Lots of great games at BIGFest @blackingaming.bsky.social 🙌

I feel SEEN! Thank you so much for all the love and affirmations last night. Winning the Lifetime Achievement award is an honor I cherish forever! Thank you @blackingaming.bsky.social and @igda.org for the accolades and support! Thanks you to my family and community for over standing me!

I was honored earlier this GDC week to receive the Indie Developer Award from the @blackingaming.bsky.social Foundation - and I wanted to link a recording of my speech here! I'm so thankful to be supported by such an amazing community, and know that whoever you are, you belong in games!!! 🎮✨🏆 (1/4)

I wasn't able to play all the games at the showcase, but was pleasantly surprised by the deep gameplay from ✨Gravity's Edge and ✨Where The Chips Fall Hoping those games find some support and that I'll be able to play finished versions of them in the future.

Had a blast at my first ever GDC! Thanks for inviting me to come speak on a panel, @blackingaming.bsky.social -- it was an honor. Also, got to finally meet @shawndoublea.bsky.social in person and hang out 🔥
