Gamedev Christchurch is live with their February Meetup, featuring talks by Anton Rademan and our very own @esdin.net! #GameDev #Christchurch #NewZealand

Hey #Melbourne! I’ll be in you from late tonight through Monday morning. Mostly in town to catch my breath, but always up to chat about games and what we’re doing with @stellamaris.games! Staying in and around Fed Square and the CBD, hope to see some of you! #GameDev

I went all the way to Sydney and all I got was this ✨totally excellent✨ t-shirt

Loved our brief stay in Sydney, connecting with great people. Excited for future conversations on growing globally. In town for a few more hours before heading to Melbourne, let us know if you’d like to meet! #GameDev #IndieGames #SydneyMeetup

Reflecting on an inspiring day at #SAGE2025… if anyone tells you video games are 🪦, keep laughing all the way to the 💰💰. The gaming industry is booming! Gotta give a shoutout to my fellow panelists on ‘Resilience and Innovation’! Grateful to be part of the honest and inclusive dialogue. 🙏

Oh also I’m gonna be on a pretty cool panel with some pretty cool folks! #SAGE

Boom! South Australian Games Exhibition 🎮 is making its epic return to Adelaide on 7 Feb, and we’re honored to be a sponsor. ✨ Grab tix below — and come find us & @esdin.net, we’ll be ready to chat and geek out. 🤓 #SAGE #SAFC #ANZ #GameDev #LevelUp #StellaMaris

We’re thrilled to announce that @jjsignal.bsky.social is joining the Stella Maris team. His artistic skills and years of experience in games and media will be invaluable across a number of internal and external projects. Have a great Christmas JJ, and looking forward to next year! #gameDev #gameBiz

Stella Maris is proud to be an official sponsor of #Demospree, “the first streaming event of the year” In addition to supporting the non-publisher blocks, our founder @esdin.net will be polishing off their mic and camera to present their game Squids and other Playdate titles! Learn more below!

Stella Maris is proud to welcome the newest member of our team! Chris Lee is a Swiss-Army Knife of C-Suite skills, and we’re looking forward to seeing him put them to use for our clients and for Stella Maris. For more details, see our LinkedIn page #GameDev #GameBiz #StellaMaris

And that’s a wrap on our inaugural #GDKxGDK. Huge thanks to our performers, and to Roger Niner, who understood exactly why we do what we do. See you real soon, “gamers” 💜

First category has been announced! The “People Who Threw This Party’s Choice Awards”. We nominated these games. They all win! If you made this game, you get a free ticket and drinks on us all night!

Zero more days. JW Marriot is fine I guess, but it doesn’t have a cozy venue next to a room with the best open mic karaoke host on the west coast. 50% off GA tickets for anyone with Videogame Christmas Party Tix, or $15 off VIP at the door. #GDKxGDK #MerryChristmas #TheGameAwards #AreKindaBad

One more day until the best party you didn’t know was happening. Featuring karaoke with Roger Niner and chill tunes with DJ SG, come celebrate games with good people, good vibes , and good people at “Good Darn Karaoke” 12/12 l, 7pm-1pm @ Catch One in DTLA #gamedev #TheGameAwards #TGAs

Two more days until we have a good time. In THE UNDERGROUND, we’ll be singing and dancing in opposition to Geoff’s celebration of inefficiency and harm. In THE APARTMENT, we’ll have a space for repose and reflection. Come celebrate with us. Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.

See you on Thursday #TheGameAwards #TGAs #GameDev #GameBiz #Karaoke #DTLA links.stellamaris.games/GDKxGDK24

It’s on. Follow @gooddarnkaraoke.com for ticket drop, and sign up at the link posted there for early access. See you all in LA!

(Also yeah we’ll post the ticket links here when the venue has them up. So you can just wait for that if you want)

Lovely first night in Miami with a showing of The Birdcage followed by a performance by the girls from the Palace! #ArtBasel #TribecaFestival

Planning to be at The Game Awards but not “at” the game awards? Come watch with us. Good vibes, good people, good conversations, Good Darn Karaoke. Tickets coming soon, click the link for details and to get notified. #TGAs #TheGameAwards #GDK #GameDev #LA

Stella Maris™ works to balance wants while respecting needs. We do this internally and externally. It requires transparency and fairness. Needs are non-negotiable. We communicate ours and expect our clients & partners to communicate theirs. Wants are aspirational. If we can hit them? Fantastic.

In 17 minutes, our founder Ted is giving a FREE panel on "Holiday Overload Survival: Boundaries, Balance, and Staying Grounded" with the excellent Sheila Henson, ADHD Coach and Tacocat Wellness owner Angela Rockwell! Come learn some great things from experienced people! #ADHD #Autism #Boundaries

For folks who were curious, Ted did the thing! They had a lovely time at @nyugamecenter.bsky.social and are looking forward to more conversations. Thanks @halfrobot.com, @mitukhandaker.com, @shawnpierre.bsky.social, Eric Zimmerman, and Jake Weidner for an insightful morning!

@tallgamer.bsky.social @thoughtrise.bsky.social Hi there! We're excited to share what we're building with you. Learn more at stellamaris.games, and connect with us at [email protected]! ✨ (And if you'd like to learn what's Coming Soon, please click through our NDA on that same page)

We made a lot of new friends at #Techonomy24 here in New York City. Here are some folks Ted met! Can you tell which one… • …loves Customer Experience? • …helps run a non-profit? • …is a biotech investor? • …has given hundreds of people safe housing? All of them want to help make a better world.

Corinda, 1:28 “The Fiverr agency backed out. Let me know if you'd like me to make one” Ted, 6:04 “haha, clap. Thanks for the update, I'll make something with my morning energy boost” Ted, 7:42 “Ok think I got something good enough through a combo of a lot of stock footage and some editing”

Stella Maris™ is more than just games. With the holidays fast approaching, we invite you to join Sheila Henson, Angela Rockwell, and our Founder Ted DiNola as they explore strategies for maintaining healthy boundaries and preserving a sense of self amidst holiday chaos. #boundaries #thanksgiving

We'll have to do a real update in the future, but we've taken a half step and updated our homepage with a bit about who we are and what we do! Learn about us, and if you'd like to talk, reach out to [email protected]

Are you an individual, team, or company who provides consulting or other services for game makers? We want to learn more about you! ✨ We’re building opportunities for #gamesJobs through #partnership, #contract, and eventually #hiring. But we’re starting with a list. #gameDev #gameBiz #indieDev

Welcome to v4 of the Blue Sky Game Dev orientation 🧵! Let's get you started with the basics of Bluesky, finding other devs, and posting about your games! Btw, this is based on the artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also on the art side of game dev!

We’re sad to report that Break Capitalism™ has been delayed indefinitely. We knew going in that the team cohesion was loose at best, but the cultural value was high enough that we took on the risk. We hope to one day see the game become a reality, but for now we’ll turn our efforts elsewhere.

“The workplace” is a state of mind. Our founder @esdin.net says: “I tend to find myself working in a string of liminal spaces. Theres something comforting about bringing out familiar pieces in unfamiliar places.” Where do you get your best work done? #StellaMaris

Stella Maris funded* its first game today! What happens when you play with Ted and they yes-and you into a “deal”. #BusinessAsPlay #PlayAsBusiness #StellaMaris #gameDev *Not legally enforceable, no due diligence done, not “real”, but very real

Stella Maris is looking for folks to review some of our early plans. We're excited about what we're building, and think you might be too. If you're involved in making/publishing games, investment, or just want to hear our plans, you can click through our NDA at stellamaris.games ✨

Today we learned that Squarespace has built in product generation. What fun.
