GDC is always a highlight of my year. This one felt invigorating and inspiring, especially as a new indie.
Shoutout to #GDCScholarImpact - spending time with a consistent group at all stages of their gamedev path gave a sense of grounding and context throughout the week. Missing yall already!

That's a wrap on our WIGNYC @officialgdc.bsky.social community session!! Had a blast with everyone who came through, did the activities, and aggressively avoided networking.
