A promotional photo of a crochet plush toy character Pip Pepper, wearing a yellow hard hat and a sweater, looking towards the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco at dusk, which is visible in the background over green foliage. Hand-drawn cartoon characters are integrated into the photo: on the bridge tower and suspension cables are a brown deer, a small yellow mouse and a red snake with a construction hat. There is also a purple squid on the far right on the sea-level. Text at the top of the image in a large white, 3D text font with a thin black outline and shadow reads: "Pip Pepper Goes to GDC โ26!" Below "Pip Pepper" is a small green sign with a black border that says, "PARK PLANNER". The text font is bold and yellow with a thick black outline. On the right side of the image, there is a grid of four white blocks with logos for the: GDC Festival of Gaming with date and location March 9-13, 2026, San Francisco, CA bubble sort studios x GAME DEVS OF COLOR , POCKET GAMER CONNECTS SAN FRANCISCO SUMMIT 2026, VERTICAL SLICE. On the bottom right corner, text in a smaller white font says "Thank you", next to the logo of the "iGDA Foundation". Text below that reads "for making it possible" with a small heart icon.
Pip Pepper goes to GDC 2026! ๐๐ค

Thank you to @igdafoundation.org for making it possible ๐๐
๐ฝ Weโll be Showcasing at the following local events:
A landscape-oriented promotional graphic for a Steam event features a split-screen design with vibrant, illustrated art. On the left, a blue grid background includes the Pip Pepper Park Planner logo and an illustrated round brown bird wearing a yellow hard hat. Below the bird, a bright pink banner reads "PLAY OUR DEMO" in bold white capital letters. The right side of the image features a dynamic, colorful illustration in shades of blue, purple, and pink, depicting a knight character with a sword facing a massive, glowing anime-like character's face in the background. Overlaid on this art is the text "WOMEN'S DAY SALE" followed by the subtitle "games by women-led studios". Across the bottom bar provides event details: Hosted on Steam , March 6th to 15th , Organized by WINGS.
Excited to share that Pip Pepper Park Planner is participating in the Womenโs Day Sale on Steam! โจ

The second half of the meme shows the same mouse with a blue cap and smile with the caption "OMG a bird". The second half also shows the titular bird character from the game Pip Pepper Park Planner.
