FREE UPDATE? I’M SEATED

A huge shout out to @nathalietay.bsky.social for organizing Indie Jam and giving all of us an excuse to meet up in KL πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ It’s slowly becoming one of my favorite events in the SEA games circuit - connecting amazing publishers and ecosystem players to a hyper local developer audience.

I'm joining in After Jam on May 1st, 4PM! We'll be sharing stories from the event + checking out these games: ✨ Building Relationships ✨ Mythical Dateline ✨ Cerebral Escape Series ✨ & more if we have the time! πŸ”— twitch.tv/nathalietay_

Indie Jam weekend may be over, but After Jam is just beginning! ✨ Join these amazing streamers on Twitch & Youtube as they check out games directly from the Indie Jam 2025 showcase -- with even more streams happening now until Sunday! πŸ’˜ πŸ“… Monday, April 28th:

Both @antioedipus3000.bsky.social and I planned our joint birthday party around Indie Jam Weekend so that we could celebrate with some of our closest friends in the Southeast Asian games industry πŸ₯³ Huge props to the amazing @soyacomu.bsky.social for commemorating the celebration ✨

Flying to Msia for Indie Jam. Excited by the growth of this amazing indie games event put on by @themagicrainmy.bsky.social and @nathalietay.bsky.social As @xbox.com we are proud to do our part to support the growth of such an important event for the Malaysian and Southeast Asian game dev scene.

if Meta Business Suite has a million haters, i am one of them. if Meta Business Suite has ten haters i am one of them. if Meta Business Suite has only one hater, that is me. if Meta Business Suite has no haters, that means i am no more on the earth. till my last breath i'll hate Meta Business Suite.

I'm going to have a small table at Indie Jam 2025 this weekend (26-27 April at Xsolla Curine Academy), peddling TTRPG books and zines (maybe a new zine release?). Come on by and say hi, and check out all the other indie videogames!

🎀 In just a few days, I’ll be in KL, Malaysia to give a talk on working with influencers β€” plus I’ll be doing mentorship sessions with local talent πŸŽ“ We’ve also teamed up with @themagicrainmy.bsky.social, @sspublishing.bsky.social, and Kaigan to host a Networking Event for streamers and media πŸŽ‰

In my dream world, I just get to play cool indie games and watch cool shows and wax poetic about them online in an endless loop and do absolutely nothing else

THE PRINCESS IS HOME πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the idea of people actually flying in for Indie Jam
