yet another really, really good article out of GameDeveloper today i didn't realise how much so many people in this industry were being actively stifled in their personal projects and career opportunities like conference speaking thank you @kerrblimey.bsky.social for giving air to this 🙏

I love Galley House. A decade ago, I would have preferred Type Help. As @lesbiankakyoin.bsky.social gets at, it’s nice that both exist for different audiences. I hope we see more examples of this. Seem like a net good for studio collabs, where one might specialize in design and another in polish

The Incident at Galley House upholds the strengths of Type Help, but falters with its new material. @lesbiankakyoin.bsky.social reviews.

Creature Comforts by @romanhyacinths.bsky.social is adorable, well-structured, and a perfect example of taking a weird little idea and making it playable. If you want some inspiration for the One-Page RPG Jam, check this submission: roman-hyacinths.itch.io/creature-com... #ttrpg #onepagerpg #rpg
