“I am a narrative desginer and I don’t like long narrative sequences. I like gameplay”, Karrie said.
🚗If you’ve played Pacific Drive you know what she means. 😍 Thank you for your amazing talk!

There’s still time to sign up for She Got Game 2026 and learn from the best. #prohelvetia #womeningames
I had a wonderful time talking narrative design to the brilliant talent in this year's She Got Game program via IGDA Switzerland! Any talk that incorporates Birdo is a good one imo 🤌

💖 Thanks for having me @stefonair.bsky.social @natashaskult.bsky.social @igda-ch.bsky.social ProHelvetia 💖

How on earth can any government allow a car as huge and heavy and dangerous like this to be manufactured and driven. Climate change is real. And its source is stupidity, egoism and political apathy.

Students of mine created this amazing Ping Pong 🏓 app called King Pong: Track your matches and climb the ladder to be the most infamous ping pong player. I think it works worldwide! Try it out on king-pong.ch. It's still in prototype stage, but already working well.
