Leadership Letters
 Game designers write to their past selves

Submit a Letter


We are always happy to receive new letters from lead game designers and directors. It can be an difficult job, for often unexpected reasons, and the nature of the role can leave people isolated with their struggle. Our goal is to grow a body of work that can provide support in those times of need.

Given the amount of knowledge and perspective that can be brought to bear on something like this, figuring out where to start (and how to keep it in scope!) can be intimidating. If you find yourself stuck in that position, please consider starting from this prompt:

"What's the one thing you would tell yourself on the day you became a lead designer?"

Submitted letters will be reviewed by our loose collective of fellow directors and leads prior to being published on this site.


Your Name
