🎮🔥 Call for Games! 🔥🎮 I'm curating a show on GAMES AS PROTEST/ACTIVISM and looking for titles that explore resistance, civil disobedience, or political action. Made one? Know one? DM or comment! Lets make some interactive uproar ✊️ More to come soon!

It's me! I'll be at #GDX2025 presenting on "Avoiding Complicity". I'll be mapping out the relationship between our industry and the destruction of Gaza; sharing tools devs can use right now to resist. 🍉 I'll also be on panels relating to worker-first studios, narrative and community safety. Say hi!

👀 Have you seen the schedule for #GDX2025? It’s 🔥 2 days of talks, panels & community you don’t want to miss. 🎟️ zeffy.com/ticketing/gdx--2025 #IndieGames #YEGEvents

Interested in some #indiedev marketing stories? Kylie wrote about our early efforts to promote our first 2 games and the differences between Itch.io and Steam we've noticed so far.

Mass layoffs affecting thousands of workers. Cancelled development cycles sweeping years of hard work under the rug. We have seen time and again how little the worker matters to corporate leadership. 🪶 Sign & share the first step for change: actionnetwork.org/forms/were-d...

In the first quarter of 2025, the average fundraiser was getting 37% less than last year. It's even worse for queer orgs because supporting 2SLGBTIA+ causes is seen as risky given the current political climate in North America. But, we take care of us, right? Please support the fundraiser and share!
