Had SO much fun and learned a ton from @hlywa.bsky.social about how games get funded and what publishers look for. Hope you check this episode out!

tonight !!!!

I will never, ever get over how beautiful our planet is.

the recorded version of the podcast I did with Marina is here! Listen and learn about topics like - game writing - how to get writing job - putting a bit of your soul into your work - off-topic anecdotes - lots of anecdotes actually

Making a coffee & then we'll get started Come hang out ☕ twitch.tv/marinahascoffee

Streaming some music production later today 🩸 If you want to hear the song I'm making for @montyzander.bsky.social's Resident Evil 7 video, come hang out around 5pm PT :) twitch.tv/marinahascoffee

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Had SO much fun chatting with @hownottodraw.bsky.social earlier this month :)

I have two launch days today!!! - Moonstone Island character customisation free update (which I didn't do a whole lot of work on, but still! YAY) bsky.app/profile/moon... - Hello Kitty Island Adventure Wheatflour Wonderland DLC (which I did a LOT of work on, YAY) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZOH...

Today I reminded myself that the player's experience is the most important thing I had what felt like a neat idea for #HighwayNoir - different parts of the room light up to show what you are about to do instead of buttons. But it just isn't consistent or intuitive, especially with keys/D pad :(

Starting now! Come hang out with us :) 🔗 twitch.tv/marinahascoffee
