Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

I'm deeply grateful for attending Gamescom 2025. Albeit I am left with nostalgia from this trip, this opportunity has been enriching. Glad to connect with my colleagues from Spain and play amazing indie games 🎮 in development. Looking forward for the next year.

Off to #Gamescom2025 armed with:
- an epic shirt
- manifestos for the games industry
- an unhealthy pitch deck
- a caffeinated body ☕

We're building something ambitious, strange and values-driven.

If positive social impact speaks to you, DM me for a meeting slot. 🎮

LinkedIn: the land of AI slop.

LinkedIn doesn't stop putting me off by the amount of AI art and bros preaching AI as if it was a silver bullet solution to every problem in modern businesses.

I'm tired. From the lack of respect to human integrity, to the dishonesty.

Deutsche Bahn is doing trackwork during the week of Gamescom.

Now that's German efficiency. I hope everyone's looking forward to being even more sardined in the remaining trains.

So please watch out, and make sure you know your route!
If you're going to #Devcom or #Gamescom '25, there's train construction work that could affect you.

If you're staying in Düsseldorf, the S6 would've been one of the trains you'd take straight to the conference. Now, it's endstation is Köln Mülheim and you'll need to get an additional tram.

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

It's apt that corporations/governments divided the internet into SFW and NSFW & are now making it all Safe For Work, because that is the defining frame they want to place on the world--everywhere you go is for Work, not pleasure or art or love or culture. You must always Work for Them, or die.

Did you know that unionizing the games industry could standardize game crediting? If you worked on a game, you deserve to be properly credited.
I've been negotiating credit inclusion in my contracts, but only this week did someone link me the IGDA Game Crediting Guidelines!

This is a GREAT reference for guidance and negotiation. Sharing it along for anyone else who didn't know this existed!

Hoy sale "Luto" y yo me muero de la ilusión...

Llevo años siguiendo este juego y me flipa el display de talento Canario que está metido aquí. Tanto en el propio juego, directamente, como en el equipo.

Me siento super feliz y orgullosa de Broken Bird Games.

Luto is just around the corner!

While we've got some surprises coming this month, it's also time to say goodbye to Luto Demo: The Choice on July 15th.

This demo has meant a lot to us, but now it's time for the next chapter. Make sure to try it before it's gone!

For those not in the loop, Luto is one of the most anticipated games built in the heath of the Canary Islands/Spain.

It's coming out soon and if you're a fan of horror games, I would highly recommend you to support them with a wishlist on steam. 🎮
