Here’s #WhatAGameDevLooksLike with his mom in Mexico. And here’s what they look like if they win an Emmy award!
Hi! I’m Edwin, an LA-based game designer. I’ve worked on IPs such as Justice League, Silent Hill, & more.
All my life people told me to quit pursuing game dev. So glad I trusted myself.

I was so excited to see the new Kirby Air Riders gameplay presented in the classic Sakurai level of detail, but I’m a bit sad that Top Ride mode is gone. This was actually my favorite of the original modes. Despite that, the game looks fantastic! I’m so excited for it.

@ziondood.bsky.social hi Zion! I loved your video on game key cards. I had an idea!
I wonder how Sega (and other 3rd party companies) would react to a video compilation of major gaming influencers/journalists all asking for the option for full games on a card. I imagine it could help a ton.

This month has been really challenging for me after being laid off.
I tried challenging myself to land a job by today. It didn’t happen. It’s okay. I’ll find something.
I decided to still celebrate myself on my birthday by seeing the newest Ari Aster film. Just like the rest of his work, masterful

At times I get really discouraged to keep making games. I fight this by playing works that influenced me in my childhood, or I think about my family. Other times, I listen to game music that teleport me to a time when playing games felt 100% magical, like this:
youtu.be/fG0wYNUiTXU?...

Losing your job in a volatile industry is one thing, but having it happen when extreme racism makes being Latino something to fear is a whole other story. Kidnappings in broad daylight. Concentration camps. It’s all so mentally draining. Somehow though, I escape by making games. #gamedev

@themix.bsky.social had an awesome event on a LA rooftop! There were so many great indie games to play. As a dev myself that’s dying to control my own value, I felt inspired by all of these extremely talented creators.

@gvg.io just caught the top ten multiplayer video you all released.
It made me wonder if there’s any possibility of you guys doing a top ten video on cancelled games that people WISHED they got to play. That’d be super interesting. Mother 3, StarCraft Ghost, Contra 64, Kirby Tilt and Tumble 2, etc

@jon.gvg.io I had my sister (who rarely plays games) try EMIO. She loved it and now I’m sending her your GVG video on the game.
We got another one on our side!

@duckvalentine.bsky.social hi Rebekah!
I know on NVC you were so thrilled for DK Bananza, as was I. I played it yesterday in LA, but unfortunately got bad motion sickness. The employee demoing and about 8 other attendees I spoke to, also felt the same. Are you prone to feeling that in some games?

@brianaltano.bsky.social hi!
When you played DK Bananza, did you get motion sickness at all?
I went to the LA Switch2 event, and got it within 5 minutes. The employee demoing said she had been getting motion sickness, too. I spoke to about a dozen attendees, and more than half said they did, too.

I’m so lucky! I got to play the #Switch2 today in LA.
I have too many positive thoughts for this small character limitation!
In short, I was in love. Mario Kart Knockout Tour stole the show for me. Prime 4 was visually the most impressive. Zelda BotW in 4K nearly made me cry! #nintendo
