Yesterday was the one year anniversary of Hazel entering our lives 🥳🥹 I always wanted a dog growing up and she is such a dream come true in every way! (Even my mum who hates dogs says she's a very good girl 🙂‍↕️)

I had full intentions to do little bluesky summaries of all the #GDC2026 talks/panels/roundtables I went to but then things got busy and social and I lost track of my thoughts 🫣 anyway I was at the GDC Awards tonight and had my first ever Chipotle burrito so guess which was the highlight of my day

The Digital Red Pen: From Draft to Edit to Triage #GDC2025 Couldn't agree more with Diandra Anne Lasrado: Since AI can't be trained on emotional context, it's only a tool to bolster productivity rather than replace. Creativity is unique to humans. We have intention and our mistakes are beautiful. 💗

Publishing Realities: Funding, Discoverability, and What Success Really Looks Like (Presented by Community Clubhouse) #GDC2026 Fascinating to hear how the tables are turning on wishlists being a success/community indicator in funding conversations in favour of having an active Discord or socials.

Turning a "Dead" Genre into a Breakout Hit: The Story Behind 'Dispatch' #GDC2026 My first talk of day 2 was so fun! It's nice to hear about how a determined and creative talented team found success by staying focused on accessible storytelling with interactive dialogue options, mini games and QTEs.

Weaponized Play: How Extremist Networks are Targeting Children in Online Games #GDC2026 This was a difficult talk to sit in yesterday but so important to know how individuals are weaponising social features in games to groom, manipulate and recruit minors.

From Independence to Intervention: What Players Really Want from Community Safety #GDC2026 Very interesting to hear how teams are aiming to build safe (and fun) spaces by design rather than by trial & error - audiences will always value purposeful, considerate and transparent moderation tactics.

Does it Make You Feel Like a Wandering Ronin? Creative Direction for 'Ghost of Yōtei' #GDC2026 Listening to Nate & Jason was such a delight, but the biggest insight was how Sucker Punch embraces making and sharing video trailers for team alignment and creative validation, not just marketing hype 👏

Last night I won my first ever pub quiz!! The stars aligned with my team's niche knowledge of horror movies, sci-fi series, obscure science facts, and 80s-90s rock with supernatural references 🧠✨ Photo of Hazel tuckered out after carrying the team morale 💗
