Hey game dev folks!

My name is Marcus Montgomery. I’m a veteran game designer who is currently trying to find funding for my own studio @cstoneintstudio.bsky.social.

I’ve worked at Xbox, Meta, Sony, Glu, and a myriad of other places. Happy to be included.

I think it may be harder right now given the funding climate. It's a great time to start a game company! Let's talk about it.@cstoneintstudio #gamedev #startup

Going to start documenting our game startup journey. We want to pull the curtain back a bit on what it's like for us. Partly for insights... partly for feedback... mostly for support. Let me know what you think! More updates @cstoneintstudio on social media. www.instagram.com/reel/DVF5GFP...

Consume Me on Steam did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!

Can we talk about how amazing and special Consume Me is by @qdork.bsky.social? It was one of my favorite games from last year. Clever, sincere, and thoughtfully created mini games. Definitely deserves more attention. store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/...

There are a couple real gems in there. The Exploding Judo game, the Nova, and 52Beatups. Want to learn more. Working on a demo for my own game now. Hopefully do a soft announce soon.

Friends and colleagues,

I was impacted by the Xbox layoffs back in July. I'm am starting my job search in earnest now. Feel free to contact me with any opportunities in game design leadership and creative direction. (Or any other game design opportunities. Can't be too picky these days.)
