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 ✨

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

taking a break to apply for my pgwp and then will be pivoting to a deck builder I think…more to come! May be doing some game jams here and there as well #gamedev #deckbuilder

You know what they say..."If you don't use it, you lose it" Well, I realized I hadn't used my HTML/CSS skills in a minute as I've been in the land of C# for grad school. So I decided to make a website to serve as a portfolio! seaside-cowboy.github.io/index.html #webdev #gamedev

while everyone is talking about Texas look at how bad Mississippi has been gerrymandered for the past 20 years in the meantime

if youre gonna be apathetic about conservative state's issues go ahead and do me the favor of blocking me i am a queer individual who lived in mississippi for 22 years. my community there matters more than some color on an electoral map :)

To those who thought it was so funny that Mississippi lost access, you have no idea who lives here, who suffers here, who is now losing access to resources and community that they need. I really need you to understand what I mean when I say 1 state down, 49 to go.
