Hello friends 🐾
Today we're talking a little about care, community and the second of our game projects (with the temporary name "Riscrittora" = "The Rewriter").
We send to you all the best energy we can on those terrible days.

This is one of the projects we are working on, it's provisionally named "Loop", and it's a game about investigation, grief and masculinities. Stay tuned 🐾
Hello pals <3
We are working on two projects on those months. One has the temporary name “loop” (surprise: you are stuck in a time loop). It will be made entirely of cardboard, and we wanted to share our experiments with you. What do you think? <3

A test of how effective your code of conduct & support structures for an event are is if they can apply equally to the event’s leader. This is excellent news for the health of A MAZE as an event and the safety of those who work on it and attend. I’m so sorry for those harmed a-maze.net/cocviolation/

so the mental model I use is that we don't just 'make' a game, we 'discover it', and that the best way to make something that is novel is to really pay attention as it's being developed and change course when you discover something you didn't know, and user testing is an ideal way to do that

In case you didn't catch it at the GDCAs: HIRE A GAME WRITER 💖

Thank you so much @alexaray.bsky.social for reaching out to me to write/lead this silly little skit about a very personal topic (and get to bust out my Sarah McLachlan impression).

my personal games of the year: caves of qud, consume me, closer the distance, despelote. each one of them experimental and ambitious, painting with a wildly varied palette — and each so worth your time

Qualche giorno fa ho fatto una bella chiacchierata con Marcello d'Arco di Ex Machina. Abbiamo parlato di videogiochi, identità, responsabilità.

Thank you for supporting my Dream.

In my spare time i'm trying to create a little solo game.
Usually I write and make the game design, so progamming is a little hard (but thank Inkle for Ink 🥰), but make the graphic is harder😅
So, making those three places and give them some coherence is a really big achievement 😁

I understand what they’re trying to communicate with this ESRB box, but not only is it vague to the point of uselessness for parents but in this political climate it feels like a poor choice of phrasing

When I say that I have a non-monogamous relationship, it's less 'cause I have two partners, and mostly' cause I live with this little adorable demon 🐶

Il primo post qui deve essere qualcosa di importante 🍉
After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.

I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share!
