The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) is the largest non-profit membership organization in the world serving all individuals who create games.

GDC's State of the Game Industry survey is open, and they need voices from across the entire ecosystem. The survey closes on THURSDAY this week, with the report dropping in November. All it takes is 15 minutes, and responses are anonymous. Fill it out today 👉 gdconf.typeform.com/SOTI26eoy

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. 🇧🇷🏆🏖️

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

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.

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 😄

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.
