New Exhibit:Play Collection 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ focused game narratives that use the artstyle and mechanics of a retro Game Boy game. All of these can be found on @itch.io and most are made with @gbstudio.dev which means you can even play them on a physical Game Boy.

One element of the Dragon Age story that I want to emphasize: If the team had known in 2021 (after the single-player pivot) that they'd ship in Oct 2024, it'd be a much different game. Instead they were always under the impression they had to finish in 6-12 months, which led to all sorts of problems

Mass Effect got me to play more RPGs, leading me on my path to becoming a dev. My “dream” job was to work at Bioware and learn from skilled people who made something that changed my life. Now they’re all gone, because EA couldn’t let an RPG focused studio (that they bought!) cook

The reason we make games about immigrant food is because food is is the first step in connecting with culture. People will accept immigrant food before they accept the people that make it. You can’t separate the two. We got to celebrate our game in LA this week despite the anti-immigrant assholes.
