Having a blast in Tokyo, if you want to see more of my pics they're on Instagram Stories and a few on my grid. Instagram.com/jaynekitsch

Finally, I played the Modulus demo from @happyvolcano.com a lovely little factory automation game. I can see myself getting fully hyper focussed on this once it launches. And on that note, off I go on holiday. 🎉

This demo is also super cool. I love a shop sim and this one is a great twist with awesome 2D hand drawn style art and a great soundtrack. How many more demos can I fit in before my holiday? Find out later.

Also played the Thrifty Business demo. Cute, chilled shop sim from the peeps behind Sticky Business. Love the art and laid back jazzy soundtrack. store.steampowered.com/app/3693650/...

Just finished this demo and it was very, very silly. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys Rick & Morty style humour and D&D parody. Great art style and there's a crab! 🦀🦀🦀

The LinkedIn algorithm is so weird. You would assume that increased quality engagement would translate as increased organic reach but it does not. It feels completely random. I have close to 10,000 followers over there and often posts get seen by less than 500 people. 🤷‍♀️

Want to know what demos to check out this Steam Next Fest? Check out this thread from @kanaratron.bsky.social for all the indie game awesomesauce. 👇🎮

Help me out and pop over to the not-worst-but-still-bad-place and share this plea for support for @limitbreak.co.uk We've had some AMAZING businesses and individuals step up to keep the program alive but I'd love to see a bit more to fulfil our potential🙏💖 www.linkedin.com/posts/heydan...

Today's day off comfort watch is Season 1 of Adventure Time followed by a session playing Core Keeper with my partner. ❤️🌈⛏️

I watched the ANTM documentary, Reality Check this week. I grew up watching the show, I've seen every season, it inspired me to try being a model from the age of 16 and later a photographer. I did not remember it being that unethical. Early 00s reality TV & beauty standards were SO messed up. 😭

Last night I won a mini Troll for being the fastest person to recognise the theme tune to Rugrats. I've been told this is peak millennial. I am proud.

Been rewatching True Blood for the first time in actual years. I was such a huge fan when it was new and so happy that it's still good fun.

We did it!! After an hour in a virtual queue at 1am and a minor mistake. Japan may be futuristic in some ways this ticketing method is pain. 🥲

Designing a game that serves a specific audience is marketing. Researching that audience and the competition is marketing. Optimising a store page for visibility is marketing. It is not possible to launch a game with zero marketing, stop pretending that it is.

Staying up late today in an attempt to purchase Ghibli Museum tickets. Please wish us luck. 💖

Thought I'd take a break from the Steam Deck for some Tropico on PS5 but seems my console isn't keen. It decided to spontaneously turn itself off without warning and is now not responding. 🥲😭🫠

Want to help me with this quest? 👀 50 Euro vouchers on offer to chosen participants. 💸

It was University not college but here goes: 1. Psychoanalysis of Movies 2. Representation of Artists on Screen 3. Writing Screenplay Adaptations 4. History of Glamour Photography 5. Visual Effects and Motion Graphics UK University has less variety than US college formats, as you can see. 📷🎥

Booked tickets to Kawaii Monster Land in Tokyo, gonna live my early 00s Harajuku dreams. My love for Japan began with Fruits magazine and a strong interest in street fashion subcultures, so this is gonna be ACE! Lemme know if you have other tips for Tokyo or nearby.

Prepping our #SteamNextFest coverage over on noclip_2 and the @noclipvideo.bsky.social Crewcast for later this month. If you're an indie dev planning to have your demo as part of the event, feel free to reply here, in my dms, or send me an e-mail (in bio)!

Having a music video viewing sesh this evening. All the faves from our teenage years including this one. Teen me was obsessed with this music video. Enjoy fellow millennials! youtu.be/1Yzu-4kJg6g?...

This week's new favourite game is Core Keeper. I've been recommended this SO many times and this week I finally jumped in. I want to see pics of people's ridiculous bases please! store.steampowered.com/app/1621690/...

More material to support my "I can't believe I get to work with these people" era. Our team are really, very amazing.

Against the Storm is on sale for less than £10. This was one of my fave new to me games last year. Roguelike city builder, very cool. You should play it. store.steampowered.com/app/1336490/...

WHY DOES A SMALL STREAMER GET TO PLAY WOOLHAVEN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE? 🤔 Well, because we can! ❤️ JANUARY 8 @ 11AM EST be LIVE on CalicoTea twitch. Be the first to watch Woolhaven gameplay and donate to Cool Earth, our chosen charity!

Very cool to welcome Marta to the team this week. We've already bonded over a mutual appreciation for Xena: Warrior Princess, anime and Oxygen Not Included. LOVE, love, love that I get to work with amazing people like Marta. 🎊

What to watch now there's no more Stranger Things? 😭

Just having a little cry with pride because my TMNT: Splintered Fate Collector's Edition finally arrived. 🐢🥲 Definitely one of the coolest things I've worked on so far, childhood me would be so impressed! Miss the Super Evil team so much but so grateful for this opportunity. 💚💜

Delighted to see this piece up! Massive thank you to all the women who shared their experience with me for this 🖤 www.gamesindustry.biz/a-decade-on-...

Happy Fallout Season 2 Day! Just mildly annoyed about it being a weekly episode when I was SO ready to watch it all in a few days.

Just booked flights for Tokyo next year 🎉🥳 Send me your recommendations.

Yay for stop motion animated games! As someone who grew up in Ray Harryhausen, Laika and Aardman I really love seeing this stuff. ❤️🤩

🚨 The UK Video Games Industry Census closes 19 Dec. Run by Ukie & Dr Mark Taylor, it’s the most comprehensive survey of the UK games workforce, exploring: 🔹 Industry mood & outlook 🔹 Layoffs, visas & training 🔹 Careers of women in games Open to all UK games workers. Take part: zurl.co/yfMwu

The TMNT: Splintered Fate Collector's Edition that I worked on last year finally shipped and I just watched an unboxing of it for the first time and I'm feeling so proud. 🐸🐢 Can't wait to receive mine. 🤩 youtu.be/KlYuFa-Jo7M?...

This was one of the best marketing videos at Day of the Devs yesterday. We're making games, let's not take ourselves TOO seriously, ok?

As a disabled, neurodiverse woman in games, I never saw people like me growing up, so this career didn’t feel possible. Now I’m a senior dev, & am proud to be visible for those coming after me. That’s why I’m excited to take part in #DoILookLikeAGamer looklikeagamer.com/next-1up-end...

This game looks amazing. 😍

Welcome to the season of 11am feeling like 5pm but with endless rain. ☔🌚

The terrible Zelda animated series has been added to Amazon Prime if anyone wants to experience why it's so hated first hand. 😬 I can't believe this stuff got approved with so much decent source material.

If you work a studio that’s been nominated for a Game Award this year (or even years’ past), I would love to speak to you about your experience getting tickets! How many did your studio get? How many did you buy? This can be anonymous. DMs are open and email is alyssamerc[at]gmail[dot]com.

Can I watch the first four episodes of Stranger Things 5 before seeing any spoilers? 🤔

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

CALLING ALL MINECRAFT PLAYERS! Do you want to support accessibility? Do you want to be in a team alongside disabled gamers and help make a difference? Do you want to support @specialeffect.org.uk in February!? Drop a comment and let me know if you want to be in our #GameBlast Minecraft Team!
