"i don't post my work because if i let people see my work and it gets popular, that means i'll have to change my work to fit its-" no you don't. you literally don't. you can let people see your work and then just never change it to please them ever.

On our other side we had @unquietgames.bsky.social and their game Banned Together. A puzzle exploration game taking place in a college library with a very unique focus mechanic I can see future games trying to mimic! bsky.app/profile/unqu...

Thanks so much for the shout-out, @kymira.ca! We couldn't have asked for a better neighbor than @wtchcrft.com at @qgcon.bsky.social last weekend. We should totally collaborate on a "queer indie games inspired by Blue Prince" bundle, haha! 🩵

Just wanted to give a shout-out to @qgcon.bsky.social for putting an engaging, inclusive, and fun event last weekend! Such a great combination of arts, academia, and industry.

October's Patreon update is here! I talk a bit about my experiences with @qgcon.bsky.social and the Fall in Love Visual Novel Festival: www.patreon.com/posts/octobe... #gamedev #indiedev

Had a big weekend at @qgcon.bsky.social ! Spent all our time in the arcade showing our game and playing the games of cool indie devs! So nice to have a masked event.

Neechi Clan: a free-to-join online community that utilizes apps like Discord to bring together Indigenous gamers, streamers, and content creators.

Two Falls: a game about and madenbybIndigenous peoples. Indigenous artists working directly on the project include the music composer (Eadsé), art director, writer, some actors and 3D artists (Awastoki). Play it on Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation and Xbox. @twofalls.bsky.social

Achimostawinan Games: an Indigenous owned and operated video game company dedicated to developing Indigenous games for an Indigenous audience (and the world) while also helping Indigenous artists and communities develop interactive and digital content. @achimogames.bsky.social

In honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we would like to highlight some Indigenous groups creating in the video game space to check out and support, including...

Had a lovely time playing MAGNIFICO’S CIRCUS—the top-rated Escape Room in the world—with a bunch of queer game designer friends while in Montreal for @qgcon.bsky.social! A really excellent experience full of delightful interactions, lovely scenic design, & genuinely cool characters.

I have wondered about ways to use my metalsmithing skills to make things other than jewelry... and @lackingceremony.bsky.social's keynote at @qgcon.bsky.social now has me thinking about making metal artifacts for TTRPGs and how they might contribute to gameplay 🤔

It's tough to pick faves amidst so many fantastic talks & speakers, but I think @princerosalium.bsky.social's talk at @qgcon.bsky.social in the Spite, Survival, and Joy panel this year was such an amazing way to round out the weekend. What a balm! <3

A real highlight of @qgcon.bsky.social has been @murderveggie.bsky.social talking about proactive community management during (and before!) a crisis, which was a fantastic lesson in social media literacy.

We're up again at @qgcon.bsky.social ! Come by and play DEVIL'S LIMINAL!

Playing PRETZEL, a lovely little physical game by Tim Snowdon at @qgcon.bsky.social! milkymilkface.itch.io/pretzel

Still thinking about how lovely @lackingceremony.bsky.social was on Friday @qgcon.bsky.social when I showed up at the presenters dinner feeling super shy and not knowing anyone. Then I got to see her talk on TTRPG "loose, touchable design for leaky, excitable creatures" which was so fucking good!!!

Resharing to add the Sunday #QGCon schedule of events as well!

It's here! It's today! It's in 2 hours! Come join us basically anytime today! We've got games to play, we've got games to buy, we've got panels to check out! It's free! I'll be at a panel in the early afternoon, vending later, and probably buzzing around like a hornet in the morning. Come say hi!
