Happy Weekend! My tiny Over the Garden Wall adventure game has hit 10k plays on itch.io๐ŸŽ‰! It's FREE to play https://juliaminamata.itch.io/otgw -- A nice way to spend a cozy half hour or so indoors. โ„๏ธ There's also a walkthrough, no worries about getting stuck!

An estimated 35,000 people in Gaza, including both children and adults, have suffered partial or complete hearing loss as a result of bombings during the two-year conflict, according to a report by Le Monde citing a survey from a local non-profit organization.

Officially looking for work again! My contract ended a week ago so I'm back on the job market.

If anyone is looking for an experienced character technical director for video games, I know a guy (it's me).

Steam intentionally killing an old, respected, and beloved decade old indie game studio through bullshit policy is fucking wild

Steam has recently begun refusing to grant developers keys for their own games. In the absence of clear rules or guidance, Valve led developers for years to believe they could request keys as needed, building communities and businesses outside Steam while still creating value for Steam users. It now withholds keys from indie developers who do not meet undisclosed sales thresholds. Our multiple requests for keys for our previous game, Saturnalia, were denied without any specific criteria we could work toward to resolve it. As a result, we have been unable to include the game in bundles we had planned to help recoup development costs for our next project, HORSES. This policy shift was never communicated and has been applied retroactively to existing titles. Developers and partners are understandably reluctant to speak publicly or challenge Steam, since as a de facto monopoly it holds disproportionate control over our business.

It's important because not only some games take 10+ years of your life, but also now employers are only looking for "proof" of your experience

I was a speaker at GDC 2019 and wasn't able to be there because of visa issues! If you want an offline event, make it in an accessible country!

Every idea starts with a blank page and the courage to show up.
Some days itโ€™s messy, some days it flows, but with consistency the work continues quietly.

Headphones on. Pen ready.
Whatโ€™s coming next is worth the perseverance.
Stay tuned.

Ink IF Story Template by Rรฉmy Vim A free template for Ink stories

I have a big backlog project written in Ink, which stalled a while back as I couldn't quite get everything I wanted working. I was looking through the InkJam resources list and this web template was listed.

Does pretty much everything I need!
