NEXT: Duane Loose Joins GameCloud
Yogi Berra once said: “When you see a crossroads…Take It!” or something like that.
Not so much a crossroads as an opportunity that is too good to pass up: I’m joining GameCloud/Augmentum as a Senior Art Director in a start-up game studio they’re establishing in, of all places, Temecula. 20 minutes down the road.
They are a fine company, led by great people and I know I’m going to enjoy this next step in the journey.
alphaZED will continue to exist as my personal website. I have stories to tell, tools to learn and art to make – not to mention the odd opinion here and there. So please feel free to stop by now and then for the further adventures of Insane Duane. Weed Pottle will continue to master the website. He was doing it for free anyhow.
I have to say that I’m grateful for the many people who have helped me on the way in the past 3 years. Thanks to all. I’ve learned a lot of important lessons, some of them twice.
See you around the blogiverse

Product Design must transform to be a single holistic UX continuum in order to leverage the power of our audience and provide a product story they believe in, understand, embrace and, more importantly, champion. › Continue reading
aZs: Site Update
During a recent migration by our ISP the alphaZED studios site was broken - some un-fixable corruption of the WP database.
So, we’re rebuilding it…piece by piece.
