monster patron enters restaurant ✅ triggers dialogue ✅ dialogue options trigger next scenes ✅ layout of next scenes determined ✅ programming for combat scene started ✅ short form video posted to 3 platforms ✅ thumbnail made ✅ long form posted ✅ productive short sesh tn #indiegamedev #gamejam

this is always the case, but it's a great time of year to make sure the people you send invites to for "women's" events actually ID as women, and you haven't just made assumptions based off appearance, name, or the genre of games they work in

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. Methodological Paradigms in Game Studies 2. Constructing Identities in Gaming Culture 3. Interactive Storytelling 4. Gender Studies 5. Creative Visual Thinking

Slay the Princess isn't the only game that's crossed a major sales threshold over the past month! Thrilled to also share that Scarlet Hollow has passed 100,00 units sold, just in time for Episode 5's release on the 13th!

given the opportunity I will prove myself just gotta get the opportunity first

The idea that your hobbies / side projects should thrive while you’re job searching because you have “more time” is so much BS My motivation for anything is actually so low due to every waking hour thinking about employment and no set routine + final stress 💔💔💔

Just received a games industry remote position rejection because I’m not a U.S. citizen 🤣 It’s funny because I am a U.S. citizen I just don’t live there! And it’s completely legal for me to work remotely for a U.S. company 🤣🤣🤣 Just gotta laugh sometimes to keep from crying #gameindustry #gamedev

manifesting: better wage -> better mental health -> better creativity ✨

already added more will make update post tomorrow

how do I dive into more complex animation? specially 2D. what’s a good starting point?

my #nextfest line up so far #steamnextfest #indiegames #wishlistwednesday

I want this game design shit more than anything…if given the chance, I will work so hard. How do I show that to others through a resume or portfolio? I have a story and it’s one of resilience. I’m fiercely determined and willing to be underpaid bc my partner is a chemical engineer lol

anyone else get software/engine paralysis? Ink…Twine…Articy…Arcweave? Ren’Py…Unity…Godot…GameMaker? Pro Motion NG…Aesprite…Librespite? What if I’m using one thing but there’s a more efficient tool out there? What if my software is more complicated than I need? #gamedev #indiegamedev

let’s see if I can finish 3 levels of this jam over the next 3-4 days

how do I decide if a game is worth finishing? I’ve learned so much since starting my visual novel I’d literally do so much differently but I couldn’t possibly start over but i’m unsure if it’s worth finishing in its current state

There are just 4 days left to donate to the Games for Palestine charity bundle which has raised nearly $100,000 to help fight against genocide! 🍉🙌✨ You can get 382 games, including Atuel, for just $8 or more. Every donation counts! Please donate and help out with a RT to spreads the word! 🙏✨

ever since microsoft's layoffs in early july, the two zenimax unions have been fighting for impacted employees following the cancellation of the elder scrolls online studio's unannounced mmo. they've won laid-off workers more time (aka more pay), better severance, recall rights, and saved some jobs

I love video games. I want to make them. Why do I have to go to work
