I HAVE NO-ONE TO TALK ABOUT CANADA’S DRAG RACE AND HOW F-N GOOD IT IS

Despite not attending on principle this year, it's weird to see people attacking someone for providing helpful tips on how to navigate San Francisco during GDC.

We need to make the right call for ourselves, but that should not include projecting hate onto someone who is trying to provide help.

Dear Kiwis, I'm in travelling throughout the country soon, and am wondering if anything game devvy is happening during this next month. Got a lot of ideas for Wellington and Chch, but not so much Auckland or Dunners.

HELLO. I AM IN A GAME.

This is what I've been working on for this last year, working with a small team inside Capy. Find Your Words is a short adventure game that highlights non-speaking kids and the ways they communicate. It also has me in a 3" inseam.

SHARE THIS OR ELSE.
