Free advice from @BioWare's General Manager at #EA DevCon 2016 http://soch.us/1SssRFY  #eainsider

 

 

 

 

Name: Aaryn Flynn

 

Role: I am the general manager for BioWare. I oversee development at our three locations in Edmonton, Austin, and Montreal, where we work on Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and new IP.

 

How I Got My Start: I started as a programmer (engineer) 16 years ago at BioWare. I worked on tools that our artists and designers used to make Baldur’s Gate II.

 

Since then, my role has shifted from a front-line developer to a manager of multiple teams at multiple locations. It’s been a big shift full of lessons, mistakes, successes, and a lot of fulfilling work.

 

Free Advice: I would remind myself that the difficult times pass and to stay true to what your fans and players want. When an all else fails, you can lean on that relationship.

Well, Oghren does use nug humper as one of his insults, and both Oghren and Grunt are voiced by the same VA. It makes a certain amount of sense.

In Canada, a sure sign of spring is the nest of a Canada goose. BioWare Edmonton is often visited by a couple of geese in the spring; for a few days, Twitter is awash with pictures of our favorite visitors. This year, the cheeky pair have chosen the roof of the BioWare Edmonton studio for their nest.

Ganders, the female, sits on her nest atop the studio, patiently incubating her eggs while her hubby the Arishonk protects the nest from a distance. How many eggs did Ganders lay? When will they hatch? Do geese like Mass Effect? From 1-10, how cute is a baby goose? To satisfy our desperate need to answer these questions, we’ve set up the BioWare Goose Cam, which will monitor Ganders 24/7 as she tends to her nest. We hope you watch it too.

If you’ve enjoyed keeping updated on Ganders and her nest, or are a believer in responsible environmental stewardship, consider donating to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Edmonton. The WRSE is a non-profit organization that contributes to environmental stewardship by providing care for injured and orphaned wildlife in the Edmonton area.

Poor nug, they would get squished in a second. Leliana probably wouldn't approve.

Wasn't there a picture posted a while back that looked pretty much like that symbol, just grey and with a very low contrast so it was difficult to make out? I don't remember the context of it, but maybe it could help in figuring out what this means (if anything).

Man, even with it having been fairly obvious that they were Working on Things, seeing physical evidence of it still feels so good.

Recreational drinking can be dangerous since foxes go on fire while playing chess. Got it.

I wish I had what it takes. Sadly, healthcare and video game development are two very different occupational entities.

Why is the wolf on fire, though?   And decapitated?

So that's why he's showing us the DA4 game bible or an alpha of WoT v3 or w/e that was? We should find out what Mark likes to drink and send him a care package. lol

 

I kid, I kid. Mostly.

Hmm...

 

Wolf on fire = Hot Dog...?

At a castle.

 

It's Bunson The Hot Dog's Castle from Yoshi's Wooly World!

Apparently the next game is all about dogs playing chess.
