My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart

If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.

someone already sent this to at least one WIP horse game asking devs to consider more horse-friendly stabling options and while I don't think my article really contained any """news""" about horse welfare, I LOVE that it's empowering people to ask games to do better in this regard 🙏💜

The Gentrification of Video Game History We’re not all suburban kids who got a Nintendo 64 for Christmas

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities:

AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

Presentation title slide: "To PBR or Not PBR" on materials workflow for 3D art

Presentation slide: "What's this talk about? General guidelines for texturing 3D models in video games. Realistic vs. stylized rendering methods. Optimization tips. How to avoid errors in common lighting models."

Presentation slide: "Clip (camera) and screen coords: Center of coordinates: Clip = center of the view. Screen = top* or bottom* left corner. *Depends on the API"

Presentation slide: "Non-PBR: It can be anything, really. Flat-shaded. Toon-shaded: It requires altering normals to stylize shading shapes. Metallic surfaces don't work well with celshading. Outline: Can be per-object. Manually-made (inverted-faces husk, cheap). Via shader (not the most efficient). Postprocessing (various shader methods, like sobel test on depth and normal buffers)"

I want to do another one of these but for rigging and other animation methods. Where should I submit a talk like that?

(I think people enjoyed this one on materials that I gave at last September @indiedevday.bsky.social.)

my fav game jams consist on:
- no winners for best *anything*. you're already jamming, that should be enough
- food that goes beyond cold pizza every night
- varied drinks (no alcohol, no enegy drinks stronger than coffee/tea)
- an enforced safe space policy
- alternative engines and mixed media

Gina always goes above and beyond to ensure people feel welcome in any space she's in, whether it's in the studio or at the games conferences she generously gives her time to.

Her upbeat personality and dedication to giving back to the industry make her a joy to have as a colleague.

Loved Play the confrontational short story by Alexander Ocias.

At the time I discovered "Loved" by Alexander Ocias, over a decade ago, I was so amazed by how well the game integrated its message into the gameplay, but also how much you can still interpret into it. It's a game I still keep thinking about.
