I turned 28 today. 2 years until 30! Yay, a whole decade of being an adult, and started my bachelor's over 10 years ago.

Brianna is an alumni of CSUF, having graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Cinema & Television in 2024. She worked on various projects post-grad within the spaces of indie animation, games, a webcomic, and prose poetry.

Now that you’ve met the team behind Ghost Jukebox, it’s time to introduce the characters, starting with our protagonist, Ghostie! And since it’s the last day of pride month, we’d like to emphasize that our game is led by a nonbinary and queer character. #indiestudio #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames

Hey all, and especially the cis allies out there: Things are dire in this country for trans people. Sharing memes & yelling at strangers won't help us, but direct aid to trans individuals will. If you actually want to help someone, Nic needs whatever you can donate right now.

A happy place #GDC

🏳️‍⚧️ #TransCrowdFund THREAD 🏳️‍⚧️ Are you trans & in USA? Share any way we can help you below w/ funds, MA, etc. Are you cis? Please share & boost this thread, and consider redistributing funds to a trans person ITT #MutualAid #HelpSky #MABoost Rules: - Alt text images - be trans - boost others ITT

Are you a Developer who has faced hardship in the last year? This fund is for devs of color impacted by the record layoffs & other hardships in the gaming industry this last year. Please boost this for other devs in your circles, and apply if needed! 👉🏾 forms.gle/6ZhXAF5wNQ54...

Seeing people talk about the "DEI" orders but not much on the fact that they have added an A for "Accessibility" - ie, Disabled people. They are targeting disabled people too. And it looks like they are coming for the ADA.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I feel kind of overwhelmed from yesterday...and I don't know what to make of my emotions. There's so much happening all at once. :/

Here's a whole list of things you might need to hear right now (and even if you don't, we're reminding you anyway). You exist, you matter, and you do not need to explain or justify that existence to anyone. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It's the 106th Molassiversary! The Great Molasses Flood happened on January 15th, 1919 at the North End of Boston! 12,000 metric tons of molasses waves (25 ft tall at their peaks) burst from a storage tank, and rushed through the streets at 35 miles per hour!

For those who mock the #arts as 'unimportant', please take great pleasure in reminding them that an #artist somewhere is responsible for: * TV shows/series they binge/watch * Movies * Concert/gigs * Songs * Comics * Books * Podcasts * Fashion trends * Restaurant meals * Clothing * etc., etc., etc

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone: DO NOT USE TURBOTAX. THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES. Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

I got my driver's license at age 27! 🚗 🌈

UPDATE: Much of southwest California is under a red flag warning, with winds expected to peak Tuesday into Wednesday. Authorities are urging residents to heed evacuation orders and prepare for power outages.

NAIAD OUT NOW! 🪷 Finally! After 5 years of development and dedication, I'm excited to share my first game with you. Immerse yourself in a poetic, dreamlike, and serene experience. 😊 ✨ Steam (PC/Mac) ✨ PS5 / PS4 ✨ Xbox Series / One ✨ Nintendo Switch

With all the Meta being a horrible evil company and not being shy about it anymore, I feel really bad for all the VR devs fam. Meta has a monopoly on VR and you have to suck it or leave the VR gaming dev space.

Realization that this is my first official year where I’m entirely not a student anymore in any part of the year (those undergrad —> transfer —> grad school thangs). Also, sketchy experimental collage art style.

Happy Turkey Day! 🦃 We hope everyone is enjoying a lovely Thanksgiving with loved ones in the States, and eating some good food! ☺️🥧 -- #thanksgiving #digitalart #turkey #cuteturkey #kawaii #indiegamestudio #indiegamedev #cozyvibes #autumnvibes #cozy #gamedev #indiegames #indiegame

As it is Thanksgiving, I think it's important that we all remember what the holiday is really about: sacrificing turkeys to the Fowl God Gobblé Gobblé. In another celebration of His waddle, I have taken it upon myself to tell a brief summary of some of the passages of our Great Turkey:

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Ultimately what matters to me is being able to connect with my friends, industry, and wider community. The internet is still a place where I build real human connections, despite the intensive meddling by the majority of platform owners

I think I’ve moved past hoping that social media platforms last forever. Instead I hope I can get some good years out of each one and strengthen community ties before we jump to the successor

Here is a free template/guide for indie developers signing their first deal. I've seen many awful deals happen because developers didn't understand what some things meant. Hopefully, this helps. Feel free to download and share on your platforms. This doc isnt legal advice. shorturl.at/70gXm

For me, it’s pretty divided actually. Twitter by far yielded the most freelance job connections (I hope Bluesky might replace that aspect), but Instagram has historically been best for print sales (the bulk of my income). For book sales, I think it has been Instagram and Tiktok.
