Thank you all โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
This is so cool!
I try not to do ranty threads anymore, but man, this Valve GDC graph has just rubbed me up unbelievably badly
This was presented as a good thing - "more games are finding success!" -- when actually the data has just been presented in a tricksy way to make it look like everything is fine
them winning this award is IMO a very important statement, especially on stage at GDC
Congratulations to the winners! Well deserved!

AI companies are paying screenwriters, lawyers, and other white-collar professionals to produce the training data needed to automate their jobs. I spoke with more than 30 workers about conditions inside this fast-growing and extremely secretive new gig economy.
We are so ready for folks to come by tomorrow!

This is #whatagamedevlookslike in plural - but it's also what a cultural producer and a theater director look like, and what educators look like, and writers and editors and excited Europeans look like after setup at the IGF pavilion.
Shout-out to the fab contributors that stayed in Berlin โค๏ธ
In a few days and we'll be at IGF with Mini Mini Golf Golf. It has been a crazy time and beyond what we expected for our very first game. Thanks to all that have supported us along the way, please say hi if you happen to be at GDC as well!

@allwillrise.bsky.social is shaping up to be fantastic as well! Environmental politics, beyond-human phenomenologies and complex speculative futures should be a whole genre within the indie game space!

back when i was in tech and doing games part-time, i hadn't considered a world where i could write for a game
i ended up chatting with a dev about how she approached her narrative game as someone without a traditional writing background and her answer really helped unlock something in my brain
this is coming to steam tomorrow!
the soundtrack was just approved for steam too ๐
((and iโm still working on the Epic store listing because the name is too long for the store there ๐
so i had to shorten it ๐ฅฒ))
