Very honored to have the opening letter from Dungeon Bodega Sim be included in the trailer for this awesome bundle supporting industry folks Going from being laid off myself to creating a game about that experience to using that game to help support other folks who got laid off is so cool <3

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Extremely proud to be featured on this list, thank you Aftermath and Nathan! I believe GenAI steals so much joy out of the process of creating art, a process I find deeply sacred. Not to mention the fact its trained on stolen data and has negatively impacted communities and my peers.

NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?

🏳️‍🌈June Update is out!🐈 For this first monthly update for Dungeon Bodega Simulator, we're celebrating pride with four new pride banners featuring art from @thingsbydiana.bsky.social! I also was able to add cat customization with this update, adding hats and color swaps :)

So for this Juneteenth, I went back and updated my feature on the need to incorporate more Blackness into your gaming perspective, more relevant now than when I wrote it years ago. Check it out on @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/opinions/cel...

Celebrate Juneteenth by Supporting These Brilliant Black Game Developers

From developers to esports stars to visionaries, Black excellence exists at every gaming level, so you have no excuse not to show support.
