Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.
You could link to my review if you need more proof. It was published on release, showing clearly that Ouros predates ZZZ’s copy. youtu.be/6nhDEieHx4U?...

I'm #hiring engineers @medaltv.bsky.social ! Work at the intersection of games x AI research. $150-$275k - highly eng-driven (helmed by a CEO / CTO) - super nice smart humans who like to play and talk about games - robots in the office - everyone cares a lot about game dev / local communities
Soooooo happy that our inaugural community session at @officialgdc.bsky.social was a success (and tbh relieved to be done planning for a bit) !!!
Women in Games NYC@womeningamesnyc.bsky.social · 5mo agoThat's a wrap on our WIGNYC @officialgdc.bsky.social community session!! Had a blast with everyone who came through, did the activities, and aggressively avoided networking. #wignyc #womeningames #GDCScholarImpact #GDC2026 #GDCScholar

The Beauty is an absolute boner of a show. It's not good. But I'm obsessed.
I was informed that because I'm not white I can never achieve a manic pixie dream girl aesthetic - is true? Are there Asian mbdgs??
So inspired!!! By Bre + Danni talking about building inclusive communities like @gamedevperkup.bsky.social + @gdocexpo.com ✨✨✨
Our community's been inundated with this particular scam for a few weeks now. DON'T GET GOT! SPREAD THE WORD. #scam #scamalert
My MAGfest group plans have fallen through so I'm now going to be a lone sad orphan. Anyone have a group I can join? I already have a Gaylord room and transport. Just need friends 😭 and safety through community.
Started a new gig with @outpost004.bsky.social ! I'd met their co-founder Kyle through @gumbonyc.bsky.social years ago and I wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity without that community. Being part of a 3,000+ creative network makes us all better at what we do. ❤️ #newgig #community
Last night's panel event New York Hall of Science @nysci.bsky.social was a blast!! It's always gratifying to chat with students about careers in game dev / interactive media.
Looking forward to this tonight! Gonna talk about @womeningamesnyc.bsky.social + @gumbonyc.bsky.social at @nysci.bsky.social
asking "how goes the job search?" is the professional equivalent of that busybody aunt at Thanksgiving going "so...no boyfriend yet?"
