Here at #gamescom I see so many countries supporting their game developers with amazing booths, financial support, and visibility. It’s so sad that we don’t have a US organization who is supporting smaller developers with the logistics, promotion, and funding we need to succeed.

On my run this AM, 3/4 of the way in, I tripped, did my best flying squirrel, and landed on a bunch of gravel, giving myself some nasty cuts. Hello, 5 stitches, tetanus shot and antibiotics. But mostly I’m just salty that my W7D2 C25K run was interrupted before I could complete it and log my time.

I started Couch to 5 K again (I’ve done it many times, most recently in 2023). Today was week 5, day 3. IYKYK. Friends, I ran the whole damn 20 minutes without stopping at an 12:30 pace. This from the girl who couldn’t run a mile in under 12 minutes growing up.

You step into the forest. The air hums with magic. Despite the warm sun, a mantle of mist prevents you from seeing too far ahead. What would you expect — or hope — to find beyond the twisted tree? 🍃 Early concept art from our team! #DragonSnacksGames #IndieGameDev #FantasyForest #IndieGames

#GDC 2025 is in the books! 37 pitches/meetings/speaking engagements over the course of 5 days, with some very exciting follow ups. So many friends, old and new. A hands-on playable prototype that met with great acclaim. And the chance to share what we’re building with an incredible group of people.

The flight from SEA to SFO today feels like a wonderful industry reunion. Especially great to see my Xbox and AWS friends! Time for GDC!

I was at a dinner for Seattle games industry founders last night, and I had the chance to meet two of the founders of @candlelightgames.bsky.social These wonderful people didn’t know it, but they were about to get fangirled in the best way.
