PLEASE NOTE: tons of people are saying even if they made a facebook YEARS ago, they just discovered they’re still tracking your active data. If you have Instagram, this is ALSO happening — you should turn it off too. I mean it when I say I thought I did everything to avoid this. 😒

Hey whānau, We've had this account brought to our attention. It's not us. We have reported it as a scam account.

With almost the entire Western system of suppression against Palestinian stories working against him, Rasheed has still managed to bring Dreams on a Pillow to 75% of the campaign goal with two weeks left. Please don't let this dream fail in the last stretch. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

We just released version 0.4 of Dream Team Supreme! We have more monsters, more cards, and an entire map to traverse! 🗺️ Download it for free on Itch: bigadventure.itch.io/dream-team-s...

Hey #GameDev friends - how would you like 1200 font styles in one pack, full commercial use, for under twenty bucks? Sure you would! You can get every font we've ever released until now in one handy zip folder at a ridiculously low price until December 31st - ENJOY! ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pack

The most common & harmful #gamedev misconception about accessibility is that accessibility = feature development, therefore accessibility = cost that must be weighed up. If there was one single thing that I could delete from the collective consciousness it would be that.

We know today is a big day in the news, but we can reveal some good things. These are your NZ CODE Round 9 (2nd National) CODE-funded projects! Congratulations to everyone and it is our absolute pleasure to support you on your journeys. www.nz-code.nz/post/808-341...

It's finally here! The demo for our first game, Dream Team Supreme! This is something the entire team is super proud of and excited to finally share! There's still a long way to go, but it's a huge milestone and just a taste of what's to come! (Links in replies)
