I have to name my game and I can't believe how many hours, days, weeks have passed and I still can't figure it out.

This is just the result of last weekend's exploration.

Any advice, tool, resource that could help me? Or... am I just overthinking this?

Arc Raiders emergent narratives are crazy.

Also surprised with the amount of players willing to be friendly and not trying to grief constantly

Came to UK for business but seized the opportunity to meet with old friends.

London is ok. I just don’t like big cities anymore.

A weekend of Boardgames (both playing and designing them), football and reading.

I might have something to do with this 👀
Digital Tinkerers is a new Vancouver, Canada based independent game studio where hands on curiosity-driven experimentation is the method to craft new experiences for players.

Stay tuned for more!

Vancouver: I still can’t understand how this is literally beside my house in the middle of the city.

Pinterest used to be such a refreshing way to come up with ideas and inspiration, and now... it is just filled with AI shit...

There is a HUGE convention center a few meters from here… GDC should be held in Vancouver 🥹😌

I like SF but I love Vancouver. Good to be back home 🇨🇦

My first GDC was 10 years ago.
The last one (for now) was a couple days ago.

I still don’t fully understand how it works or if it is worth it, but it’s always a good time.
Good to keep learning, see old friends and make new ones.

Also… what is the deal with these self driving cars?

She is my inspiration. She recently joined the game development industry and is already killing it.

If you see her at this GDC please welcome her to this absolutely crazy but wonderful world
