Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

3D printed a material I worked on recently & just want to share that it's WILDLY satisfying holding a Substance Designer material you made yourself in your hands. The forbidden gummy.💜 Would any fellow devs /artists I follow be interested in having materials they made be 3D printed? ✨

this is the best video game experience i've had all year. i love big walk. ask me about big walk. kotaku.com/big-walk-the...

hey gamers, if you like playing "Big Walk", you'll love "Going Outside With Your Friends"

It's poppin'! Gamedev PerkUp July edition had begun🥳✨

We're so sorry to hear about more layoffs this week, & that this keeps happening. This is why we continue to run and foster community spaces & events like Gamedev PerkUp - collaborating with United Videogame Workers and more to make a difference. Let's keep pushing together. ✊✊🏼✊🏾 See y'all tomorrow🌱

As I put the finishing touches to my talk for #developbrighton, I'm looking for stories from developers, of the most exceptional or outlandish things that players have done to show their love for your game. Was it unhinged fan art, multi-volume fanfic, tattoos, themed weddings..?! #gamedev

Created spaces like these because this industry, and world, is nothing without community. 💚💚

What are shareholders holding and sharing because it sure as shit isn’t responsibility

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.

Sorry, maybe I shouldn't say this but ahahah. I am very angry. So I went to Xbox's Fan Fest event to attend a preview event. And it was the most flagrant display of wealth imaginable. Five stories filled with caterers and hundreds of smiling faces there to assure me of the brand's strength.

Imagine owning Double Fine and even *considering* closing it. The history of Double Fine is the history of the games industry itself. This is a crime.

Summer Gamedev PerkUps are some of my favorite ones each year🥰 Should I make some more Gamedev PerkUp goodies / merch for y'all? 👀✨

Disco Elysium rocked face for many reasons but one was because it wasn't afraid to actually say things with meaning

🌱Announcement! Next Gamedev PerkUp will be April 18th, 10am - 2pm @ Good People Coffee's lovely venue in Santa Monica! ☕ As always, RSVP is required for attendance/name badge + we'll be doing our quick check-ins when folks arrive. See you there! ☕✨RSVP: linktr.ee/gamedevperkup

Gamedev PerkUp has grown faster than our expectations b/c of our incredible community, collabs w/ folks who are aligned w/ our own missions, & our main goal to uplift. Being able to send folks to conferences they wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise is just the beginning. Onwards & upwards💚

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Whooooosh

Absolute shame on Ubisoft management for this revolting union busting move - no matter how they try to spin it, the timing could not be more obvious. Full solidarity with the workers ✊ keep an eye out for calls of support from @uwch.bsky.social ! www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-shut...

I know plenty have folks have shared it but in case you missed it, Discord is asking for user opinions on adding AI to the platform. Give em hell and tell them precisely how you feel about it. Including the intent to leave if it's added in. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
