NYC’s indie game community is a constant source of energy. Through @gumbonyc.bsky.social we’ve worked with devs like @thomasofwilson.bsky.social on Myrtle Grove and Citrus. Gumbo's been integral in keeping us connected to experimental design, narrative experimentation, and new technical approaches.

Making a whole flowchart for ways to become a @gumbonyc.bsky.social member, and @figma.com is an amazing tool for it!!! Hard to believe how much we've grown that we need something like this...

Games being showcased to a crowd under the bridge. There are pride flags hung all around the ceiling. A big sign reads DUMBO in the background in teal letters.

My Games for Change badge. It says "Noa Beazley she/her, Composer, independent"
