I’m beyond thrilled to share that I’m joining Games Done Quick as their new Creative Director. I’ve been such a fan and admirer of GDQ for what feels like a lifetime. It’s a sincere dream to take what I’ve learned from building Six One and bring it to these *unbelievable* events and daily streams.

Excited to give this talk! Make sure you follow @gameworkerscon.bsky.social for more info :)

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT📢 Alyssa Mercante Nathan Grayson Rebekah Valentine This panel discusses ways the games industry and games journalism exist in concert with each other, where they differ, and which events that directly impact games have also been impacting the journalists that cover them.

This might be it: the CONCLUSION of Final Fantasy X: twitch.tv/intelligame

Fishbowl releases today. Only just learned about it properly today. Game made by a two-person team based in India, and is a semi-autobiographical look at navigating early quarantine/pandemic lockdowns in India. Definitely going to be one of the most important 2026 video game releases. PC/PS5.

Get ready to ping, zip, and boing with us on Twitch's Front Page at 2pm ET with Beast Breaker! An adorable turn based RPG, with richochet mechanics and adorable character design! Thanks to VodeoGames , @kandofactory.bsky.social for the key twitch.tv/thormungandr #ad #gifted

Some say that making a smaller game or simpler game are ways to cut down on dev time. This is also true. But if you're making a game of any size that has any sort of consistent production methodology, a good way to make everything take longer is to change standards and pipelines in production.

I'm gonna be browsing through some demos on stream in a bit! Would love to get some of your recommendations in the thread below (and help spread the @intelligame.us word a bit, haha)

I haven't had time to play any Next Fest demos, so I'm gonna do some Steam browsing and wishlisting on stream! (I'll also probably download too many demos, lol) Tell me what games I should check out! Feel free to link someone else's game or your own :)

SOME GENERAL TIPS FOR STEAM GAME DEMOS (from someone who has played so many of them) Note: These tips also apply to games in general! They're good tips!

If I can add to this from a streamer POV: Don't default to VSYNC off and UNLIMITED FRAME RATE First off, 90% of games don't need this in any way and secondly, all it means is the first thing that happens when I boot up your demo is screaming as my camera gets frame-y

I was 1/5 into writing this & thought, yeah I need to incorporate more rigorous Black political consciousness in my analytical work going forward.

I can’t believe we’re still having these same conversations. I can’t believe we still have to wonder if you’re laughing at us and degrading us when we’re not in the room. I can’t believe we haven’t burned this fucking place down. 1/5

Love this work, make sure you check it out!

It's Stream Time!

Despite being back at work, Kickstarter is retaliating against our teammates for our legally-protected strike action from last year. Tell Kickstarter’s CEO this is both ILLEGAL and UNACCEPTABLE

So. The intro has an NPC offer you booked gas station nuts. I replied "I'm allergic". This has mattered, and came up multiple times in that start. You also can talk to animals, and give a fluffy baby a nest. Buy this game.
