I'm late to playing this but here's a recommendation of a game that isn't a puzzle game: Consume Me! It was really good, really personal, made me cry a few times. 10/10 no notes. I loved it.

did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!

I thought the man walking past me was holding a bouquet of flowers but it turned out to be the largest cone of chips I've ever seen in my life.

Hey, you

The Micro Fiction Games Jam is running right now. Can you make a game that is just 280 characters long? I bet you can. Give it a go.

Tell your friends.

Learning a new language is hard but it will be so worth it when I can tell strangers things like "at the weekend I like to play football" and ask the important questions like "where is the library" 🙃

My controversial take is that if you didn't get credited on a game you have proof you've worked on, just list it on your CV.

I do with one. Never had any issues.

Not being credited still sucks but you don't need to be polite when they're not.

Thank you so much!! 🥰🧡💛
Really enjoying @mairispaceship.com 's talk on diegesis and mimesis in game puzzle design, strikes me these concepts are especially useful for typologising information games or "metroidbrainias"

I'm having a very nice week in Helsinki in the snow with nice games people 💖

This is probably not the right attitude but I am at SLUSH in Helsinki this week and I absolutely do not want any techbro nonsense. I don't wanna hear about your LLM, AI, crypto, NFT whatever. I am here for tasty cinnamon buns and to meet nice games people only. Emphasis on cinnamon buns.

The temperature is getting colder here in London, so this is an excellent time to remind you that every hour, the monster goes out to the weather station in London to check the temperature and sets the price for A Good Snowman is Hard to Build to match the weather.

I might do a mailbag episode of the Draknek & Friends podcast to fill a gap in the schedule while Syrenne takes a vacation - anyone have any questions they want answered on a podcast? Bonus if you send it as a voice recording to [email protected]!
