Small thing in the grand scheme of things but I'm really happy that Tencent are sponsoring @gaconf.bsky.social this year. Sponsorships of course help these events happen but also show a commitment to aligning the business with important values. Glad we made it happen! www.gaconf.com/sponsors/

Agreed that this is a helpful feature — I asked Avowed’s Production Director, Ryan Warden, about it last year! The in-conversation lore system came from early playtesting, and then the team borrowed the technology used in Pentiment. www.gadgetguy.com.au/avowed-previ...

It's almost as if the game was play-tested with children before it released! 😉

Sunk sooooo many hours into the demo of this ‘game’. Probably should have purchased the full thing but 7/8 y.o. me was quite content with it.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... It can be easy to forget these extreme, but common, cases of people with disabilities being treated without dignity. Personally it puts it in perspective the sort of work I try to do. I help design for inclusion but some are not given the chance to even be included.

Another great year for accessibility exemplified in the sheer range of talented studios and individuals up for these awards. It's so good to have a dedicated, regular awards ceremony for this field too. Some tough votes to make!
