We met a Technical reporter at the GBC 70th anniversary event last week while showcasing our game, Squirrely Roo Rabbit. So, earlier this week, I got the chance to chat with them about how I got to where I am of owning and running an indie game studio! 😊 www.facebook.com/share/p/171U...

Congratulations, Ashley! 🥳

Chefs talk about efficiency of movement in the kitchen and reducing time of repeated actions because those seconds add up to minutes to hour and days over the course of years. We have similar things in game dev. Like any kitchen or studio, the processes probably differ with experience and team.

Aliona Baranova, one of the performance directors on Baldur's Gate 3, has questioned why TV and movie adaptations often overlook in-game talent when casting for the big screen.

We're packed, the Roos have their suitcases, so I guess it's time?! 🐇🧳 Here we come, Otakon! Hey, Otakon, we have a task for you: Last time we had Roos, we sold out 3 times over one weekend and we kept making trips back to Baltimore to keep the fun going! 🚅🧸

We're going to have to get our hands on this! 🤯

Can't believe we're already just under a week away! We are so excited to be back at Otakon this year and see everyone again! 💞 It's gonna be a party in the game hall! 🥳

I would rather live in a world with pirated media than lost media. Ideally I would like to live in a world where digital media is archived properly by well funded public services in ways that benefit the artists.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

Turns out just because you have a shit ton of money doesn’t mean people like you—or want to vote for your candidate.

shortly after the gdc awards, stories circulated that no one was around to accept life is strange: double exposure's social impact award bc they'd all been laid off. this is not entirely correct; plenty of former deck nine staff attended gdc. they collected the award, but then deck nine took it back

I know we’re like two weeks out from GDC but I gotta say it. I don’t like top 50 radio hits playing outside of the Moscone center. it should be video game banger after video game banger. Simple and Clean and then Big Iron

Is it a war crime to execute 15 paramedics and rescue workers one by one ? Much of the West wants you to believe that it depends on whether you're Israel. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Your rate isn’t just for the hours you work. It has to cover taxes, software, equipment, admin, and the months when work is slow. There is no paid overtime. Protect your time, energy, and well-being. You are worth it. 💛

We can't believe @mica_rcce's UP/Start is already only a week away! We've had the privilege of mentoring upcoming indie game studio, @unfatedstudios, this year! 🙌 #MICAmade #SmallBusiness #CreativeEntrepreneurship
