I think this could help explain to my kid what I do (if it was real)

Not super original I know (and I'll be making up a new name) but it's still fun to play heh

Cody - Time in Place @codyswanson.bsky.social · Sep 3

I'd say this one is in the bag. A fun little mini game to look for in a side project I'm working on... 🎮

Happy to be at Gamescom and get to explore Köln for the first time. Saw some friends, and made some new ones, at the welcome event. It was oddly sponsored by Meta... But what are you gonna do...

As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st.
