Dat cinematic tho. (No spoilers here.)

I do find it pretty interesting how people react when they don’t have 3 months of no-context datamining and streamers telling them how to feel about the story. Watching genuine, immediate reactions to the story was pretty gratifying. There are still going to be a variety of opinions on the direction and contents of the story, but for the most part I feel encryption was a net gain for us as storytellers.

It’s time for another round of Show Me Your [Allied Race]! As you create new Zandalari or Kul Tirans, please reply or reblog this post with their name, description, and/or a screenshot so I can share their beautiful faces on my blog. Preemptively, they are perfect.

Nothing quite like ending a day with your bug list empty, your task list complete, and doing so well before hitting overtime.

Game design can be intensely stressful, no doubt, but ultimately the payoff comes when you get to look back on what you made and see the finished product. I’m not quite there yet, but today was a significant milestone in the process for this thing I’m working on. :) I can see the finish line now, at least!

Today, in the Quest Pit

“I’m gonna turn that bench into a missile. Benches love missiles.”

I got paid a non-zero amount of money to write and implement not one, not two, but THREE baby dinosaurs. Points to you if you can identify all three~

Rise of Azshara Features Trailer – Arriving June 25!

Something sinister churns beneath the waves—the Queen of Tides’ return is imminent!

So this is a thing, in case you didn’t know~

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been all this time, it’s mostly just... not on tumblr.

I snuck some content into 8.2 to keep an eye out for... mostly involving two specific dinosaurs, one of which who does in fact learn to fly, and I have some stuff in future patches that might be kinda cool. We’ll see.

Excited for the Blizzcon announcement, and Blizzcon in general, and I am (still) looking into what a more official quest Blizzcon meeting might look like. If I can rope the whole team into doing it, that’d be cool. I continue to nag.
