Good article by @im.giovanh.com about a "cozy" airport security game.

I feel there can be no canon of games that doesn't *at the very least* include tiny Finnish demoscene games, Polystation and Gameboy hacks from the Middle East and LATAM, half-translated hacked ROMs from South Europe, mobile games from Africa, and the entire corpus of mini-iterative RPGs from Asia.

Hey #PitchYaGame!
As a gymnast, I dream of a game where you have full control over your tricks. Here is “Flips and Twists”, the game I'm making.
🕹️ Complete control over the rotation
🤸🏽♂️ more than 50 tricks to try
🌪️ Chain jumps to do even crazier tricks
Like+RT = support me🙂

I've learned (and I am still learning) how to run a game studio for the last seven years doing both creative and biz. Here's a list of guidelines that work for us and might be useful for others that were lessons I've incorporated with our experience and guidance from others. 🧵

Hi,
I’m a game designer. You can find the games I’ve worked on here: astonedf.itch.io
It’s a mix of game jams and bigger projects
