One of the highlights of my GDC was actually finding out that the game development club I co-founded at Pratt when I was 17 is not only still running but flourishing under new student leadership! 🥹 It seriously makes me tear up!

Daddy issues the game but the good kind. Very excited for this game.
I am OVER THE MOON that @mackeza.bsky.social wrote about Bundle of Joy for @theguardian.com. I love how she identifies so clearly what I'm trying to capture and share.

What an incredible way to start the week!
This rather heartfelt Wario Ware-style game about the early days of parenthood made me oddly nostalgic, particularly the game where you're struggling to get a pair of miniature socks onto a pair of tiny wriggling feet www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j...
