So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser. gofund.me/f5615787f

me: can't wait for the day when I am less exhausted! *life never gets less exhausting* me: oh no

Welcome back to the Village! Season 2 of It Takes A Village premieres with @serknowles.bsky.social , Lead Artist at Sad Owl Studios, the developer that brought us Viewfinder! Watch the full episode NOW on my YouTube: youtube.com/@samantha_be...

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today. I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them. 🖤 shorturl.at/MpMra

What a great experience! Ado’s vocals are even more incredible live, the visuals were stunning and what she talked of gave me a lot to think about as a fellow creative myself.

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

First Ado concert tonight, excited!!

i will always appreciate forspoken being the first third person action game that made you choose glamorous nail sets and necklaces to customize your powers

PSPlusのカタログにあるFORSPOKENってゲーム始めたけど普通に面白い 猫？みたいな奴可愛いスギィ

#VPRedFriday Sadly just from the demo - but I'm hoping sometime soon to be able to play this properly 👍 #Forspoken 👍 #VirtualPhotography #VPinspired #VPRepost #VPSupport

Time to see my most favorite Ghibli movie in IMAX. Princess Mononoke left such an impression on me when I saw it for the first time as a kid and it still delivers on the awe and wonder.

FINALLY WON TOKYO TIX! 🔥

Someone’s a bit clingy today 🥺

It's been really tough lately, so surely I deserve to treat myself to Dispatch? Though no guarantees I'd have the energy to play it any time soon... 🥹

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

This is so utterly disappointing. Celebrating the bright and talented future of our industry was one of the biggest highlights of TGA and it's just gone like that.

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

Time lapse of #inking #Trigun. Inking took about 5 hours. Help a birthday girl out with some love for this traditional work! 🎂 I'd love to hear your thoughts, and it would be a gift if you could help me get eyes on this! I would love to do some cover art someday! www.behance.net/andreanagai

Non-US folks should really do this survey, the last question is about whether you’ve cancelled travel plans to the US or are reconsidering travel plans due to current policies. GDC needs to know this, maybe some talks could go online live with enough feedback? Maybe they could even lobby? Who knows!

Woops looks like I haven’t unclenched my jaw all day.

I somehow locked in so hard today I almost didn’t realize I could already go home.

TOMORROW, NOV. 5, IS MY BIRTHDAY!🎂 So today I'm sharing a favorite commission, Bowser and Kirby from Smash Brothers Ultimate. I have never done cover art! I would be delighted if you might consider me for your project. Or, please help me be seen with a repost! Tomorrow I share Trigun.✨

This book hit deep. So many thoughts and experiences I could relate to, living with a partner from a different culture in a country that is neither of ours. It’s a wonderful yet somewhat lonely existence.

Happy Veilguard-versary! Here’s our panel from #PAXEast youtu.be/bTnbGgy-g9A

Can’t believe it’s already been a year since Dragon Age The Veilguard came out. 🥺

Learning something new is really tough and exhausting, especially when you're not particularly interested...

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

"why are games so expensive" "why are mass layoffs happening" "why are games getting cancelled" "why did that popular studio close" it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

Weekend! 💕

i know this will probably get some people to buy the game immediately but Forspoken, like all open world games, has collectables but importantly, one of the collectables are MAGIC KITTIES

I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.

Listening to Distant Memories from the Forspoken soundtrack on my way to work really is making me feel a lot of feels.

Wish Japan having its first female prime minister would be cause for celebration, but she is very right wing sooooooooo... yay.

Something that's actually pretty impressive in Forspoken is how, like, there's lots of really good foreshadowing and payoff for the plot - something impressive since it's...actually pretty fucking hard to do that in a video game and even more so in an open world game

Might be a no brainer, but this goes especially for folks in lead positions. If you never mention the stuff that's good and only focus on pointing out the bad when giving feedback and otherwise, that'll kill the motivation and spirit of your team real quick.

If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff

the thing about Forspoken, one of my favorite video games is, yes, it's an open world collectathon, but also, it RESPECTS YOUR TIME The fast travel system is ludicrously generous, Frey goes mach 10, if she's going zoom fast, she opens chests faster, opens doors faster

Staying on the Digimon train even in karaoke.

Even with Monday off, this has been one long ass week.
