Rest in peace #BurgerBecky, I wished to have been able to meet you in person. Thank you for being such an inspiration for the devotion in the gaming industry.

For every layoffs in the gaming industry remember: Behind every number is a person who once helped build the worlds others escape into and now struggles to stay in their own. People who poured nights, weekends, and years of creativity into launches that defined this industry.

See you all at gamescom Asia soon!

To the visionaries, developers, designers, and communities that brought inspiring ideas to the virtual worlds that vibrantly enriched our lives, thank you for the blood, sweat and tears forming these masterpieces! Happy National Video Games Day! #nationalvideogamesday

Re-shouting out again because of the amazing work the awesome individuals had done to make a difference if officially LIVE! Also the trailer is dope!

Spreading around because the team spearheading this amazing endeavor are a bunch of inspiring individuals doing a great amount of impactful work~

🧵Previously I’ve shared some thoughts on design decisions on making XR games but there are more! Adding a few more to the list and hope it may provide more ideas on the considerations and perhaps have it as a sticky note while going through production. #gaming #VR #gamedev

If IGN has layoffs, nobody in games press is safe. If Microsoft has layoffs, nobody in platforms is safe. If Ubisoft and Bungie and NetEase have layoffs, nobody in game development is safe. If the Romeros get their funding pulled, no studio is safe. It's rough out there, right now.

I've looked at a lot of resumes for aspiring translators and everytime I notice they have the relevant experience but they don't make it clear, meaning vendors are more likely to overlook them as potential freelancers. Here's some resume advice if you're looking for freelance translation work.

oh my gosh, finally!!

Sending virtual hugs and positive vibes to friends of the bloodbath today. You are very valued in the industry.

Another resource for the folks in the gaming scene is LIVE~ #indiedev #gaming

Developing a game in extended reality is a tough topic due to more design choices to consider. What could game developers do to ensure their game is fun while also catering to the immersive experience and maximizing the six degree of freedom aspect? #gaming #VR #gamedev

Some minor update from my end, most of us are safe but not without casualties. I'm still in the progress of seeking opportunities for my affected team members, recovering from the trauma and handling work concurrently. Also please be kind to those who were impacted. Thanks.

For my mates who are affected, do look into this resource. IT is optional but hope something help, and NO I am not the resource starter but giving a shoutout to a kind soul trying to help.

Layoffs happened, many of us suffered, this is a dark moment.

Amazing work from the team at @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social! Please check out library.gamehistory.org from development documents to magazines to press kits and more about video games of the past! Currently this is in early access and feel free to let the team know of anything that may be improved!

Ahhh amazing!

Some mentees I've spoken to weren't sure of how to progress from their curriculum and transit into the working world. Sharing a blog post by @cdemint.bsky.social, where important bite-size pointers gain experience as you progress through the adventure. Hope this will help many starting out!

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

Another year older, another year wiser. I strive to be the better version of myself for each tomorrow. Ending cake day with the quote I will hold this year. ''No matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be good'

Planned out 2025 things to do, breaking them down into more achievable milestones, creating motivational steps to working towards them. Setting aside more time to play games and some educational stuff on video games! I've learned not to kill myself over passion and be kinder to myself now 😌

OMG I'm shedding tears just seeing this!! BUT I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS WHOLESOME PLAN OUT! This is just so beautiful 🥹, congratulations @zerocool1000.bsky.social !!
