An update on The Dinner

you: what are we having for dinner game designer: great question. i wrote some pillars to help us align on a good outcome here. you, reading: wait, this pillar is just "food must be edible," that seems pretty vague game designer: ah, that's where the secondary pillars about Edibility come into play

Watched the new season of Pokemon Concierge--thoroughly charming, and a really nice balm on the soul rn. When I was a kid I fantasized about being a Pokemon trainer, but now that I'm older, I think I'd just have a pair of Vulpix instead of cats. #art

Over the past few months I've gotten a few informal questions about helping others with writing craft on a 1-on-1 basis. I'm not sure how much real interest is there, so I'm experimentally advertising tutoring/portfolio review services. azhdarchid.com/opening-up-s...

I'm sure seeing a battle fest movie with seat motion will go okay

Something that helped me keep sane when I had to look for work was having a spreadsheet where I could keep every detail of job applications in one place. I updated it in 2024 & made a template, anyone can use it by clicking File > Make a Copy. 🔹 tinyurl.com/8vc5nwmn

Very informative and useful information here that every freelancer NEEDS to hear. I, like many others, unfortunately, have had experiences with vague contracts and unfair payment schemes before. It ends with you not getting paid or not getting appropriate credit. 💔😢

I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. And yes, that sound is people groaning and slapping their foreheads all over the world.

You deserve rest 💙 #art #comics

Hey bro I don't wanna sound like I don't trust you but I can't help but notice that you're acting as a friend and guide to our party yet you aren't in the box art

My queer horror game I worked on for 3 years was deindexed on itchio. This game has been pretty much my life and purpose these years and is based on many of my own challenges of figuring myself out later in life. To say this has gutted me is an understatement. justacarrot.itch.io/our-wonderland

Not every love story ends well 💔 #gamedev

How to lure me out: get me a book 2 weeks early...

Out of context #gamedev: "Oh yeah, we figured that out on our last project but either a ) It's locked behind a separate project confluence and you don't have permissions for it b ) the person who knew how to do that has left or been laid off"

If you're a Canadian dev directly affected by these changes on Itch or Steam, I want to talk to you.
