This #TransDayofVisibility we’ve collated a definitive list of 90+ trans games throughout history. Almost 100 games by trans developers and/or with trans representation. Featuring games from: @deconstructeam.bsky.social @maddymakesgames.com and many others 🏳️‍⚧️ checkpointgaming.net/features/202...

Might play some Shadows for a bit! www.twitch.tv/NikPantis?sr=a

I think my rebellious streak in life all started when I first played Jet Set Radio Future

Spring is so close here. The snow is melting for real this time!

And an especially good day to the @assassinscreed game account social team and to the @assassinscreed game account social team only 🧑‍🍳😘

In case you missed it

More time to apply for the virtual exchange! This program made my world and life so much bigger. Check it out.

This is one of the most rewarding programs I have ever done and I credit a lot of the good stuff that happened to me to this program (and also my hard work! But the program also definitely helped me work hard and work smart!)

Hey you, yeah you! Do this thing you won’t regret it

Application period for the @igdafoundation.org VE has been extended! This 6-week online program supports game devs from underrepresented communities around the world 🌏 ✨ Curated panels & workshops 🤝🏻 1:1 mentorship 🕒 Light time commitment (~2–3 hours/week in Aug–Sept) 💫 Pls RT 💫

I miss my home, I miss my family, I miss my friends.

"So just how much zoom zoom and pew pew is there in Rogue Eclipse?" "Yes." 😎🚀💥 bit.ly/4bRLumD #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

I'm so tired and my feet are sore so I guess it was another good gdc :)

Happy Assassin’s Creed Shadows launch day! So proud to have contributed to this massive game - it's definitely been the most complex and most ambitious project I've ever worked on. I'm lucky to have worked with some of the best devs in the biz! 😍 #AssassinsCreedShadows #AssassinsCreed

Correction: the United Video Game Union (UVW) under the @cwaunion.bsky.social launched today at #GDC2025 and after a panel, marched to nearby Yerba Buena gardens

Game workers in the US and Canada launch industry-wide union to fight for 'dignity and respect'

Today, we are announcing the formation of United Videogame Workers-CWA, an industry-wide union formed by @codecwa.bsky.social and @cwaunion.bsky.social 💪🎮 We're launching at #GDC2025 this morning to build a video game industry that works for us. We're done playing.

Today I got to hang out with @jeffhamilton.bsky.social irl after knowing each other online for like... 7 years. GDC is wild. 😍

@ GDC

Oh yeah, this is what I look like in case you see me around this week!

I'm in San Francisco and ready for another GDC! 💪 🥰

Any recommendations for tattoo places in San Francisco?

I can’t overstate how much enthusiasm I have for both Australia & New Zealand’s game making communities. I also can’t overstate how *different* the two of them are! If you’re a publisher or platform holder attending GDC, and want some insights, reach out! Some incredible work happening there.

"In Gen X 1.3% of people identified as gay; in Millenials, 1.6%; in Gen Z, 2.6%. But the number of people coming out as bisexual (i.e., attracted to both men and women) has had a meteoric rise."

Assassin's Creed Shadows comes out in 13 days.

This is what I have been working on for the past decade 💅 ALT: GAMES is a new festival that brings together the Australian games community and industry. Featuring @dmullinsgames.bsky.social Richard Garfield @allyhennessy.bsky.social Playfool and atomo Kihara

Many of you might be interested in organizing LUNCH at work. LUNCH is actually a lot easier than you may think. You can in fact do it right now, especially if you find yourself suddenly having fewer coworkers to invite out to LUNCH. Others who have gone for LUNCH are very happy to advise

Kinda wild that I'll be at GDC on the launch day of Assassin's Creed Shadows 😂 I'm gonna be so hyper that day.

i hope every discussion at GDC this year is 'what the hell is happening with our industry' otherwise what's the point

If you can believe it, today marks 3 years of work on Assassin's Creed Shadows, which also means it's my 3 year anniversary at Ubisoft and 3 years since I moved from Australia to Canada! 😱🥶 #gamedev
