Looking forward to reuniting with my fellow GDC panelists @ninfadp.bsky.social @drjclau.bsky.social @osamadorias.bsky.social to talk about unusual paths into and through the games industry during the @gamerella.bsky.social game jam!

Gamedev friends, this is more proof that we are not to blame for the current state of our industry.
