I'll be doing a Journaling for Game Makers workshop on Thurs June 12, 5pm @ Fort York Library!

There will be writing prompts and chats! You can also try some fountain pens!

I have just filled 23 pens and there's 1 left. What colour should the last pen have?

What are you doing this weekend? @garyjkings.bsky.social and I have been playing @draknek.bsky.social's A Monster's Expedition on our Steam Decks. Love how welcoming the clever puzzles feel.

Puzzles during evenings and weekends are such a lovely reset for me!

Having so much fun with @draknek.bsky.social's new puzzle game The Electrifying Incident: A Monster Mini-Expedition! @garyjkings.bsky.social took pictures of me getting zapped! 🤣⚡

Congrats on your new release, Draknek & Friends!

My partner @garyjkings.bsky.social and I are no longer travelling to GDC or any US in-person conferences for our gamedev work.

We'll be turning our eyes on Europe instead.

What are the vibes & bizdev like at Gamescom, Reboot Develop, Nordic Game, and Pocket Gamer Connects?

Please tell us more! 💜

Gary’s thread details the risk to foreigners travelling into the US. Border staff are emboldened to act in bad faith and detain with impunity… a cruel detention that can last weeks or more because Trump fired many immigration judges. This morning, detention maxed out at 47,600 detainees.

恭喜發財! Happy Lunar New Year!
Year of the Snake feels significant. The last Year of the Snake was me in an extended stay in Hong Kong after landing my first gamedev job while on holiday. I was daydreaming about one day building my own studio to present stories from the HK diaspora.

I think that we might be at the end of the road here for this generation of tech advancement. And it all comes down to one thing: The inability to care about the greater whole of humanity. 1/4

Hey dude, get it right. We have more LGBTQ+ couples than het couples and they're in amazing and healthy relationships. Sasithorn who goes by they/her; Namseon goes by they/them, and Saoul goes by they/he. And our MC Chloe can chose to get kissed silly by Sueli. 😘🌈

1000xRESIST developed by @sunsetvisitor.bsky.social & published by @fellowtraveller.games is hands down my Game of the Year, and in many ways it goes beyond GotY status.

It revived me. It told me to keep fighting for my art and my heart. It is unforgettable. Hekki grace.
