Loved being part of the IAB jury this year and getting to check out some really unique games. The Indie Arena Booth is definitely my favourite part of gamescom 🥳

When covering #LudoNarraCon last year, @rinoaskyes.bsky.social threw out the term "Unbound-likes" when talking about games that evoke nostalgia, grief, & the surreal At this year's festival, she hosted a panel on this topic ft. @imissmyfriends.bsky.social @maboroshi-artworks.bsky.social & Sigono

This is the best worst piece of clothing I own

A joy to be part of LudoNarraCon discussing games with themes of home, grief, nostalgia & surreal alongside @rinoaskyes.bsky.social @maboroshi-artworks.bsky.social and Scott from Sigono games! Thank you @fellowtraveller.games for having us! 🥰

Really happy that our game ‘I Write Games Not Tragedies’ has a small place in #LudoNarraCon this year! Thank you to @fellowtraveller.games for hosting this wonderful showcase for narrative games 😊

Really grateful to be sharing the virtual stage with Rhea, Scott and Juan. It was a deeply personal chat which really reflects how much heart they've put in their games. The panel is live on #LudoNarraCon on Steam and YouTube, check it out!

The SEAGS team is still buzzing from Indie Jam Malaysia last week! 🎮✨Thank you to all the amazing organizers, developers, speakers, enthusiasts, and everyone involved for making this possible. SEAsian gaming scene is alive and thriving!!

Please fund indies and AA studios.

I’ve mentored for years now and now more than ever I wish those in lead or higher dev roles would be more mindful when they insinuate to young devs there’s a possibility of job openings in the future.

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 🥳 Huge props to the amazing @soyacomu.bsky.social for commemorating the celebration ✨

So important to show up for hyperlocal events! Really grateful I got to travel to Kuala Lumpur for Indie Jam to represent Critical Reflex and also give a talk about Publishing 101. Great to catch up with friends, meet new devs, attend talks and most importantly eat my weight in Hainanese chicken 🐔

I love the Southeast Asian game dev community so much 💙 Amazing art by @soyacomu.bsky.social !

If you have the time you should try this #indieVN by @rinoaskyes.bsky.social. It's short, sweet, and doesn't overstay the welcome for its absurdist premise. My only complaint is that google slides flashes the screen white repeatedly when you click through dialogue. rinoaskyes.itch.io/tamago-sando

Happy to announce that the @xbox.com Creators: East, South and SE Asian collection is back in rotation on the dash, featuring recent releases from the region including Afterlove EP, Cats and Seek Dino Park, Cuisineer, Petit Island, The Bridge Curse 2, and more.

Please play @rinoaskyes.bsky.social I Am A Pencil (Aku Sebatang Pensel). It's so good. Content labels for domestic violence, drug use, and probably more (I've had a couple playthroughs only, so far). It's a thriller. But not in the way you might expect.

If you have GDC Vault access and you missed it, my talk Babygirls, Daddies, and Himbos: Updated Archetypes for Compelling Characters is up! I'm confident I can inspire you to think differently about writing your game characters, wrapped in a very weird history lesson: gdcvault.com/play/1035113...

‘I Am A Pencil (Aku Sebatang Pensel)’ is a psychological thriller Twine (text-based) game based on homework essays I used to write as a primary school student in Malaysia. Live for one night and one day as a pencil and see where life takes you. 👉 rinoaskyes.itch.io/i-am-a-penci...
