EPISODE 46 IS LIVE @ryakomusic.bsky.social joins @marinahascoffee.bsky.social to talk about her sources of inspiration, how her experience as a music producer helps her with sound design, and what it’s like working on your first video game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MYS...

Wow, so toxic accounts in the Love and Deepspace situation are using the recycle icon ♻️ to make fun of the character Valko being made of reused parts? #bringbackvalko because he is perfect, but also please gamers, allow #gamedev to reuse assets. It takes so long to make games for you.

so stoked to have hosted @ryakomusic.bsky.social on the show! my favourite bit is at the end where she talks about forging your own path and listening to your inner voice as an artist <3

oh boy I found 18 pages of notes for my first game design doc: a DATING SIM FOR GIRLS. Which at the time was original, I had never seen one before. Also I was writing it for my TI-89 CALCULATOR. If I can stop cringing long enough I might make a short vid... #gamedev #otome

the only way to become a good artist is by first being a bad one. we're discouraged as adults to pick up something new, to be a beginner again, to be bad at something again. but art, like anything else, is a skill. the path to mastery? putting in focused, consistent effort over time

For her birthday, my mom asked for 7th Guest! I bought her the anniversary version and the remake! We used to play together as a family. An iconic puzzle game that's part of gaming history, and one that still inspires my #gamedev today. store.steampowered.com/app/4491360/...
