Even browsing Twitch itself for games (as opposed to just following a curator) is a nightmare 😅

This! This! This is so on point and important!
(I find Nintendo shop visibility totally dysfunctional too btw)

When you organize an event, write down the fucking address. Just write it there, where you describe who is speaking, what is happening. Also put it when you are quoting it. No its not the organization address, not always. JUST WRITE IT DOWN, damn it. 😅

Now @ Gamescom Italy booth 4.1 with Becoming Saint & Football Matches (new pitch)

I wrote an Intro to Puzzle Design article🧩

This covers the usual points I discuss with people who are working on their first puzzle game. Given how some concepts can be quite abstract, I think a written piece allows everyone to digest it at their own pace.
