Looking for an eBook version of Gaytheist, my graphic novel about growing up gay and Orthodox Jewish? It's popping up all over the place!
It's probably cheaper, plus you can get it even if you're not in the US - so consider checking it out 😊

After a lot of time spent this weekend, the system is almost completely functional.
It calcs cap chance (based on LV, HP, Dist, Aware) & has a fail state.
In the future, needs more camera angles and animations. Also missing the part where you compare stats afterward.

I love gamesdev being less male dominated these days.
I finished a meeting and got a DM from the other woman in the meeting checking I was ok with her stepping in to defend me from a pushy producer. I thanked her, and then she complimented me for telling him flatly "no" to a feature request. ❤️

Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased.
Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.
