We believe in accessibility and player preference, so we have made sure the filter effects and lighting are toggleable in-game at the push of a button. How will you explore Nichishima this Halloween? 👻⛩️🔦

A typhoon hit Hanoi. My inlaws are safe but are without power and we can't get supplies to them. But some families have lost their homes. If anyone donates £10+ to www.bluedragon.org/emergency-fl... I will give you a copy of our game as thanks. Help @bluedragonchildren.bsky.social ❤️

So turns out I can't reply to DMs on here anymore because I have verified my age. If you need me, send me an email.

Nothing came of this, we were just put on hold for months. I did give you another chance in 2025 and you did nothing with it. Should we even expect any ESEA Heritage Month celebrations? Or should me and my family go elsewhere?

…as we share them across the coming months. If you’re open to it we can put you in touch with a local community connector or networker to talk through what’s happening?

We really do want to involve as many people as possible and I do hope you can consider giving us another chance in 2025.

I'm glad to hear you guys haven't been affected, I don't doubt the talent of the devs, I have doubts about the people at the top.

Got some really sad news today, one of my Irish relatives asked if I could help work on a young lads game. He has cancer and his is unable to finish it himself, it's in Roblox which I'm not familiar with. Do I know any #gamedev that use it? 😞

Gaming is changing. It has been becoming more about the business than the creativity, about investors than the devs, and about milking the player dry every month with new ways to spend insane amounts of money. I believe in the golden age of gaming and want to bring it back. #gamedev

I've been doing some research on a film for a project I'm working on and I've fallen into a rabbit hole. There is part of the lore I just can't find anymore so is there any Blair witch fans that can help me find where they see the other person in the house? #horrorfilms

TJ - Sakura Studios 🌸 @thejackofalltrades.bsky.social · Jun 23

Considering streaming again, spent years making a channel and growing it just to not use it seems like a waste. Its just finding time! 😄

TJ - Sakura Studios 🌸 @thejackofalltrades.bsky.social · Jun 23

I'm curious, can you show too much? Like when working on a game is there such thing as revealing too much? Do people prefer teasers and not showing alot? Genuinely want to know #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgames

Podcasts are a great way to make content and still feel a sense of socialising and connecting. Alot of our team are remote workers so we have a video call meeting every now and again, it helps.
