Did you know? APWOT originally started as a student zine all the way back in 2014! 👀 The original self made publication used a limited colour palette, came in two sizes, was about 20 pages and was made in just under 2 weeks. We've come a long way to having Astro Bot and Playstation on the cover! 🤖

Top tip for cat parents: set up a pile of sewing tissue paper. Peli has been going wild for the crinkle.

Caspian Whistler@cazwis.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Been going through it recently, but every time I look over at my cat he’s doing something like this so I honestly can’t complain, my life is perfect.

So happy to have been a part of Polaris! 💖 Go give these lovely and ridiculously smart game devs a follow.

'Interact as a colleague not as a fan' was salient advice I received very early on in my career.

Bertine van Hövell 🛝 Gamescom@baroness.bsky.social · last yr.

My beloved juniors, please take this advice to heart If you're invited along with industry professionals you admire, you don't need to put any effort into impressing them. You're doing just fine the way you are, everyone just wants to vibe. Partake in conversations just like you'd normally do.
