A lot of really cool people poured a their souls into making this next season, and I hope you'll join me in honoring their hard work when it launches!
Congratulations to those who have solved the final puzzle of the Imbaru Engine.
Season of the Wish arrives on November 28. Until then, O Guardian Mine.

What crushes me the most about all the layoffs happening is that there are people who are JUST STARTING their careers being caught up in this. Junior devs who finally broke into the industry getting cut and competing with veterans for jobs. What do they do?

@Bungie
I've been in the gaming industry for 10 years! I moved from engineering to production, and the pictures below are my last role as an engineer (Pokemon) and my first role as a producer (31st Union):

I've been at Bungie for just under 3 months and today is the first day that I -really- feel like I'm a game developer since joining. So exciting! But, always gotta stay humble. There's so much about game dev that I still need to learn and master!

I've been in games for about 11 years now, and this was the first time I've been part of the announcement of a AAA game and I'm just flabbergasted that we're here now. I went through some Stuff to get here, but here at Bungie, I've been welcomed to be a part of this. 1/2

Hey everyone! I'm Daryl, and I'm a Producer at Bungie working on some secret stuff. I enjoy gaming (mainly FPSes and RPGs) and most of the media that comes from Japan. I got my start in games as an engineer in mobile games.

Your regular reminder that QA/Community team members are the underappreciated heroes of any game team/studio. Very rarely do people outside of the dev group give them the thanks they deserve and it makes me sad.

dmg continuing to spit straight fire. The games you love are only as good as they are because of QA and a bunch of disciplines that are never mentioned in the discussion of game dev. Respect them all.
“Test should be the first to go”
Test is the most undervalued, understaffed, disrespected org in gaming (IMO).
Games would not ship without QA.
They discover and report upon an endless number of bugs in content, suggest (and in many cases implement) fixes.

Just gonna take this moment to say that everyone who contributes to making a game is a game dev. This includes QA, Player Support, Marketing, Production... every single person that contributes to the product you see is a dev. This is a -fact-.

I'm gonna pile on the "gush about my Executive Producer" train.
Carrie has been an incredible mentor and coach since even before I joined the team. She constantly reinforces the best traits of everyone in our team and puts up with my shenanigans. :P
Thank you, Carrie!
I have to gush about Carrie for a second. She has made this project the best I've ever been apart of.
Her door is always open to listen to feedback, or to hear me vent about something. She's always looking out for us.

Might seem like an odd metric, but I judge my success in my career by what the reaction of 15 year old me would think if I could explain to him where I am. Would he be proud? Shocked? Flabbergasted? It feels like a pure litmus test of how my goals have changed.
