Espรฉrons que รงa s'amรฉliore quand mรชme. Savoir raconter des histoires, c'est pas ce qui paie le mieux des factures, mais je ne vois pas pourquoi รงa deviendrait un jour inutile ! ๐ŸŒธ

Soutien ! C'est pas le plus fun,a cause de l'aspect rรฉpรฉtitif (mais tjrs vachement plus que de faire le dossier/contrat, les factures et de rรฉclamer les sous, des fois que รงa aide a relativiser ;) )

Ugh... Now I would need also a guide about which films have AI and which does not. A lot of friends in VFX said it's replacing workers super fast in this industry (worse than video games) and they don't seem to be able to do anything about it :-/

And if possible, on the release day!

I also cannot afford to buy all my friends' indie games, but please, if you ever can afford that, buy it day one and leave a review ๐Ÿ’–

Nothing has more impact (well, I guess except if you're a very well-known content creator or journalist ;) )

Pour les 3 premiรจres annรฉes post bac je recommande aussi les BUT MMI partour en France. Une partie font de l'alternance (ou vous รชtes payรฉs et pas l'รฉcole) et le contenu est tb ๐Ÿ’– Il y a des quotas de bac STI donc meme si c'est selectifs les bac STI ont de bonnes chances.

Au cas oรน รงa soit utile ร  quelqu'un, j'ai eu des rรฉponses par ailleurs ;) Le plus clean, รงa serait d'installer l'hรฉbergement sur ma box (faut voir si c'est pas trop galรจre), sinon Hetzner (allemand) sinon OVH fr (iels ont un service IA, mais c'est moins mis en avant que les Infomaniak par exemple).

Question pour les devs Fr : qu'est-ce que vous recommanderiez comme hรฉbergement de site web fiable et clean (pas d'IA Gen, yuk, dans le genre greenwashing รงa se pose lร ) ?

J'ai prรฉvu de faire un petit site pour le lancement de The Abbess Garden (pour avoir l'air pro, tout รงa ;) )

No idea about the deck but very pretty!

Would totally be doing it too if I wasn't launching my game in less than 2 months ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Hi Zoe! I really liked your article on cozy games in Mothership. If you can share your email with me, I'll be happy to send you a review key to my little historical gardening game The Abbess Garden :) (it has real plants, queer romance, a spy plot and is inspired notably by Botany Manor)

Love that! I am a bit fan of 4x but I don't like the capitalistic/colonialist undertone.

Did you have specific inspiration when creating your game? :)

I am so busy finishing my game, but I hope I'll get some time to play your demo soon!!!! :)

Oui, surtout que c'est rarement en fin de carriรจre que tu as le plus besoin de sous. ร‡a compense un chouilla l'usure du travail, mais รงa ne me semble pas la meilleure solution.

Un des bons cรดtรฉs de la fonction publique, c'รฉtait la grille de salaire sur Wikipedia. Pas de malentendu. Augment uniquement ร  l'anciennetรฉ. Bon les primes รฉtaient plus opaques mais je trouve le modรจle intรฉressant.
