Dear Network. I’m in need of your help! Currently i’m running a project called The Game Project for young adults with a backpack to learn how to create games. We have reached a point where sadly the Dutch Government has ended funding for this. We were supposed to run a second

The reason this means the absolute world to me is the positive impact this is having on the students I teach right now. Important to know the students pay zero for it. We want to do this for them for free!

Ableton / Gamemaker and many more. They spoke with professionals like yourself and this was the project I mentioned to you guys many times. Do any of you know how or where I should start with being able to fund this so we can give these students there entry into this beautiful

batch of students for March but due to funding missing I had to make 20 people extremely sad. It’s mainly for me the funding. I can’t do this for free sadly. It’s not feasible. But it means the world and to them to do this. They have learned how to use Godot / Unity / Aesprite

Tired of only being wanted when others need something rather than when I need them they are no where to be found To the question here, how are you doing? I feel a heavy depression creeping in.

Coming Tuesday! Anyone?

Not coming Tuesday but the Tuesday after and Thursday after i’m looking for another Gamedev who would love to talk to curious 11/12 year olds. It’s for the 17th and 19th. One very early morning and the other the afternoon.

Sadly my game didn’t get far with the Safe in Our World Mental Health Jam. We did this in a matter of 4 days. Proud still of my incredible team @steelfishstudios.bsky.social and @fairycreation.bsky.social <3 Now we build the next step for our game.

Wrote a game about my life. Not finished yet but enjoy the first 3 chapters - justsimy.itch.io/she-tells-he...

As some know I work in education and the game I wrote for the jam was to be used in schools. On Thursday I was confronted with students left and right bullying each other. Made me realize I need to hurry up the translation of my game to Dutch.

Help is appreciated

Looking for a couple of Game Devs willing to listen or give feedback to ideas for video games from my students om their projects so far and at the end of it. We do these sessions now at 19:30 Amsterdam Time. But you can also give feedback in writing. Would 1000% appreciate it

I kept feeling no one saw what I posted anymore. That I spoke just in a void of ads. Here I feel seen.

Kiwi, but on Bluesky@kiwionthesticks.bsky.social

Being on bluesky without fighting through a sea of bots and ads made me realize I don’t dislike social media, I disliked not being able to be social on social media

I’ll never forget that my first way deeper into Video games was taking pictures in them. #ACOdessey / #HorizonZeroDawn / #GhostofTsushima / #ConcreteGenie / #Control / #NoMansSky and many more.

Seeing how the other thing is now compared to how it was, yeaaaaars ago, been there since the start of that platform, world of difference. Cannot wait to build new memories and share more art and games with you all.

Today as I teached I realised again how important my game will be for this generation. The groups had lessons about Bullying and such. The impact of the workshops wasn’t great. Mine should be..

Starting a huge project tomorrow for the next 6 months and i’m so trilled for it! So excited to show young adults the magic of game dev! We are also sponsored by 2 huge companies! I cannot wait!

You are up to date.
