Hit 500 all-time download's for Founder's Quest! It's pretty small still, but for a hobby podcast I'm pretty proud that we've crossed that threshold and had folks listen to all the different journeys of folks along the way.

Management and leadership are two very things. The industry is drowning in management. It has critically few real leaders

Our creative party game Retail Mage is 40% off for the steam sale. You and your friends are wizards working at magical IKEA, dealing with weird customer requests, and having the world play back with you. Check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3224380/...

Episode 12 of Founder’s Quest podcast: foundersquest.podbean.com/e/ep-12-iren... I talk to Irena Pereira at Unleashed Games about her founding journey, social design, and how she builds support for herself along the way. Really enjoyed our conversation.

Founder's Quest Ep 11: Jeanne-Marie Owens, Critical Path Games. foundersquest.podbean.com/e/ep-11-jean... Jeanne is one of my good friends here in Van, a founder, and exec chair of gaming for DigiBC. Great conversation about her journey and founding in Vancouver.

Please leave a review on Steam of any game that you've enjoyed but haven't left one for! It helps with the overall review count/percent and is how games go from no rating to Positive and then Very & Overwhelmingly Positive and it helps to have recent reviews so people know that yes, it's still good

So we launched a game! We're trying to do something really new here and push boundaries. In Retail Mage you're a wizard working a retail shift at a magical furniture store -- and the world plays back with you. Check it out, spread the word, etc! store.steampowered.com/app/3224380/...

Latest episode of Founder's Quest: Andy Mauro founded Storycraft in 2023 after spending a lot of time in the "chatbot" tech space, including a previously founded and exited company. foundersquest.podbean.com/e/ep-8-andy-...

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

West Coast crowd, make sure you read our investigation into Forte’s secret/not secret purchase of Rumble Games and Phoenix Labs.

We launched our steam page and trailer for Retail Mage! Come check out our little game where you're a wizard at magical ikea and you have to deal with customers. Oh, and you can manipulate any item in the store however you want! Really excited to share: store.steampowered.com/app/3224380/...

I haven't posted much here, but thought I should start by sharing my podcast "Founder's Quest" where I talk to game founders about their journey of starting a studio! So far I've talked to @derekree.se , Jessica Murrey, Paul Sage, @emilygreer.bsky.social and Zabir Hoque. foundersquest.podbean.com

Working with new exciting tech to try and create great player experiences and/or solve real problems is one of the best parts of my job. Being associated with technologists with god complexes and a complete lack of empathy for what it means to be human is the worst.

"We want to solve loneliness through games." @statuskwoh.bsky.social shares a bit of his personal journey as he talks about why he, @cautomaton.bsky.social, and @michaelyichao.bsky.social came together to found Jam & Tea Studios. 🍵 www.jamandtea.studio/blog/jam-and...

something I relearn every year, for whatever reason: cynicism is the fastest destroyer of passion no matter your thoughts on expressing cynicism at work, I find it’s so invaluable to stay earnest and sincere for the benefit of the folks working alongside us
