people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

i've been thinking a lot about the job market, even outside of games, a large number of my friendships are looking for other opportunities. oftentimes, they only have a bachelor's degree. i also have a bachelor's, and an unfinished masters--only two roles have come out of traditional applications.

I'll be speaking at this year's @gdocexpo.com Thursday @ 1:15! Developers find themselves competing with thousands of peers for the same grants, publishing and funding opportunities. I'll be sharing some insights with Jesenia on how we were able to leverage state/local resources this year.

bored at penndot waiting for my state ID, so I thought I'd do an #AMA I've written for +7 years in games, from solo projects to a AAA franchise and started my narrative consultancy amidst the ✨horrors✨ won't break NDA, other than that, ask away!

✨pretty chic to launch a TRAILER✨ i'm so happy to announce i was able to work with the wonderful team at deviant games on this trailer. it's the most fun I've had in a playtesting session, definitely check it out and share to support another #indiedev studio! so thankful for this team, always 💗

Of all the Emmas that could be a narrator, Emma D'Arcy would be my top choice NGL

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
