“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

We need more developer-centered industry third spaces that don't cost an arm and a leg to get to or participate in. If you run one or know one, now's a great time to bring attention to it.

the only time in my memory make some noise as been won with two words

Last Gamedev PerkUp of 2025!! We'll see you there 💚

New #Portfolioday! Character artist/tech artist/outsource supervisor who is looking for work! Full time/Freelance/Contract I love building shaders for character customization, improving workflows, creating 3D character and materials! www.artstation.com/elizabethn Elizabeth.skaya @ gmail . com

One of the best things I have done all year is get connected to this group. (And this has been a crazy year.)

👻 Ghouls 4 Games is coming soon 🎃 spooky season is always so near and dear to my heart. the @dames4games.org team, guest hosts, co-streamers, and participants in this line up are to DIE FOR 💀🕯️ sorry didn't mean to scare you get notified once it's live!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErbH...

We're saying goodbye to six wonderful folks on our team this week at @outerloopgames.bsky.social They've been part of the team for years and unfortunately we got hit with some unexpected US tax changes, a port cancellation, and new project pitches that are going slow. It's a rough year.

More and more each day working this industry, am I truly grateful to have the support & bandwidth to run & co-manage @gamedevperkup.bsky.social alongside Breanna Cruise. We need these community & support systems now more than ever❤️‍🩹

November Eventbrite link dropping soon! 🎉 Stay tuned ☕

✨Hello! I’m Tanisha & I’m looking for work as a character designer & illustration work! Recently worked on Disney Junior Ariel!Please consider me for your projects!✨ 💼:tanishacherislin.com ✉️:[email protected] #PortfolioDay #characterdesign #drawingwhileblack #visdev #art #kidlitart

Have barely been on socials, been wildly busy, and my DMs have been swamped - but posting here to say that I wasn't affected by the HM layoffs, but please support my fellow coworkers who were. Uplift. We're stronger together in this industry ❤️‍🩹

Gonna keep tabs on this while there for you guys🫡😂👏🏾🥂

And a Huskerdust pin interest check!

Hey friends - my time at Heart Machine is ending after nearly 6 years. It’s difficult to say goodbye to a studio that has seen so much growth in myself and others. If you know of any studios hiring for audio lead or senior roles, please send them my way. DMs are open! #AudioJobs #OpenToWork

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month. Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

Look at the bravery of these folks. And then look at the cowardice of the thugs. Watch them flee once they've been inconvenienced. These are petulant children cosplaying as "warriors". Resistance comes in many forms - making things inconvenient for the fascists is often incredibly effective.

It’s official: EA is going private. The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.
