From this day in 2021: My nephews were curious about Final Fantasy after seeing a Moogle I drew and I described Chocobos as looking "kind of like Big Bird" so then I had to draw it.

Instead of giving up, I'm now looking into starting my own agency to provide social media, community management, and comms support / consultation to indie games and small businesses. I'm genuinely good at these things and helping indies succeed has always been one of my greatest passions.

Hi everyone! We are looking for animators who will be attending GDC to volunteer as a buddy for our scholarship winners! We’ll have a small social one evening (on us), & it would mean a ton to our scholars to have someone in the industry to meet & chat with. Please reach out if you are interested!

GDC is less than two weeks away, so I figure that now is as good a time as any to let people know that I will be in San Francisco that week. Let me know if you want to grab some coffee, lunch, or drinks and catch up!

We are looking for people with a good, collaborative spirit, the burning desire to make games that don't fit the industry standard mold, and the skills to back that up. If that sounds like you, you can check out the job description and apply on our site: summitsphere.com/jobs

We launched Penny’s Big Breakaway on this day 2 years ago! Wow time flies

New game dev starter kit just dropped

Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

I’ll be at GDC this year doing portfolio reviews and joining the new writers’ Q&A panel!! I’m looking for more work and your next game needs a writer, so let’s get coffee!

I'm really struggling and could use some help finding work if anyone has any leads, including freelance or contract work, I'll take anything 😩 I've got 10 years of experience in gaming with strengths in writing, editing, communications, social media and community management

Do I know any composers/audio folk going to GDC who are open to helping a first-time GDC goer in their discipline find all the cool stuff? Asking for a friend!

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Hello network! I'm looking for someone who will be at GDC this year, has experience starting a studio/biz dev, and is willing to come and speak with a group of cool devs! Reach out by DMs pls! RTs appreciated. 🤩

People are all "why does Mamdani have such energy" and it's one cute trick we call "not being in your late 70s on a series of anti-dimentia drugs while a coterie of assistants and staff members, some of whom are second generation, are trying to turn your it-won-once strategies into a response"?

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
