Credits

I attribute almost everything I know to the industry vets who helped me learn and grow over the last couple of years. This site wouldn’t exist without them.

Here’s a list of mentors who gave their time through conversations and email exchanges. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

 

• Justen Andrews (Justen deserves a special shoutout. He worked with me through numerous calls and Discord chats, and he guided me through various production hurdles with Railgun Games’ Deathland Drifters. He's been a terrific mentor.)

• Rachael Berkman

• Fleur Marty

• Aaron Price

• Daniel Lyozov

• Cam Moeller

• Evgeniya Tokareva

• Jules Tong

• Donald Harris

• Herb Liu

• John Eternal

• Sydney Stockdale

• Kelsey Fox Reyes

 

Credit also belongs to the resources I learned from. A complete list can be found here.
