Alright, Baltimore! A new gaming conference is at our very own convention center! 🎮🎲🕹 It seems that most people don't realize how many game studios are here in our city—even though there are a TON—so, let's show 'em about the gaming hub we are! 💪 #GameYourFuture #IndieGame #StoryGame #WomenInGames

Solo devs and very small teams often have this inherent cringe about the idea of making people pay $20 or $10 or even $5 for their little game and I can't emphasize enough how much you have to grab that cringing impulse within yourself and strangle it to death

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...

I have to be honest, the hardest part about doing our Kickstarter is that my dad backed it before he passed. Every time I have to do something that deals with his package, it really messes me up 😔 I know the handmade carrot accessories are late, but I hope you'll love them just them same 🧡

"so how did the cybertruck meet safety standards in the US?" you will not be surprised one bit to learn that while pedestrian safety is a huge and necessary part of testing in the EU and Aus, in the US...they dont test for it at all. just dont give a shit.

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf. Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

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

An estimated 200,000 people took to the streets this weekend to protest with @teslatakedown.com and others. Just wait until you see the turnout on April 5th. The people are rising.

📢 Major Announcement!

Come for fun, to support, or to find out more about securing funding! No matter how the funding gets split, it'll be the start of 8 new artistic and entrepreneurial endeavors! 🤩 Hope to see you there! ✉️ RSVP ⬇️ www.eventbrite.com/e/2025-upsta...

UP/Start is how we got our start as an LLC, so it's really important and nostalgic for us to watch this team's journey 🥹 We'll also be returning to the event this year as a part of the Entrepreneurship Showcase! 👩‍🏫
