Engineer in the startup space with almost a decade of running online communities under his belt.

Talking about #gamedev, #unity, and #indie games when I'm not drowning under my tickets.

Supporting indie creators is our greatest charge.
Pro #gamedev tip: don’t ask a dev why they want GDC [Festival of Gaming] moved to another city.

You like #indie games? We had 50 devs work on a submission for #brackeys this year and are now hard at work preparing for the Steam release. Don't let people tell you that the ideal team size is 4, they are hiding the truth from you. Bigger is better.

Discovered the best team size for a #gamejam is 50. Why aren’t more gamedevs doing this?

I really should post more, guess I’ll do deep dives into cool jam games I find

Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Olive and I do pixel art & animation :3

I do a lot of gameboy-compatible stuff but I also like experimenting with my style!

the absence of twitter is finally having an impact as people take their dev drama to linkedin now

I've chatted with folks at GDC about the AI bubble. The consensus is that regardless of your area, to get venture capital you have to pitch your product as involving AI. It's such a boilerplate word now but context should give away which AI we are discussing imo.

something I do for funsies is being a casting agent for a content creator. and wow, the sheer amount of spam emails is ludicrous. might need to just make another email dedicated to this and add extra hoops for people to contact me lol.

Thank you everyone for making this GDC so great this year!

I know the industry is in a bad spot all around, so it's really refreshing to be able to chat with you all, vent about things, and share the cool projects!

I'm looking forwards to following up with everyone!

Another GDC done and dusted! It really is all about the amazing people and conversations you get to have across the week that makes it so special. As always, look forward to the next time I get to hang with everyone!

Doordashed Aria Korean Street Food on a whim and their Gochujang Fried Chicken rice bowl is amazing. Should have been dashing this all week!

A first impression from PC Gamer is a great way to bookend our trip to GDC.
In this airship-building survival game, I faced an enemy worth punching trees over: 'The hubris of man'
I don't know if you can destroy mankind's wretched ambition with cannonballs, but I'm certainly going to try.

The fact #GDC doesn’t have free food is insane. Making indies pay $15 for basic entrees (or $20 for noodles lol) makes no sense. They can definitely afford a basic level of catering with actual premium options for those who wants more.

doordash sent me fully green bananas so before I leave GDC i need to find someone to take them (prolly wont bc that’s weird)

if you're in our industry, I don't care what role you're in, understanding what works and what doesn't in crowdfunding is something you should probably care about. And these slides are really the kind of thing we have events like #GDC for <3

TIL GDC doesn’t stand for Game Developers Conference, it’s actually German Developers Conference.
