Whenever you see me not posting updates or game dev jokes, it's because I'm making space for others who have meaningful things to say about current events. It's so hard to continue "business as usual" when you're feeling so much.

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

Just watched FACE2FACE, a found footage screenspace movie that is NOT horror but still real life scary and well-made. I was sobbing by the end, really surprised me.

Want to be a better ally but not sure where to start? Here are 4 things you could start doing right now: 1.) Speak up for trans rights. If you are a games studio, use your social platforms to support your trans employees. Visibility and allyship from cis people is more important than ever.

There's a huge gap between making no money and your first sale. An even larger one between finishing a game and never starting. Celebrate where you currently are. If you're always comparing yourself against the most successful games, you'll crush what you need to create one yourself. #gamedev

Today's mission is simple: fix all the fast tiny bugs to build enough confidence for the REALLY HARD stuff. In my case, that means prepping our build pipeline for playtesting and planning our PR strategy. that was a lot of Ps. #gamedev #indiedev #peoplewhoenjoybusinessandPRarecoolerthanme

love this advice! If I may add on: stick to your strengths. If you're more of an artist than a programmer, solve problems with more art rather than more features.

The two ways I know I've been hustling the last two weeks: the build is more fun (funner?) every day. And... the muscles in my mouse index finger are begging for mercy?! #gamedev #musclesyouneverthinkabout

Hey artists! 👋 That art share you’re hosting belongs in a museum! 💙 We’re building a little game that lets you link a Bluesky feed or post and it will display your images in an art gallery. Just like Bluesky, it hides posts for logged-out viewers if you have visibility off. 🙂 #screenshotsaturday

Sure, there's amazing games out there offering a satisfying grind but have you tried the addictive game loop of playing your own game until a bug makes your heart sink, then fixing it and trying again #gamedev #indiegame

Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit. The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots. Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare. 🧪🦜 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Sometimes I look at a mountain of tedious tasks and think about my cosplay days. I hand painted 50 silver buttons. Typing up card data is no problem. One of our greatest feats was the 8 foot wide Katamari ball. Ever since, that's been my proof that I can do anything if I keep going. #gamedev
