Was at an event for people with Money™️ today. I complimented someones glasses and they then said, “Oh I got them at x place, but that’s probably not within your budget”

It’s bizarre to be a hyper-empath in the 2023.
I’ve had one of the best years of my life and yet there’s unavoidable existential dread I feel from this shivering world.
The highs of ‘23 are very high and the lows are disquietingly low.
Well... It seems like a good time to announce that Women-Led Games is having a June showcase, Summer Game Fest Edition!!!
The sign up form will be linked below! Deadline is April 19th.
Unity loosing trust is dangerous financially, but also for the future of game dev. Until another engine becomes prominently accepted by the industry to the degree Unity was, students are at risk.
I cannot run Unreal on my laptop as a student dev, nor can I afford a new setup.
Just learned that the Old Spice mens deodorant options are “Nightpanther” ?
“Krakengard” ??
“Swagger” ???
“Bearglove” ????
“Raptorstrike” ????????
Are yall okay😭😂

The people of Palestine do not have that luxury anymore. Smh but UT students overwhelmingly showed out in support for Palestine🇵🇸💪🏼
Just put out my first blog post on my deep dive into all things Game Production!
I’m looking to build a community of beginner-friendly Production knowledge for anyone interested in learning more!
Stay tuned on this 16 week series🤘🏼🥳

UT Austin students are overwhelmingly against Israeli occupation and genocide. Texas DPS troopers are on scene, shoving people from horseback and making arrests. President

says universities need free speech, yet he fires staff and has students arrested for speech.

Time to get back on the blog post grind!
These past weeks have been quite difficult, but I’ve got some steady footing again, and I’m ready to talk Production🥳
Hey internet… any tips on reaching out to publishers to speak to at GDC.
Is this a Meet2Match situation or is there some hidden wizardry involved? Asking for a friend…
Note: Pitch decks are made (or soon to be completed) and we’ve got a demo floating around somewhere👀
The Women's Day Sale is almost here! 🥳
This sale is running from March 1-10 bringing players a selection of +400 diverse games, demos & discounts from teams led by women and other gender marginalised developers! 💜🎮
Check it out!
🧵These layoffs are decimating peoples livelihoods and snuffing the young talent out completely.
The experienced people are getting layed off and numerous internship programs have been canceled so aspiring game devs aren’t able to get industry experience in the first place.
As an indie dev, seeing somebody play your game is the coolest thing ever, and I’ll drop into streams and say hi when I can or give a follow etc.
Support is a two way street ^-^
Here’s some content creators who you should check out because they’re awesome!🧵
ANNOUNCEMENT TIME
I'm going to be working with the lovely folks at
@MergeConflict
, and advice and support on all things business™, and I'm 100% serious when I say that I couldn't be happier right now💜

Have you played Re:Fresh, but forgot to tell the world how much you loved it?
We are THREE reviews away from hitting 100 on Steam and we need YOUR help! We'd love it if you tossed us a review! Have a good day🥰
Here's some more concept art from the early development of Re:Fresh!🍃
We knew early on that repairing the town would be a large part of the game, and this shows some experimentation with what villagers would look & feel like✨

@paxibus
I’ve been seeing more and more hateful Gamergate-esque opinions. I want to be clear on where I stand.
I won't tolerate any harassment, violence, or threats towards devs, minorities, and women in our industry in any space that I own or have control over.
I don't care about your
I wish I had an event like this growing up, and I’m extremely grateful to be a small piece of this puzzle!

*i promise we will elaborate at some point soon on all the shenanigans*😳🫢
I’m not an economist or anything but what if execs only made as much as the median salary within a company or something.
You as an exec are there to serve the company and the people, not grossly profit off them.
HEY! I helped out on this! Definitely check it out because the team has been working so incredibly hard on it!
Really cool to see what they accomplished with this one 🥳

The FarBridge team is thrilled to announce that Homeworld: Vast Reaches is now available for purchase on the Meta Store 🙌 Fleet Command, are you ready to report for duty?
This brought a tear to my eye 🥹
Protesting is a universal language. Whether in march, song, or dance the world is doing what it can from afar.
Keep it up🇵🇸
#StopGenocideInGaza
This is why I don’t play games like this. I was waayyy younger last time I realized these types of games and communities were not built to support me as a player.
This is also a reason I want to make inclusive games for people as much as possible 💚
I have never made a more desperate plea that what I am about to say right now.

@RiotSupport
I need you guys to fucking do something. I am an incredibly strong person and I have been streaming for a very, very long time. But absolutely nothing prepares you for someone
It’s 10:15 and im FURIOUS. Few things enrage me, but my mom telling me about how she gets harassed at her workplace is one of them😡
Because she is a strong hispanic woman she gets BELITTLED by men in power who feel threatened by her.
