would love to see a thread of small practical pieces of advice developers just starting out or unfamiliar with a genre might not know!
I’ll start: if you’re using a tag-based system, don’t just give everything an individual tag—look for thematic groups where similar events can lead to same outcome

What does almost 4 years of development look like?
Bubblegum Galaxy is a project that we started prototyping in early 2022, and back then, we were hoping to release in late 2023...
so happy to announce that Bubblegum Galaxy is OUT!! (≧▽≦)🎉
this is a game i've worked on for the past years at @smarto-club.bsky.social and now we can finally release it!
please check it out if you can ↓
A photo of an open co-working space. There are low, brown, leather couches, yellow and blue pillars which read "New York State LVL", half-dome shaped seating areas, and a hexagonal sign reading "You conquered New York State Level" in the rear of the room next to an arcade cabinet.
At GDC? Want free snacks, coffee, a place to rest and take meetings? Come check out the New York Business Lounge at WERQWISE SF, and play some indie games from NY!
Just one block northeast of Moscone. Open all week and open to all, no GDC pass required! See you there!

This is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! I’m JC, I’ve 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 ✨

Game exec walks into a curry house.
“Make me a pizza?”
A post from anne Galloway that reads, "Best advice I got when I entered academia: we're all smart. Distinguish yourself by being kind."
Text from quasi-normalcy on Tumblr reads, ""I'm just a smol bean uwu" No sir, what you are is someone who is so habituated to thinking of yourself as innocent that you will continue to do so even when you're guilty." A response from thepictureofmadamec reads, ""You know that thing where the most toxic person you've ever met over-relates to woodland creatures on social media? I call it Vibe Dysphoria. She'll put up a picture of a mouse in a jean jacket with 'It's me.' That is not you. I don't know how you got under the impression that you are a mouse in a jean jacket. You are an eel with a gun.She posts a toad with a basket of mushrooms like 'Me doing my little things.' Oh madam, there is nothing little about your things. You gave me psychosexual issues I'll carry to my watery grave. You are not a toad in the forest...You are a cruel woman who just happens to be small."--Chris Fleming "
This is good advice for game dev, but I would amend this with "genuine."
Some of the worst people I have met in this industry are "kind", but only when it serves or can shield them. Be genuine. Be open to criticism and feedback even when its hard to hear.
Be kind, but be real and true about it.
