This Month: Reese Valentine (They/Them)

Scoping for Sustainability

Reese likes to think Sustainability and Production are one and the same. They will cover a handful of tools that you can use for your projects to manage scope and to keep you flexible, which in turn will lead to a more sustainable practice.

Reese Valentine is queer, trans masc, & a founder of Amelore: a worker owned game studio that focuses on thoughtfully crafted stories & digital media. They are passionate about studio development, all workers having a healthy worklife balance, and peer supporting other games cooperatives. Reese wears many hats, a small selection including bizdev, production, & rigging/animation.

Announcements & Plug My Thing

At the beginning of our in-person meetings, we like to put a call out for game trailers, demo reels, and other short game development related announcements. Please come 15min early or contact us (Discord is best) beforehand if you can!
