Feeling incredibly fortunate after an amazing GDC. We were absolutely floored by the response to Hauntii—it was such a joy and honor to talk to everyone who came by our booth, and meet so many wonderful people. Coming away with an IGF and a GANG award was beyond my wildest dreams. I'm so grateful 💚

One of my favorite pieces on this whole soundtrack by @michaelkirbyward.bsky.social is this gorgeous track at the end of Eternia. It's easy to miss in-game because it only plays in this room *after* you've done what you need to do here, but what a treat if you stay a while

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment?

If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com.

Please spread the word
