2026 year of the anthology

lfg

I've been talking about this with some people, and I really think this might happen, and I'm going to do my part as well to make it so. 2026 the year of anthologies and magazines and building communities through making things together. I'm starting early with eraserflag: ehronlime.itch.io/eraserflag

[SOUND ON!]

"Do you know... that your words have power?"

A quick preview of what's to come. Here's the first #motionposter for "THE KNIGHTS AT PORT DELANEY" - the first original #indiegame by #mwfstudio!

Catch a preview at #comicfiesta this weekend!

i am so normal about this ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA

every day in the university staff room is another day i inflict psychic damage on my colleagues

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

A graph showing the relative number of female to male players of Sega Channel games.

We don't get a lot of data about the gender breakdown of specific games, so I wanted to graph the ratio of female to male players for games released on Sega Channel.
The data is from a document acquired by the Video Game History Foundation: archive.gamehistory.org/item/0bb0d61...

2026 is gonna be my year

me loudly in the staff room: "[...] so in my academic opinion the kids of today don't got SWAG"

There's more and more situations where I'm being asked to talk about what is #gamedev and #videogames to a non-games audience (esp kids) - so I made some slides on it, and I'm sharing it here! 🗣️🗣️🗣️ wahoo

many rambles many things!!! i miss everyone. im excited to show you all the cool things mwf and that one are doing. i miss my friends. i need a nap. im off to have dinner now

-is so visible and incredibly loud, and some days where it doesn't seem to be existing at all. i have a firmer idea on the things i want to do, the changes i want to try my hand at, and the things i want to achieve. excited to get to work but figuring out how to pace myself (i have made myself sick)

idk! that's almost five years of being in gamedev professionally+almost three years in academia+almost three years in community spaces and a bit over two years in the startup founder bubble. it doesn't feel like a lot some days, it feels insane in others. there are days where my individual growth-

been a hot minute since ive been on the app (or socmed to be fair, ive been very much on nonwork socials majority of the year) but we are very quickly coming up on my three years of being in education+close to five years of being in gamedev professionally and woof!!!!!! feelings

omg 🥺 thank you
