Hype!

3 grad school apps down, a couple more to go

good art does not always seek to make a point, but bad art regularly seeks to avoid making one

Two people posed dramatically in front of the gdc festival of gaming info desk holding a sign that says “what is BRG?” And a puppet of a rabbit combing out of a hat respectively

I had another great GDC this year. I enjoyed working as festival crew/conference associate. As for live stuff I loved the serious games round table, and the sustainability and accessibility workshops in particular.

all video games should be designed to be playable with one hand, as an accessibility feature. for people who have one hand. and for people who have cats

Looking forward to the GDC next week. For those who are around, see you there!

Kids, if you're making a game and want to run it on a steamdeck or switch

your text size needs to be bigger

no, bigger

c'mon coward, bigger!

what is this, A GAME FOR ANTS? BIGGER

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

Mockup of a main menu for a game called "Dragon's Tears" text on the left reads "New Game" "Continue" "Settings" and "Quit" Graphics are neon and pastels with mideval-esque script

Made this little main menu screen for the main menu jam on this weekend.

Running a dnd 5e game with 4 players who have all dm-ed multiple games puts you in a situation where unless a fight is balanced to be at least 3x the deadly encounter level the team can beat any 1-6 monster encounter in roughly 1 turn

The most powerful narrative device a game can deploy is "throw you back to the main menu but it's different"

Against 'Metroidbrania': a Landscape of Knowledge Games What are knowledge games? How do we relate them to each other? What sub-genres exist – and which ones might be implied?

I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.

The new Florence + The Machine album is very good

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

A blue background. The top two thirds appears to be in a large speech bubble. Text inside reads "World Suicide Prevention Day. 10 September." Beneath the bubble is the logo for the International Association for Suicide Prevention, their website (www.IASP.info/WSPD), and a World Suicide Prevention Day orange and yellow ribbon.

Changing the narrative on suicide requires systemic change, shifting from a culture of silence & stigma to one of openness, understanding, & support.

For #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we're sharing resources for anyone who needs them. If you or someone you know is struggling, there is help available.

The Game Accessibility Conference is one of the highlight game conferences each year and I can't wait to (virtually) attend!

GOALS. Making an indie game that's so popular it breaks digital stores.

Playtesting at pax west ^_^

every time i ask some non-gamedev friends to playtest something, they always say something like "i hope i was useful, i feel like i was just playing the game..."

sweetie thats your job!!!! i need your normie eyes!!!! your normie gamer eyes!!!!

PAX west has been a great experience!

to the game devs that may see this: please give us the option to turn off motion blur as I'm sure there are people like me who cannot play a game with motion blur as it makes me feel sick and not having the option is a super bad feeling

Finally getting around to playing Deltarune’s latest chapters, and damn, do I love that game.

A digital drawing made to look like a journal or scrapbook page, with photos and papers taped onto the page and the text "this is the perfect moment to start". There is a drawn polaroid of a cat, a drawing of some trees and a sun, a landscape and a heart and flower sticker.

Steam users can now search by accessibility tags - Can I Play That? Steam made it possible for users to search for games by accessibility features. The tags are available in search and games' store pages.

We first reported on Steam's accessibility tags in April, when it was available for developers to add to their games.

Now, Steam users can filter their search results by accessibility features. The tagged features are also visible on a game's store page.

Its really good for needing to be high energy in a meeting, and for not being as sleepy in the late afternoons, and for getting rid of extra antsy energy when I've been at the computer too long. But I don't keep it in standing mode any more than like 10% of the time

I fear that at all times I’m working on 3 entirely separate creative projects at once, and no one can stop me
