Playing Carrion immediately after finishing Still Wakes The Deep makes for a very unexpected cross-over

📢 iGGi 🔜 #DevelopBrighton Meet us at the iGGi stand (B12) on the expo floor & talk to our researchers! Today's highlight: Luiza Gossian whose research involves some seriously casual games.. Drop by to find out more from @lugossian.bsky.social herself! www.linkedin.com/in/lu-goss www.lugossian.com

Do what you love for a living, and you will never have a day off for the rest of your life.

I've been working on a game that turns the ten stages of genocide into a casual game that can serve as a primer for understanding the topic. Learn more about it here: www.lugossian.com/games/detach...

Today is the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide where prominent Armenian intellectuals and community leaders were rounded up and detained, deported, or killed. What followed were the massacres and death marches that reduced the Ottoman Armenian population to a quarter of its original size.

Late little GDC post. Safe to say I had a good time. www.lugossian.com/post/belongi...

Three self-inflicted days of frenzied torture later and we have The Missteps of Jonathan Gruber: A minimalist platformer where you swim through blocks suspended in a drab abyss. Buggy, but playable. Just missing the cacophony jazz soundtrack Play it! gossianblurs.itch.io/the-missteps... #LDJam

Today is panic day #LDJam

The most important thing for staying sane in a game jam is to have a personal development goal. For this one, I'm determined to get to grips with Unity's animation system, so I don't feel guilty for spending the entire first day rigging, breaking, and re-rigging a single character 🤷‍♀️ #LDJam

Gee I sure wish I had a way to organise all these ideas and make sure I wasn’t missing anything OH WAIT I doo! Game design notebook is doing its job nicely #ldjam

“Deeper and deeper” feels like it was only a few jams ago but ok there’s a theme to the themes so be it

Kicking off the jam with an unreasonable lie in 😴

LUDUM DARE LUDUM DARE LUDUM DARE! It’s going to be a fine weekend

The rush that comes after making a Windows-only game work on a Mac after way too much tinkering is why gaming on a Mac will always be more satisfying

Last night I managed to get my little game as a little app onto my little phone and I have been riding that puny achievement high all day

I'd say as an academic who has also worked in the industry and does practise-based research: don't write us off so fast! Many academics are designers, and many designers are doing academic research

Hello 🤠 Lately I've been testing my resilience by making games about genocide and whatnot Like this one: www.gossianblurs.com/games/packing

Oh goody, another timesink
