Those that know me well, probably know how much crediting means to me in the gaming industry. I worked for years with the @igda.org Game Credits SIG making sure we have a solid credit policy guideline for studios to apply freely igda.org/sigs/credits/

Join our friends from GDEX today from 4-8pm EST on the GDEX Twitch live stream as they have a good time showcasing what’s coming up at GDEX 2026. They'll be raising funds for IGDA as well! Check it out: https://loom.ly/7KxA-iY

I am delighted to present the Best Free Food or Drink of #Gamescom 2026 award to Brazil Games, Hall 3.2, for facilitating this duel-wield of a beer and cocktail after my final meeting. Special mention to @igda.org for supply of the deck chair. 🇧🇷🏆🏖️

We also couldn't go without thanking the @igda.org (LocSIG) and @oreli.bsky.social, Julia Gstoettner, Alexis Biro & @florianxl8.bsky.social. You're the best! And to the hundred people who came to the localization dinner: Thank you for actively helping our beautiful profession stay alive🤍

Been working on this as part of my Levelling The Playing Field program for a while, as part of a mission of creating fairer access to knowledge. Eight 101 video courses for independent game dev, €40 each, available soon. Sign up for the launch announcement & newsletter at courses.ramiismail.com

I'm dissapointed that only 3 people noticed and messaged me about the fact I drew an old timey moustache onto @ramiismail.com in the last @thegig.bsky.social newsletter that promoted his courses 😄

When @yug.bsky.social asked me which photo to use I remarked that my press photo is so old that I don't even have my moustache yet, he reassured me with 'I got you' and then sent me this for approval 30 minutes later.

The Levelling The Playing Field 101 Courses program just hit 500 enrollments. Makes me wish I'd done this much earlier. Started work on a number of new courses given by other folks that I really trust, and have the first course translation (español latinoamericano) coming in soon.

🎮 Mark your calendars for September 30th & join us for IndieGameBusiness’s Sessions Event! Register now: https://loom.ly/miREHi8
