Prune, my digital bonsai game about cultivating what matters, just turned 10!

In an age of endlessly fractured attention, I still believe it has something to offer--now more than ever. So to celebrate, I'm finally bringing it to PC.

Found this section in GDC application extra funny because my cat named Zero, and I can definitly see him using a moniker like "zero cool"

I swear GDC always put all the fun talks for same audience at the same time slot

My design talk is exactly the same time as 3 other design talk I want to go
My advocate roundtable is the same time as 2 other advocate roundtable I want to go

Played this game for IGF and it is super delightful and well made. I enjoyed every moment of it~~(as I did for most Wadjeteye games)

I forgot to add which hall for IGDA event. They are all in South Hall

Monica's GDC plan
Anyone wanna meetup?

Riiiight? I always consider myself as far away from esport as a game dev can so I was just sooooo confused lol

Have you played speed dating for ghost? Super cute game highly recommended (not an esport tho)

Someone asked if Himbo Hunter is interested in being part of esports competition.

This marketing spam makes me wonder. what does an esport tournament for dating sims look like?

Speed run? dating as many people as possible? first to date the best person? ??

In hindsight i'd probably benefit from take some longer time off and recover first but I ain't have those luxury given (gesture at everything)

Also if you are still reading, sorry I don't know shit about B2B sales

I have beaten myself in the past year for not achieving as much as I wanted or being unable to maintain friendships due to fatigue.

The bad loop of being too tired to book medical appointments leads to worsening infections to nearly losing the function of my face and maybe a few teeth.

What does Root Canal teach me about B2B sales:

Gum infection sucks, it is not just causing a lot of pain and sensitivity but if it is really bad (in my case) it also impacts the emotional and cognitive levels.

I may have accidentally been an ass in the past months and I am so sorry.

Yes!! I would be interested!

I most do English to simplify Chinese translation or simplified/traditional Chinese to English

Thank you Alanna <3

Happy Chinese New Year!

Big holiday like this is always complicated due to cptsd and complicated family situations

But I will be stuff my face in food nonetheless

Magfest was so much funnnn I'm so thankful I was able to go 🙏 Ty @teamkdgames.bsky.social for the opportunity!

💜 @magfest.org see you next year hopefully

We did it! Video will be on YouTube Magfest later

Thank you so much ~~~
@acaseofcroson.bsky.social @majesticgaming.bsky.social @quillkeeper.bsky.social

Thank you for all the stuff you do at MAGPIES! Spending time there was amazing

Thank you!! I would love to hear any feedback

OO yea, it usually comes with a sad story. I try to be helpful to point them to places to promote themselves/get work but they just keep ignoring it and ask me for money...

Good to know I am not the only one being targeted tho, the whole convo is so baffling to me

!! Has this ever worked? I’m so confused

I have recently been reach out by two randos on discord who is basically trying to coerce me into paying them for art??

Is this the new scam or something?

I forgot to say I will also bring badge ribbons for Himbo Hunter and Neurodivergent which I am happy to give out while supplies last~~
