ladies, is your programming - a field dominated by rich white men - driven by fashion trends - practiced as a demonstration of status - funded by vanity projects for failsons - filled with queers trying and failing to break even that's art, sorry

I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

Making Red Rain has been one of the most meaningful life experiences I’ve ever had. I am incredibly grateful to the team at @smallloanstudio.bsky.social and to my wonderful friends for their ongoing support. Give it a go on Steam or Itch today (it’s free + only 2 hours long!) It’d mean the world❤️

This issue is one of the most important to me, personally. I had to sacrifice a lot to work at Wizards. I wrote a really funny twine game last year and had several more in the works. I stopped work on all of them when I became a D&D game designer. I lost a creative outlet that was important to me.

Currently, Hasbro’s guidelines keep us from having total ownership over the work we make in our free time. Our union aims to change that and ensure we own what we make in our free time. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

I see language all the time about how ”that’s how it is in corporate games.” I would like to see more people asking “but what if it wasn’t like that?” and “How can we change it?”

While I have had many excellent pitches I am severely lacking in pitches from non-white people and I am very aware of that. I really really really want to elevate some non-white voices with this so I urge you to apply. Please please please.

Games are made by people and game studios are made of people but game studios are also made of institutional knowledge, continuity, practices, standards, technology, resources, and IP. And those things do mean something, and it is a loss when they're discarded.

They are saying everyone will be having an “October Canon Event.” I have had too many canon events this October. Perhaps the universe can give me some filler instead. Humbly requesting a Beach Episode.
