Everyone should keep an eye on this game - it’s getting cooler and cooler. #rocgamedev #gamedev

Welcome to v4 of the Blue Sky Game Dev orientation 🧵! Let's get you started with the basics of Bluesky, finding other devs, and posting about your games! Btw, this is based on the artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also on the art side of game dev!

An important reminder for indies: you don’t need to do everything from scratch! #indiedev

M snuggling his birthday llama 🥹🥰 (followed by L tucking him in).

Me: “Can you tidy up your toys please?” *5m later* L: “Ok they are all ready for the concert”

Marie and I really enjoyed “This is a Gardening Show”! It’s a rare perfect mix of chill vibes and light humor. (And we learned a bit too) www.netflix.com/title/81902230 #netflix #zachgalifianakis

This fox and its pup have been roaming through our backyard woods the past few days!

She’s getting pretty good! Love her color choices here.

I can’t play until after kids’ bedtime, but I’m SO hyped. #minathehollower #indiegames

I get they’re trying to do a mashup but… “have it the way” doesn’t make sense 😭. Not just grammatically but also philosophically: one is about personalization and the other is about following shared morals. #burgerking #mandalorian

If you have access to the GDC Vault - my microtalk on designing word games was posted! Please check it out and lmk what you think 🙏🏽 #GDC #microtalk #wordgames #gamedesign gdcvault.com/play/1035850...

“Dada do not distract Anna and Elsa, they are having quiet time in the den”

“The secret to creativity is daydreaming” - Mitch Hedberg

Len made an “instrument kite”, “because I’m Moana”.

Recently I was on The Game Design Round Table discussing NYT Games and Crossplay! So fun and surreal talking to Dirk and David who I have listened to for years. #TGDRT #gamedesign #podcast thegamedesignroundtable.com/episode/desi...

Thanks to #genAI, it has never been easier or faster to show the world that you lack taste and/or have nothing interesting to say.

TIL there’s a museum of math in NYC? Gotta check this place out www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/s...

These are two of the most beautiful and original films in YEARS, not just 2025. Triumphs of creative vision and collaboration, sorely needed in the age of AI hype. Really hoping they get some recognition tonight.

GDC wrap up thread! It was a super quick trip but I had a blast attending #GDC and SF for the first time. What a beautiful city!

I’m speaking for the first time at #GDC! Come check out my microtalk alongside industry titans Jesse Schell and Cara Ely. Monday 3/9 3-4pm schedule.gdconf.com/session/game...

I can’t. She’s grown up so much in just 1 year. 😭😭

Yessss ☁️🏄

And… we’re live! Check out our newest game: Crossplay! It’s beautiful, fun, and totally free :)

My new game was announced!! #NYTCrossplay realeases 1/21, now accepting preorders :) www.today.com/life/nyt-cro...

New skill acquired: avocado stance

This is a wonderful player mindset! It’s the same philosophy championed by Bernie Dekoven in “the well played game”: if we are both fully engaged in the game, the fruit is not the outcome but the unique experience we shared together. If only we could all approach games this way.

This little dude turned 6mo this week! Full of smiles and obsessed with his big sister. He’s currently working very hard on crawling.

Meeting Anna and Elsa was a hit!

Can we please redesign the FTUE on the English alphabet? The way letters relate to phonemes is so unintuitive.

If the grinch’s heart was two sizes too small, then grew THREE sizes on that fated Christmas morning… then wouldn’t his heart be too big? Does he have cardiomegaly?

“What has parental leave been like?” Basically… contact naps. Allllll of the contact naps.

This is awesome! If you need assets for your game, please consider supporting these humans instead of turning to AI.

Crazy idea: What if we repurposed #BlackFriday? Maybe instead of shopping and consumerism that feeds oligarchy… it could be about supporting black artists and businesses? Maybe instead of concentrating wealth, we redistribute it?

Is it just my algos, or is public opinion finally turning against generative AI? Better late than never…

Today is #ROCGameFest! Come check out and support games made in NY! #rocgamedev #gamedev www.rocgamefest.com

A first for me: I wrote a song inside a dream! I was about to show it to some musical friends, started getting shy and stalling, then suddenly woke up. It was 3am so I jotted down the words with solfège, and tried to go back to sleep. Can now confirm: the song is… very mediocre!

This Rochester Playbook is a treasure! I love the fun, visual, and detailed breakdown of playgrounds in #ROC. A must-have for any local parent. Grab the 2025 version online! a.co/d/5TGqBr2

Just got new materials for a party game that I am playtesting at Protospiel Rochester 2025! If you're interested in trying it out, please come find me Saturday morning. #protospiel #RocGameDev

Tomorrow starts part 2 of parental leave, which goes through the end of the year! This will be my longest break from work since… well ever. The whole thing is exciting and strange!

When AI evangelists say “AI is just a tool”, it sounds a lot like “guns don’t kill people”. Sure they CAN be used for good… but that’s not why we’re complaining.

Very excited about the Serious Play Conference coming to Rochester next week! Anyone I know traveling in? #seriousplay seriousplayconf.com

Who knew a threenager and newborn at the same time would be tough? 🫠🙃

“I’m coloring me!” #toddlers

“What’s that girl doing?” “I think she’s a mermaid!” “Is she holding two worms?” #toddlers

Today’s Strands puzzle has a special theme! I’m so thrilled to have contributed to this wonderful team effort 😊. Check it out when you get a chance!

We just wrapped preproduction on our huge sequel project codenamed “Sunny”! These first few days of alpha have been intense! But the team is solid and we’re learning as we go :).

My mom visited Portugal for a wedding and brought back a “traditional dress” for Lenni. But I think it’s a Mirabel costume?

Just finished a great trip to NYC for the NYT games onsite gathering! Here are some photo highlights from the trip: First: arriving to the office on a rainy Tuesday
