Dawn of War IV is an attempt to reinterpret the original game through a modern lens, but there's a lot in here that's also Dawn of War II, so in a sense, this is looking like it could be the release Dawn of War III wanted to be. My preview: www.gamespot.com/articles/war...

In this exclusive interview with director Jan Theysen, we go into detail on how the Space Marines actually work in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4. https://bit.ly/4jqlTrR

Gamescom is a demanding environment both physically and emotionally, but meeting and hanging out with industry peers and friends makes every minute being there worth it. โค

Got to chat a bit about the Necrons' super unit, as well as put my lore knowledge to the test, for Dawn of War IV! #DOW4

Your most powerful Necron unit in Dawn of War 4 is a sentient shard of a dead star god, and boy does he hate you. https://bit.ly/4bOkyWY

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. Iโ€™ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.

I have done a lot of gamedev student portfolio reviews over the years. I am often giving the same advice, so to help as many students as possible I am organizing a live digital portfolio review where everyone can watch the feedback. It's scheduled for July 6th: www.eventbrite.nl/e/game-dev-s...

There's a lot I like about 007 First Light but a special shout-out is in order for the person(s) who wrote Bond's barks. Can imagine writing lines for a character that is already 80% quips by volume is a special kind of joy.

Robin-Yann is my go to for good UX and tool design, and I'm so sick of how difficult to use dev tools are from an accessibility standpoint - especially in house tools. If anyone in my network wants to do a collab, he's your tools expert!

Robin-Yann Storm@rystorm.com

Is there any accessibility consultant or designer who is willing to work with me on a talk or article about the accessibility of game development tools? No budget, just trying to do the right thing and get it out there. I don't feel like I can talk about it enough on my own. I miss lived experience

This is probably one of the coolest features we're cooking with Dawn of War IV, if I say so myself. #DOW4

IGN@ign.com

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is a series known for its brutal kill animations and intense battlefield atmosphere. We got a chance to chat with Thomas Derksen, animation director on Dawn of War 4, about how King Art Games is taking the animations to the next level. https://bit.ly/45KwrKt

Read (or watch) how we're building Dawn of War IV for audiences both new and old featuring our creative director and yours truly! #DOW4

When King Art Games was handed the task of bringing Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War back, there were a lot of decisions to navigate and an eager fanbase to face. We recently spoke with the Creative Director and Senior Game Designer about the path Dawn of War 4 is taking. https://bit.ly/49NqezO

I got to visit King Art Games and talk about Dawn of War 4 pretty extensively. I also played a fair bit of the campaign. Keep an eye out this month for lots of Dawn of War stuff!

Our month of exclusive IGN First coverage of Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4 is underway! Warhammer games always seem to get great cinematic/CGI trailers. Here's an awesome one showing off the Ork faction: www.ign.com/articles/war...

If youโ€™re a designer in the game industry, please fill this in to help the next generation: forms.office.com/pages/respon... Because my old university is wondering: In a constrained 4-year timeline, which roles, skills, and experiences are most critical for a graduate's employability in your sector?
