Excited to return to 🇩🇪 #devcom & #gamescom after surgery & a quiet start into 2025! This time not behind the scenes, but on stage THREE times 🫣 Sharing insights from elsewhere NFP’s Workplace Culture Study w/ Ashley Blake. #ddc2025 #GamesIndustry #DEI #WorkplaceCulture #indiedev #gamedev

Fear of retaliation is real, and it’s stopping people from reporting misconduct at work. We launched the Global Workplace Culture Study to speak up where others can’t. Please add your voice: bit.ly/WorkplaceCul... #GamesIndustry #DEI #SpeakUp #GameDev #IndieDev #ddc2025 #gamescom #WorkPlaceCulture

So much for keeping things low-key at this year’s devcom Developer Conference 2025: On stage 3 times to talk workplace culture, reproductive health, and turning setbacks into growth. Cheers to big convos and resilience! #devcom2025 #DEI #gamesindustry #womeningames #ddc2025 #gamedev #gamescom

Games bring joy. But behind the scenes, workplace culture shapes real lives, for better or worse. We’re sharing global insights from our workplace culture study at #ddc2025. Let’s make the industry safer, healthier, more human. #devcom #gamesindustry #WorkplaceCulture

It’s been quiet on my end, but we’re back on the map. At gamescom latam, we launched our 2-year Global Workplace Culture Study with elsewhereNFP 🌍 Next stop: devcom Developer Conference 🇩🇪 in August and gamescom asia 🇹🇭 in October. #DEI #GamesIndustry #ElsewhereNFP #WomenInGames

First time in Brazil, first leg of our elsewhere study – and already in love. We’re in São Paulo till May 3, meeting studios, sharing stories, and learning so much. If you’re around, let’s connect. Also: the food? Unreal. #gamesindustry #globalresearch #gamedev #indiedev #elsewhereInBrazil

So excited that @elsewherenfp.bsky.social will be on the ground in São Paulo and presenting findings at @gamescomlatam.bsky.social❣️ Big conversations, bold questions, soft power. May 2nd, 2:35pm, Stage 1. #gamescomlatam #gamedev #indiedev #workplaceculture #futureofwork

Played 40+ indie games - not just for fun (okay, maybe a big little bit for fun, too), but as a juror for the Indie Award at Baltic Games Fest. And let me tell you: Some real bangers just dropped or are coming soon❣️ #indiegames #indiedev #jurydutybutfun #balticgamesfest

In Germany we say „feministischer Kampftag“ and I think that’s beautiful! It reminds us that March 8 isn’t only #internationalWomensDay but there’s still a long way to go (and to fight) for absolute equal opportunities for all genders 💜 #feministischerKampftag #womeningames #feminism #gamesindustry

‼️🤯 Still shocking: Women in gaming earn 26% less than men. Some top studios? Over 30% pay gap! This needs to change. Thanks, elsewhereNFP, for raising awareness. Fair pay = stronger teams. Let’s push for transparency! #EqualPayDay #WomenInGames #FairPay #PayTransparency #gamedev #indiedev #DEI

Thrilled to join the first-ever Baltic Games Fest Awards as a jury member! 🎮 Honored to team up with Jan Halwe (ByteRockers’ Games) & Marilena Cassetta (Crytek), with Uke Bosse hosting. Can’t wait to celebrate indie creativity! #IndieGames #GameAwards #BalticGamesFest #GameDev #IndieDev

#GDC is around the corner! After major ankle surgery couple months ago I’m still recovering and training hard - not just mentally, but physically - to be ready for this event. How accessible are industry events for you? Let’s talk about #AccessibilityInGaming & #InclusiveEvents! #GamesIndustry #DEI

📱 Mobile gaming is booming, but keeping players is tough. Shrinking attention spans & ads every 30s drive them away. Studios adapt with smoother onboarding & community-driven features. What’s the smartest retention strategy you’ve seen? 👀 #MobileGames #GameDev #IndieDev #UserRetention #LiveOps

Sooooooon! Hop into our Discord for tomorrow's Power Leveling with the fabulous @cl1ck1.bsky.social of @elsewherenfp.bsky.social as we talk about how to network safely! Join in

Waking up this morning in my hometown #Nuremberg to see the #Quelleturm reclaimed as a symbol of freedom and resistance moved me to tears. As a woman, I’m terrified of tomorrow’s #election. But I’m grateful for the people fighting back. Thank you, @disrupt-now.bsky.social #antifa #NoNazis

🎟️ Interested in game development, but don’t have a GDC pass? We’re giving away 50 GDC All-Access passes as part of the Xbox Gaming For Everyone 2025 GDC Scholarship Sweepstakes 💫 developer.microsoft.com/games/articl...

#Germany votes Sunday. The far-right is rising, BUT SO IS RESISTANCE. Games like #ThroughTheDarkestOfTimes by @paintbucket.de show why we must fight authoritarianism. Democracy erodes when we stay silent. History doesn’t have to repeat itself. #Democracy #Elections #indiedev #indiegames

💡Game devs are speaking up. 58% now support unionization as layoffs & pay gaps shake the industry. Is this the best way forward? More protections or more friction? 🔍 What’s your take? #Unionization #GamesIndustry #FutureOfWork #GameDev #GDC #IndieDev

🚀 Want to take your indie game to the next level? Let’s talk business! Learn how to navigate funding, partnerships & avoid common pitfalls at my @indiegamebusiness.bsky.social ® session tomorrow! 🎮 🔗 lnkd.in/g9hHdnE6 #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGames

🚀 Excited & so proud! For the first time, I get to visit 🇧🇷, not just because it’s an incredible country, but because I finally get to experience the Brazilian games industry in its own home, not just at global events. Thrilled to be part of #GamescomLatam! 🎮 #DEI #gamedev #indiedev #ElsewhereNFP

European #GamePublishers are in for a tough 2025: ⚔️ Market saturation makes discoverability a nightmare 💰 Rising dev costs squeeze mid-tier studios ⚖️ EU regulations tighten monetization 👩‍💻 Talent is fleeing How do we stay ahead? Innovate, adapt & invest. Thoughts? #GameIndustry #GameDev #indiedev

Generative AI is a powerful tool for inclusion, but it comes with challenges like bias and job loss risks. Let’s discuss how we can use it responsibly to drive diversity and empower marginalized creators. What’s your take? #GenerativeAI #DEI #DiversityInGaming #gamedev #indiedev #gamesindustry

Our biggest ever charity bundle with Fanatical is LIVE 🔥 Grab 27 incredible games worth over $495 for just $15, with all proceeds supporting our initiatives in mental health in games. 🎮 https://tinyurl.com/bsky-safebundle

Gamers are aging, but are payment models keeping up? Older players (50+) spend more per purchase, prefer premium content & credit cards. Younger players buy frequently & love fintech. Studios optimizing for speed risk alienating big spenders. Time to rethink game monetization! #GameMonetization

#DEI representation in games is growing: 32% of gamedevs are women/non-binary. It’s a sign of progress, but also a reminder of how important it is for the industry to keep pushing for diversity, especially with setbacks looming. #DiversityInGames #gamedev #videogames #mobilegames #indiegames

Skepticism about AI in gaming is rising. 30% of devs see #AI as harmful, yet 52% adopt it. Concerns? IP theft, job loss & ethics. Then #DeepSeekAI launched, shocking the industry & tanking NVIDIA’s stock by 17%. Is AI disrupting too much, or is this just evolution? #GDCStateOfIndustry #GameDev

Can’t wait to share my tips and strategies at the @indiegamebusiness.bsky.social Sessions on February 19! 🎉 Join me for practical advice on building partnerships, pitching confidently, and growing your studio without breaking the bank. #IndieGameDev #BusinessDevelopment #IndieGames #sharingsession

Your mental health matters. You are not alone. #saferspace #mentalhealth #resilience #DEI

Whatcha up to tomorrow? We think you should come hang out in the WIGI Discord Server where we'll be joined by @shelbymoledina.bsky.social and Gina Joseph to talk about the #twopercent movement. Join us!

Inclusivity is under attack, but we’re stepping up. At elsewhere, we’re launching surveys, partnering with organisations, & empowering the games industry with insights to create safer, more inclusive spaces. The work starts now - join us in making a difference! #DEI #diversity #gamesindustry

I woke up this morning in Germany with this video and I can’t understand why it’s not making headlines or being widely discussed as a scandal. Does it take a German to remind you of the lessons of the past? Happy to be at your service #musk #nazi #fascist #trumpinauguration #trump #usa

Only 2% of venture capital goes to women-founded startups in the U.S. This isn’t just an U.S. issue - Europe faces the same barriers. Women-led teams outperform by 35%, yet their ideas remain undervalued. Let’s change this with #TWOPERCENT. Join the conversation and push for change! #FemaleFounders

I won’t be at #PocketGamerConnectsLondon this year, still recovering from ankle surgery. But I’m gearing up for #GDC and #DICE to discuss trends like frictionless #GamePayments and localization. If you’re attending, let’s connect in advance! #GameDev #GamingIndustry #Innovation #PGCLondon

Take Us North is an inspiring indie game telling a story that deserves to be heard. I’m excited to support Karla Reyes and her vision - add it to your wishlist now! Let’s help her bring it to life: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak... #IndieGame #SupportIndies #gamedev #indiegamedev #kickstarter

Not on me to judge if Tencent is detached from geopolitics, but what’s interesting is that this move happened before President-elect Trump takes office. Heightened US-China tensions seem inevitable, and the ripple effects could impact industries like #mobilegames + #videogames. Thoughts? #USChina

We’re back with our first Social Gathering taking place this Wednesday from 4pm GMT. As well as networking, we will be hosting a discussion on ‘Empowering Authentic Goal-Setting for 2025’. As ever, this virtual event is free to attend. Simply register your place here - shorturl.at/HXVKd

Let’s make 2025 the year we celebrate wins, foster inclusion and stop nerfing tall poppies in games. 🌟 Support ambition, give construct feedback, and check biases - leveling up should be a team effort! #TallPoppySyndrome #Inclusion #GameDev #Leadership

💰 $100T wealth transfer to millennials & women is reshaping industries like #videogames. Impact-driven, transparent + community-focused models are the future. How will the industry adapt? 👾 #wealthtransfer #womeningames #gamedev #purposedriven

Post-surgery life has me stuck, literally. Temporary for me, but what about those who face barriers every day? Only 27% of EU workplaces are accessible. Gaming leads in player accessibility 🎮 - but what about our teams? What does true inclusion look like? #Accessibility #Inclusion
