Need something to tide you over until Hades II enters early access in 2023? Well, let me tell you about a little-known
@SupergiantGames
game called Pyre. (🧵)
i can't even begin to tell you how many times i have talked to a cm/smm colleague in the past year or so and they've flat-out said, "i am not calling it x"
social media professionals generally do not call it x
i guess now is as good a time as any to say—please please PLEASE support your favorite indie devs right now. seriously, in this market, no one is funding, and indies need your support now more than ever to keep the lights on
[kicks door down] I LOVE INDIES
[punches wall] INDIES ARE DOING INNOVATIVE AND EXCITING WORK
[knocks lamp over] THEIR PASSION AND CARE FOR THEIR CRAFT IS AWE-INSPIRING
[steps on pizza box] I LOVE YOU INDIE DEVS
Have you ever wanted to play a Platformer with Stealth elements or a Shoot ‘Em Up with JRPG battles?

it makes me sad knowing many in the games industry look down on wholesome games, a genre very important to women especially
i’m proud of my work on wholesome games and genuinely feel like it made me a better cm
VERY BIG NEWS: I convinced GDC to let me give a talk about Neopets??? This site really laid the groundwork for me as a kid to eventually become a CM as an adult, and I’m absolutely thrilled to share this with y’all. ✨

Ooh!! My turn to do one of these!!
Absolutely over the moon to announce I'll be the Community and Marketing Manager at Armor Games starting next week!! ✨
@SJSchauer
First one is much worse. I don’t trust that shelf to hold up that whole ass washing machine. You can get barricades for the side of the bathtub and then get in and out through the end.
Hey gamers, this rat is looking for work! 🐀💼 My time at Armor was a blast, but it's time for a new adventure.
📢5 years experience in CM/social/marketing and exploring community, copywriting, and AP roles!
Open to relo in the US, but remote preferred! RTs appreciated ✨
Since it’s Pride Month, it felt like a good time to say—community moderation is a political act. If you want your space to be truly inclusive and welcoming, you have an obligation to protect your most marginalized community members by promptly removing bigots.
Pyre is such a unique game. There isn’t anything like it, and I highly recommend any fan of Supergiant’s past games to give it a shot. It is one of my all-time favorite games and one that first came to me in a time where I needed it most.
Noxalas! ✨
please have hobbies outside of your day job. and like i mean hobbies that have nothing to do with your day job. touch some grass, live life, you’ve earned it
Friendly reminder to people watching the Wholesome Direct (and E3 in general!)--wishlisting on Steam is SO helpful for developers getting ready to release games and even more so for indie devs in particular! Make sure you wishlist the stuff you're excited about!
HEY, GAMES INDUSTRY TWITTER! I'm still searching for my next role and would love to work with you!
I have an excellent track record and a wealth of experience, and I'm known for bringing good vibes to the workplace. So, basically, the total package.
Remote preferred!✨
Before Hades, Supergiant released a niche little game called Pyre. The premise? You play as an exile of a fantasy world who was cast into an underworld of sinners for the crime of knowing how to read.
☀️ Welcome to Floridale! ☀️
Floridale Man: The Joy of Chaos is a comedy physics collectathon about causing problems on purpose, mingling with hotties and gators, and embracing the chaos of life.
🐊 WISHLIST NOW:
You make friends with three other unusual exiles after being cast down, and together, you embark on a journey to find freedom. How do you find that freedom? Two words: wizard basketball.
Yeah that's right, gamers. This marketing rat is going places!!!
So happy to announce I started last week as the Community Developer at
@MouldbreakerInt
! 🥰 Seriously, what a great team. Can't wait for all of you to see what we're working on!
having to tell a clerk at a games store that you work in games so he’ll stop mansplaining basic stuff to you is both the biggest flex and the biggest pain in my ass
Hey there, friends! I'm looking for work! If you need a community manager with experience in indie game marketing, community development and moderation, and public speaking, I'm your girl. Let's collaborate! ✨

anyway i’ve been shopping at asos and eloquii more and their options are GREAT. eloquii’s more expensive but has fantastic sales throughout the year. i bought these pants there recently and am obsessed.
This leads to such a beautiful marriage of narrative and gameplay. Suddenly, you’re grappled with the difficult decision of who needs to go home, if someone should stay a while longer to help with the Rites, etc. It’s more than just a typical basketball draft.

and just hit five years in the games industry! 🎉 I just spoke at GDC this week about using acting techniques to inform your brand voice and have also spoken at PAX East and Play NYC.

These decisions are made even more difficult the longer you get to know your band of misfits, which grows as you befriend people over the course of the story. It’s a beautiful found family tale at its core, and each character breathes life into the world of the Downside.
No, that’s not a joke. In this world, the way to earn your freedom is to participate in a set of basketball-like rituals called the Rites and compete with other exiles for ascension. But the window to do so is rapidly closing, and there is no guarantee everyone will make it home
Once again starting my petition to get
@Neopets
to hire me to do CM work ✨
I’m an experienced CM and 20-year Neopets player who has given what is currently the only GDC talk about the site! I love the Neopets community so much and would love even more to get to work with it.

Hi there everyone, I’m Catherine, and I’m the brand-new Community Developer here at Mouldbreaker Interactive! If you see someone posting updates here or replying to your comments, it’s probably coming from me. It’s nice to meet all of you!
My ✨remote✨ talk Everything I Learned About Community Management I Learned From Neopets is now up on the GDC schedule! Come listen to me babble about Neopets (again) in this detailed community management analysis!
📅March 24 @ 2pm PT
See you there!
Gonna be real for a second, but it honestly makes me kinda sad to see the devaluing of indie in game dev circles. Working in this side of the industry has been so incredibly satisfying for me, and I can’t see myself working anywhere else.
My 2021 goal is to be a full-time CM in games again! Let's work together!

if you still don’t get how serious this is—1/4 of the us’ crypto mining happens specifically *upstate*, where it’s often significantly colder and snowier than nyc/downstate. it’s 4*F right now where i am. imagine not being able to afford heat in that kind of weather.
Hey! Professors from collegiate game dev programs! Stop requiring your students to heckle working professionals for a grade! That’s not how networking works!
💃 marketing/cm/social media aren’t easy!
💃 stop acting like it’s something anyone can do!
💃 there’s a reason companies pay people like me to do what i do!
community and social media management are surprisingly complex lines of work that require everything from high emotional intelligence to algebra to graphic design and more
God, I really love this book. If audiobooks are more your thing, then I definitely recommend this!! (But the book itself has very charming illustrations, so the ideal solution is just to buy both honestly.)
Was inspired to browse through some fashion photos on InStyle and do a little study after watching the new
