Social media, but make it an eternal journey to attain knowledge?
I'm excited to share that Game Poems Issue 1 is now live at www.gamepoems.com/issue01
A new online literary magazine dedicated to exploring the artistic and poetic potential of short-form videogames by publishing new games directly in a playable format.
Thanks for playing and sharing!
FINALMENTE UM POST BOM NO LINKEDIN !!!!!
Sai do fake @andrealmo.bsky.social
it has huge potential for e-sports lol just imagine two people side by side competing to complete a level first, thousands watching and cheering.
👁️ me paying attention since (val)iant was so awesome
Paula Kelly presents a slide on agentic AI.
André Almo presents the main points brought up by one of the focus groups.
Participants discuss everyday AI topics in one of the focus groups.
One of the participants shares thoughts on AI during a focus group discussion.
I was recently in Kerry for the Age-Friendly AI's first Citizens' Think-In event! It was incredibly enriching to discuss everyday AI topics with participants. Looking forward to the next events!
I recently took a nighttime trip and had to wait for a connecting train for an hour. It wasn't too bad, though. It was dark and quiet; there was peace in that stillness. I wrote a cinquain, a poetic form created by Adelaide Crapsey, about it.

I made a short game poem about taking a bus in Dublin. I went local with its title, '83 to Kimmage'! 🚍 ☘️

Happy to have joined Age-Friendly AI today in Cork for the 50 Plus Show!
It was so enlightening to talk to older adults about their thoughts and experiences with Artifical Intelligence.
As someone who loves gamification, productivity apps, and monster collecting, it was an honour to talk to Milton Ren, the creator of Focumon!
Focumon is a gamified tool where you collect, train and evolve creatures as you focus on your tasks. 👾

Okay, I created another tiny thing...
'Tangent Book Club' is a short experience that tells the story of a group of friends who get together to discuss books, but their conversations always end up falling into tangents. 📚

We recently launched 'Greenia', a tabletop RPG where magic is connected to nature. After getting some amazing feedback, we decided to create some extra content, including unique scenarios, spells and NPCs! 🎲 🌳

Super proud of this short weekend project!
the honour was all mine, kaitlin! whenever I think that the game design world has some amazing people doing incredible, important work, you're one of the examples!
this conversation was so fun and inspiring (and you can tell i was having fun because of how much i had to say 😂). andré is an incredibly thoughtful and compassionate writer, and i'm so honored to the subject of one of his interviews; i really felt so understood. thanks for the great times!!!!!
Games can educate, challenge, and open conversations — even around topics we often avoid.
I spoke with @square2mom.bsky.social about her award-winning game (val)iant, sex ed, emotional pacing, and care through play.

It was super fun to work on this game with some friends! While not 100% intended to be a serious game, it ended up having quite strong sustainability education elements! 🌲🌿

🐞Create nature corridors in cities
🌾Allow nature to take back nooks & crannies (sometimes called “weeds”)
🦋Mow your lawn infrequently & do not fertilise it, to encourage plant diversity & 🦋
🅿️ Convert paved front gardens back to nature
“… for every 10% increase in impervious surfaces – such as roads and building cover – there was a reduction of up to 7.5% in the variety of pollinating species…”
Cities need more green & blue spaces for nature (and people) to thrive.
This was a fun little holiday project!
Please pay a virtual visit to the Swamp Bakery. 🥖✨🐸
This was supposed to be a simple web development exercise, but I just couldn't resist and ended up illustrating all characters and menu items...

Me and Maíra Amaral will be in Dublin Maker 2025 bringing the Living Beeings game to one more venue in Ireland! 🐝🇮🇪
Join us on the 30th and 31st of August in Leopardstown to play a board game about creating a bee-friendly garden. 🪴🌼

Just published an interview with comfiedev (Samuli Pietikäinen) on experimental game design, spoken word pacing, and building digital split EPs.
We talked about his recent game releases and what it means to make small, strange games.

But isn't capitalism = free market? 😭
After being introduced to the concept of game poems, I've been neck deep in this small, niche space. I've recently had a conversation with Brendan Allen, writer and game developer, discussing his work and how constrained engines can bring out creativity.

I've recently concluded my research placement at @uni-graz.at, as part of my PhD at @tudublin.bsky.social! 🇮🇪🇦🇹
I was hosted by @manuelninaus.bsky.social at the Digital Psychology Lab, which focuses on developing digital learning technologies, including video games, as well as evaluating them.
Me and Maíra Amaral recently presented the 'Living Beeings: Pollination Adventure' game again, at the 2nd Geogames Symposium, hosted at the @molimuseum.bsky.social! 🐝🌸♟️
It was really enriching to show and talk about our game with fellow educators, researchers and game designers!
Eu faria isso se tivesse um emprego permanente...
Was a pleasure to be interviewed! Thank you for the opportunity!
mobOS isn’t just a game — it’s a full-blown operating system that brings that early 2000s internet back: desktop pets, dodgy downloads, and a programming language you can use to build games inside the game.
