Ball State University is hosting their game symposium later this year - we have track for games. Would love for game devs to bring their games out to showcase. If you're writing / academically inclined, there's space for that too.

If anyone is at Origins, this game is a lot fun!

It’s more pop psychology, but Gretchen Rubin calls people with this tendency ‘Obligers’ in her book The Four Tendencies

You might enjoy Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23, where James Van Der Beek plays a factionalized version of himself!

I haven’t played any Dragon Ages yet. What’s the best one to start with (particularly for playing on Steam Deck)?

Also, Slay the Spire was a mega hit at the same time that physical deckbuilding games were popular and inspiring designers (driven by Dominion’s success in 2008)

I’m going to GDC but *also* many IU students are going *and* they’ll be demoing their work at our booth in GDC Play Wed and Thur afternoons. Stop by and check out the games!

It’s hard to focus on it, but I’ll be at GDC this year, manning an IU booth. Who will be around to hang out, particularly Monday or Tuesday?

I’ve found it helpful to use tinted lenses to reduce migraines or make them more bearable but changes in barometric pressure are still tough. Good luck!

Seriously thinking about taking the train to GDC again this year

Now, IF you DO want to form a relationship with a university to be an early training program, that can be set up. Volunteering for advisory committees is a great way to shape a program. Your studio can also donate $$$ - I guarantee universities WILL NOT SAY NO. We’ll even name a building after you!
