Screenshot from the Guiding Light game.  In the background there is a pixel art illustration of our protagonist, Uri, holding up a lantern which appears to be sentient.  In the foreground is a close up of the lantern with the dialogue "Welcome, Soul Number VCLIII...or something like that.  It's not like you're listening to me anyways.  No one ever does!"

A gameplay screenshot from Guiding Light.  There is a small pixel art image of Uri in the middle of the screen with their lantern.  They are standing in a dark stone area with purple mushrooms to the left and rocks leading up to a stone wall on the bottom and right sides.

Two pictures of cats, both of them sleeping in forests. One has a brown tail, one brown ear, and a brown patch around her eye. She has a cardinal bird resting next to her. The other is pure white with a bluejay bird perched on his back.

What's a game that you remember fondly that you don't feel like you mention enough? Mine is Rune Factory Frontier, the only Rune Factory game I've ever played

Jeremy Brenner-Levoy - The Impact of Gender Identity on Video Game Preference and Within Games Thems...

I talked to Jeremy Brenner-Levoy (@JBrennerLevoy on Twitter) for another Women-Led Games interview!

We talked about their studies in nerd culture and their dissertation about gender identity with games and game preference. You've gotta read this one!

I think it might be a cool idea worth exploring but what do you think? (4/4)

I can't tell you how many times I've talked to early game devs who say they want to keep up their skills but feel like they don't have enough time to commit between applying to jobs and performing at their day jobs (this 1000% includes me haha; 3/?)

By this I mean, if you have a busy day but can make some time for a small exercise you would have the option to practice for whichever game dev discipline you want to build or hone skills in. Or if you have a lot of time, you can do a bigger exercise. (2/?)

What do people think of a workbook created to help early game developers practice skills day-to-day through exercises that range in completion time? (1/?)
