what a lovely story 🩵

Rami Ismail (رامي) @ramiismail.com · Mar 13

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

ahhhh okay, well, this feels quite awkward but:

I am interested in mentoring a person who is ambitious and passionate about pursuing sound design for games and is a woman / non-binary / someone of a marginalized gender.

Here's my website portfolio to prove I'm an actual person: angela-geiss.com

hoping to demo Winnie's Hole at Good Game Dev Club tonight - if you're there, please have a go and let me know what you think of our weird grotesque turn-based roguelite

(where you play as a virus inside Winnie-the-Pooh - yes, you read that correctly and I'm so sorry)

the text "Winnie's Hole" at the top in big yellow letters; underneath, winnie lies in wait with lots of grotesque mutations.

he looks happy.

I didn't think I'd make it in time for #ScreenshotSaturday but I managed to spruce up the swimming pools scene in Vaporwave Pinball.

I do enjoy a lil bit of weekend #gamedev ❤️

this one got me yesterday 🎧

Jamie D @uk-resistant.bsky.social · Jan 28

I spent 40 mins looking into why my game's audio was delayed and it turns out it was the highly complicated and technical issue of *checks notes*

"listening to your game through Bluetooth headphones"
