GAMERS!!!! I need YOU (yes you!) 🫵 to PAY ME FOR ART!!! Just had to buy food for me and Nash plus some other things, so I’m a little low in the ol’ bank account. Any emails/VGen requests received before 3/1 qualify for my couple art discount if applicable! Let me draw ur lil guys! lavender-arts.com

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

The Interactive Fiction meetup has a great free talk March 19th in London by @hanakogames.bsky.social (Long Live the Queen, Galaxy Princess Zorana, Black Closet, Magical Diary, etc etc!) Come learn more about what goes into these games' exceptional narrative design and puzzle structures 📚🧩

Im genuinely proud of this weeks newsletter. Yes it's about 'how to get gigs as a freelancer' but theres a vulnerability and transparency that was cathartic to write. Here's an excerpt And dont forget to sign up! www.nehapatelaudio.com/https/the-fr...

(A quick backstory if you’re not already aware: JC started the hashtag #WhatAGameDevLooksLike after security guards at GDC stopped her from picking up her speaker badge since she visually didn’t fit the profile of a stereotypical GDC speaker.)

Ramadan has started, and the World Central Kitchen has a program to distribute food aid to people in Gaza. Each kit for Ramadan contains nearly 30 pounds of halal—enough for up to 70 meals. If you have spare funds, please consider a donation of $60 to assist the people still struggling in Gaza.

This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account

impossible to overstate how much you should NOT give Discord your ID for any reason

Tfw you still have some edge cases to fix in your procedural locomotion system #gamedev

Overjoyed at all the applications we've had so far for this. If you're thinking of applying, reminder that the deadline is February 28th

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home. #regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart

Know anyone interested in writing video games? I'm chatting about it next Thursday, 6PM at MIT, so plan ahead #writing #gamedev www.meetup.com/bostongamede...

Calling on other UK immigrants and pro immigration citizens, today is the last day (til 11.59pm) to fill in the public consultation on the proposed changes to Earned Settlement, most notably moving the timeline from 5 years to 10 years www.gov.uk/government/c...

What an actual shame! Would’ve been nice to share more about Thai culture in this wah but alas 🥲

Spent the last year running a Discord server for individuals wanting to work in the UK Games Industry. So here's a shortlist of links/resources that I have saved - you might find these useful yourself or you can share them with your own friends/communities!

This is interesting because it's not unlike how indie game creators burn out. The excitement of building something new, just one more feature and a lingering sense you have to - they're all elements common in indie burnout Which is why I keep to a strict 9-to-5 to stay sane. It's more sustainable

Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all! go.bsky.app/6BAmgpi

UK game writer/nds we have a union! The WGGB provided invaluable support when I was made redundant. A rep was in all my meetings and briefed me before and after. While everything was above board in my case, I did not have to go through it alone. As a freelancer, they vet my contracts.

Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokémon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

Surely I’m not the only one who immediately goes to settings/accessibility/BIGGEST TEXT right???

May I suggest the music made by a Palestinian composer? It's none other than MARKSYE who you should be familiar with from games like Boyfriend Dungeon, Thirsty Suitors and more marskye.bandcamp.com

I'm available for sensitivity consultations and game writing! I do my best work worldbuilding and crafting adventures, but I'm down to get weird with it 😘 📧: [email protected] towerofbasil.wordpress.com/sensitivity-... towerofbasil.wordpress.com/portfolio/

Could you do me a favour & share this video pls? Trying to see something... I know lots of people are experiencing lower YT views, but I want to see if boosting external links/shares makes a difference. Plus, if you like old vs new T2 games. Pls have a watch :) youtu.be/VdrwjWOJyFM?...

We're hiring! warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-G...

In case anyone is looking for part time library work in south London. The librarians here are a lovely bunch. Downside is you may encounter me at times.

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Thanks for all the love on my "I need a job!" post 🙏🏿 it's been a very hard 6 months of both me & my wife being out of work, and I've had to skip buying vital meds due to lack of funds. I could really use some help ASAP, anything is appreciated 💗 ko-fi.com/thatjayjusti... www.venmo.com/ThatJayJustice

Unpopular (?) opinion: Not 100% a fan of Leon's hair. I don't think it suits his age and it comes across as him trying too hard to fit in with the youngsters. Then again, he's probs too busy killing zombies to research appropriate hairstyles anyway 😆 (Am still HYPED) #Resi9

My pleasure, friend! Always great to see you! 💚

Holy crap, the Companies House webfiling / gov .uk websites are a hot mess. -5/10 for UX experience my god.

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

I phrased this a little weirdly So I'm involved with various grants and funds now, and I've easily judged over a 100 games applications. Which is why I think my best practices advise might suit a lot of people I hate to see people fail not based on their idea but because they couldn't explain it

'How To Position Your Game Like A Pro' The talk I gave at last year's fantastic @adventurex.bsky.social is now live on YouTube! Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW-r... I give a brief introduction to what positioning is and a step-by-step walkthrough of how to conduct it for your game...
