I honestly love it and I'm so over making excuses

Everyone is playing Starfield but I have only just installed No Man's Sky for the first time

I do my best to advocate for accessibility but I'm embarrassed to say I'm, well... Embarrassed to talk about one of my own biggest accessibility issues.

It's fairly niche and I worry that people won't take me seriously. But I probably need to have more faith in A11Y folks ๐Ÿ˜…

AAA devs, I can't say it enough, Accessibility is vital to the community. This is as important as anything in your game. If a player can't play due to a blocker then all that work is locked out to them. This is worse than your worst bug. Plan accessibility now, period, before it's too late.

If gamers want more games like BG3 and TotK, here's the deal; developers need the stability of staying at a studio long-term. And right now, least in the U.S., that is not typically how the ecosystem works.

The first one looks like poutine, but I have to know what's the deal with the second image. Is it sweet toast? It looks amazing.

I think this happens with a lot of creative fields and it's the worst when you're not given any reasoning for it ๐Ÿ˜”

Ooh I dunno, I work in edu-games right now but our target audience is always adults. I wonder if it feels more worthwhile working on stuff for younger audiences?

TV shows and movies desperately need separate audio sliders the way games have.

Dialogue is ALWAYS too quiet and sound effects are always SO LOUD please let me change it

Still on the lookout for my next senior+ or leadership role in UI/UX. I'd love to find a highly collaborative, mindful, people-first kind of studio space with diverse leadership and the right project fit.

I instinctively wanted to call them "bleets" but now I'm ok with "skeets"

Hey so... if you've done an art test for a fairly big developer, how long would you expect to wait to hear back from them?

I think that's more colours than I can actually think about at once

Got some Ohuhu markers for my birthday and I'm both excited to use them and paralysed by the indecision of what to draw

Anyone hiring for an artist? I really need to lineup some work soon as the struggles are piling up. Have credits with IDW. Open to covers and interiors. Any shares or recommendations appreciated, I really just need a chance

I really hope that "QA isn't gamedev" is the kind of discourse we're planning to completely ignore on this app. I ain't wanna see any bad takes reskeeted, y'hear?
