If you wanna support me, sjhdoesgames.carrd.co has links to both my Ko-Fi and my itch page where you can buy my game Final Spike. Working on a second game to put up there (not Shootlanzer). >>

5 decades later, this is still a quintessential NYC movie. The way it’s funny as a way to deal with the everyday messes of the city is basically how we get through day to day (especially when one is a regular subway rider.)

I made 10 Lost Boys in 2020. Not sure I expected the game to be relevant five years later, but here we are. samplereality.itch.io/10-lost-boys

Experimental Games Showcase SUBMIT YOUR GAME TO THE

Submissions to the Experimental Games Showcase at GDC are now OPEN through October 24, 2025! Please send us the weird shit you're working on! More info about the session and where to submit can be found on our NEW website here www.experimentalgamesshowcase.com

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

One issue generally overlooked in the whole screenwriter vs gamewriter, discussion is time.

Beyond anything to do with training, ability, style etc is the amount of time screenwriters get to invest in a script.

Whilst there are time pressures on any writer, the vast amounts of script that-

I love this clip so much. Dean Jones is sweating bullets but he finally nails it.
Didn’t know you were also a Sondheim fan!
