Hi Gus #BreakingBad

My second #CHI ❤️ Thank all the friends who dropped by ☺️ Two years ago, I could only visit alone. But now, in addition to my role as a researcher at the company, I’ve also become someone who can bring my students and collaborators to showcase our work ☺️ Proud to bring an indie game to #CHI2025.

I’m a super fan of Flo now @florencesn.bsky.social ☺️☺️Check the amazing paper about Archaeological Gameworld Affordances dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... #CHI2025

I’m at my second #CHI ☺️ #CHI2025

Welcome to read our paper! ☺️

#GDC2025 week was one of the most exhausting seven days of my life, but I grew up so much. I used to see myself mostly as an observer and often hesitated to share my ideas — but now, I truly feel like I’m part of the industry 🥹

well meaning i suppose but if you want to know anything of the impact trans people have on games you have to engage with stuff that will never appear on this sort of list because it's free, or it's too strange, or it's only on itch, etc

i forgot i set a sale for this but my new game "A Butterfly" is 51% off on Steam right now, for $0.49 store.steampowered.com/app/3439300/... get it even cheaper? yay cheap cool weird games!

I finished my first GDC talk today about '1001 Nights' Thanks everyone for attending 🥳 Ended up with a nearly full room - really flattered by the audience! I hope my indie game can be a prompt for innovative gameplay based on LLMs #GDC2025 Steam Demo: store.steampowered.com/app/2782660/...

My favorite talk so far 😭 Thank you so much for sharing the stories about The Crush House @nicole.pizza

Thank you for attending my talk! ☺️✨

Thanks Tommy! ☺️✨🔮

Welcome to join my talk tomorrow! #GDC2025

Hello SF! #GDC2025

WHAT WE OWE THE DEAD (my latest #sci-fi novel) is finally a thing! Physical copies will be sent out next week (both to those who pre-ordered and to bookstores). >> www.setmargins.press/books/what-w... <<

Thanks Mike ☺️✨🔮

This is extremely important to understand. There is no such thing as “0 funding” for a project of any size.

100% this. There is nothing that gets done with zero funding. Feeding the team, paying for equipment, grass roots marketing campaigns, playtest, content production... the list goes on. Even if the budget is small, it's gonna cost something.

Not sure if I'm alone in this: Highlighting solo devs/small teams who created successful games & apps by saying 'they had 0 funding' is unfair and misleading. Living expenses and equipment cost money (even if they owned their homes). These devs self-funded these costs—which is obviously not zero.

Still wanna be a mahou shoujo.

Happy #WomensDay2025 🥰 Last year's artist fees from exhibitions of my #indiegame 1001 Nights were fully donated to scholarships for girls in underprivileged areas + anti-domestic violence funds. It's still at @wingsfund.me #womensdaysale event. Check the demo! store.steampowered.com/app/2782660/...

I'm packing my schedule for #GDC! 🎮 Will give a talk on LLM-driven #indiegame "1001 Nights" schedule.gdconf.com/session/game... I'd love to chat about: ✨ LLM for novel gameplay 📚 Research in interactive storytelling ✨ Feedback on my game! (I will give you a tiny mech) Welcome to leave a message!

Last night I hosted my first #LDNcreativeAI meetup in... 6 years 😅 with Terence Broad, Thu Nguyen-Phuoc & @cheesetalk.bsky.social I'm thrilled that London still has the community excited about latest developments in AI & their creative explorations 🤖 🎨 Thank you for your support 🙏🥰 #creativeAI

Thank you so much for playing my game!! 🥰

my idle adventure game Time Bandit is 50% off on Steam! that's like $0.50 per hour of gameplay, not to mention you get to uncover a capitalist conspiracy (priceless). you may, however, question valuing your time in dollar amounts after playing. im not liable store.steampowered.com/app/1481910/...

New Post - Muse: Before You Tweet Hello! Microsoft's new Muse system isn't trying to generate game ideas. If you want a concise summary of what the paper tries to do, and a few notes and criticisms about the project, I wrote something about it. www.possibilityspace.org/blog-before-...

while i'm here, a quick shout-out to the Knives & Paintbrushes crew (@mtrc.bsky.social, @florencesn.bsky.social, @pyrofoux.bsky.social) – everything i read of theirs is super thoughtful & original it's so hard to make real conceptual progress in this area rn & they are setting a phenomenal example

Ok here we go #DeepOpen
