkers are knowledgeable and skilled. That their questions or feedback come from a desire to make your game awesome.
It will frame discussions way more constructively.
Eight years ago I started my journey as a professional game designer. Three

team and my Blizzard fam have pushed me further than I ever thought possible. I am eternally grateful and honored. For Azeroth!
#BlizzLife
Been busy making sure everything is in working order, but I sincerely hope you've enjoyed the Bastion level-up experience if you've gotten to play!
We really put our hearts and souls into making it an awesome experience. Incredibly proud of everyone on the team.
#Shadowlands
Every time someone sees one of the

#Pride
shirts they ask 'where can I get one?!' *Especially* when our very own JAB wore it at Blizzconline.
Our LGBT+ Leadership Team is so proud to announce that you finally can! This was 100% employee-driven!
Can we talk about how awesome
#Diablo4
and
#Overwatch2
are?! I'm obviously hyped about
#Shadowlands
, but the Diablo and OW teams absolutely killed it at
#BlizzCon
this weekend and deserve just as much love!
It's an amazing time to be a Blizzard gamer!
Stormsong Valley is a happy farmland where Kul Tirans retire in peace. It is not in any way, shape, or form about tentacles, tentacles, 'dark secrets', or tentacles.
@Warcraft
Excited to share that I've been promoted to Seasonal Engagement Director on Fortnite! We're doing so many amazing things and I am proud to play a part in helping players experience them.
My team is the absolute best, as are all the people we work with every day. Love what I do!
Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
I'm a Lead Quest Designer on Fortnite at Epic Games, and before that on WoW at Blizzard. I love worldbuilding and guiding players' progress through that world through content and systems. It's great!
I also have an adorable pup!
#WhatAGameDevLooksLike
The Threads of Fate is a new leveling system in
#Shadowlands
that allows alt characters to level in the most recent expansion by completing World Quests, Dungeons and zone objectives, akin to Diablo III's Adventure Mode.
You know those moments that can shape the course of the rest of your life?
This is one of them. It shaped mine - it can shape yours.
Apply. Finish that website you've been procrastinating. Update your resume.
Once you're here, let's get coffee.
As the zone content lead for Bastion, I invite you to check out our demo playable on the show floor all weekend! We've been putting a TON of love into
#Shadowlands
- can't wait to hear your reactions!!!

#BlizzCon
Prepare yourselves, the bells have tolled! Shelter your weak, your young and your old! Each of you shall pay the final sum! Cry for mercy; the reckoning has come! 🎃
Our writers are so amazing and I’m so hype for y’all to dig into the story but also I named Peabody and I can’t help but be proud of that lil contribution 🫛
There's no greater honor than to be a part of the World of
@Warcraft
team. Azeroth is a rich world with so many stories to tell, so many characters to meet (and maybe kill), and so many real lives that have been touched. How has WoW and Warcraft been a part of your life?
Today was a huge day. At long last, all of the incredible content many ridiculously talented people worked on to bring Argus to
#warcraft
is out there for you to enjoy. Thank you to all of my fellow developers for the horrors we have wrought, and to you for playing!
So a few weeks ago we talked about favorite 'B-listers' in
@Warcraft
and it was awesome!
What about the nobodies? That vendor in a forgotten corner of Stormwind? The tauren with no interactions at all in a remote town that stands out in your mind just a bit?
Hi! Are you interested in working on one of the most legendary games of all time with a close-knit team of creative powerhouses? Do you weave the art and science of game design to tell awesome stories? The World of
#Warcraft
Quest Team is hiring!
It is so incredible to be nominated for the

If you joined the Kyrian Covenant in
#Shadowlands
and haven't been reading spoilers, wow oh wow are you in for a treat. I am SUPER happy with our covenant campaign and it starts off strong let me tell you.
Even if you did read spoilers, it really came together at the end. Oh man
A while ago my level design partner and I gave a presentation to the WoW team on Bastion's development.
At the end we asked everyone who touched the zone in some way to raise their hands.
Nearly everyone did. We all collaborate on everything, no matter our daily focus.
#GameDev
Thankful for the overwhelmingly positive people that follow me. I can seldom talk about what I'm actively working on, but know that I put in everything I have every single day to make
#Warcraft
awesome. Cheers to
