Creativity doesn't require talent. Many people just lost the ability to play. Have fun with an idea, and not let rational thinking dominate. The unexpected combination of things, experimentation. Letting go of perfectionism.

Once I just like... Gave myself permission to write about what I care about instead of trying to force myself to focus on the topics I covered in the past, I've found myself with countless ideas, more ideas and enthusiasm than I've had in years.

"My work is to ensure people are healthy, but health without happiness isn't worth much. Playing games makes people happy, doesn't it? Why don't we collaborate? I'll keep people healthy, you keep them happy."

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."
Pq democratizar a arte não é toda pessoa ter um desenho bonitinho feito em segundos, democratizar arte é toda pessoa ter tempo e saúde pra aprender e produzir arte se quiser mas principalmente ter condição pra pensar e se relacionar com arte com introspecção.

One of the resources mentioned at the Prosocial Design Workshop at #GDC2025 was the Digital Thriving Playbook 👾

digitalthrivingplaybook.org

It has a lot of interesting modules and resources on both prosocial design as well as helping players thrive in our games.
