It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.
If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.
Everyone give this a share after.
AI was everywhere at GDC this year, but developers I talked to were against the idea of using AI to help make their games.
โI feel like the human mind is so beautiful,โ said one. โWhy not use it?โ

Hey devs,
We are a small, family-run publisher based in Switzerland.
We are currently looking for PC games to publish this autumn, as well as for 2027 and beyond.
We'd love to see your projects!
We look forward to receiving your pitches at: chat@metaroot.ch
Crediting people takes very minimal effort to do but they come up with the most insane takes to not do so. ๐
I tried to contact my former employer Kongregate several times about several games where my name was omitted from and they still wouldn't do it. It's frustrating when I was the only one from my community team that just never got the credit. ๐
Congratulations to Gameheads for an incredible GDC. Special thanks to @ilmvfx.bsky.social @doublefine.com @blackingaming.bsky.social @latinxingaming.bsky.social @aapiingaming.bsky.social @officialgdc.bsky.social and C.J. Kershner for an amazing week.
God this is so awful, I absolutely loathe places that just don't want to give credit where credit is due.
Next Fest demo reviews are in! Have you tried the demo yet?

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers?
The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 โค๏ธโ๐ฅ

Fantastic event. Immediate highlight of the week. ๐
sometimes #WhatAGameDevLooksLike is a 5โ4โ she/they with excellent takes on kingdom hearts and questionable decisions in her roguelike runs.
so happy to be 4+ years into launching games on the marketing/social side of things and nowhere near done! โค๏ธ

JC has pink and purple hair and is wearing sunglasses, a black sleeveless hoodie, and a silver necklace with a pizza charm on it. She is in front of a bunch of flowers that look like they are exploding out of her head. The sky is blue behind her.
This is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! Iโm JC, Iโve been a gamedev for 10+ years in AAA/indie, and I am currently lead producer and (NEWLY MINTED) COO at my studio, @twirlbound.com! I love making cool stuff with cool people, developing sustainable career paths, and of course yelling (lovingly) about Jira โจ
In 2019, I created #WhatAGameDevLooksLike after I was stopped by security 3(!!) times while picking up my speaker badge. Iโm a small Asian woman with pink hair, and I guess I didnโt visually meet their expectations of a speaker.
Ironically, I was at GDC to speak about inclusive studio cultures. ๐ซ
Thank you for attending our first ever Ctrl + Unite! We look forward to doing this again next year!
