Perpetually stressed but never posting game dev, she/her

I think I should make a regular, monthly call to action for indie developers to reply with their games, leave a description, and relevant links, instead of just doing it infrequently whenever I like. So why not a September #ShowCasey?

INDIE DEVS, I WANT YOUR GAMES ON MY DESK BY TOMORROW!

Oh look the thing everyone said would happen happened
“She was not the only developer who reported the company singling out yuri content.”

Games journalists really dropped the ball on itchio targeting yuri content, both SFW and NSFW

The censorship of Toxic Yuri Game Jam hasn’t gotten any coverage from the games press

just for once I’d like to post when there isn’t massive industry fuckery going on but basically I’m waiting to see how many people I know at Microsoft are out of work tomorrow and how big Phil Spencer’s golden parachute will be for causing it.

I wrote 100+ articles for AG between 2004 and 2022. My experience there got my foot in the door at Telltale, which shaped my entire career. Lately I'd been using the forums A LOT for research for a book I'm writing -- an enormous amount of history wiped out. I'm sad about this for so many reasons. 😔

This is so disgusting. AdventureGamers used to be my go-to site even before I wrote dozens of reviews and articles for them. Now they're just a slop website of garbage. Check out Adventure Game Hotspot for real news and reviews.

This is insane. Also hi, it's me again, I only post bad stuff or "HEY A GAME I MADE CAME OUT"

Today it's bad stuff.

I can't emphasize how important it is to support this project. After releasing Liyla and the Shadows of war, I have high hopes for this project. We need diverse more voices in our industry, and this is a topic that needs to be covered.
After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.

Folks, *please* take this chance to materially support Palestinian work + voices + dreams. Dreams on a Pillow could not be more necessary. I'm so moved by Rasheed's creativity, perseverance, ingenuity. This industry and this world don't deserve him, but I'm so grateful that he's here with us 💪🍉

As an Arab game developer, it's super hard for me to EVER see games made by people like me from my region.

This is a game that tells our stories, it is a game that MUST exist, sharing the experience of Palestinians through the medium we all love. Please consider donating and sharing widely!

The story about the key brought tears to my eyes.
first guest is @ramiismail.com, who explained why games mess up arabic and how that's both a result of and catalyst for anti-arab sentiment. we also discussed dreams on a pillow, a palestinian project he's producing on that has an “in case of our creative director getting massacred” contingency plan

If you watched PMG's video on Palestine last year, you'll know about @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social and his story.

He's a Palestinian game dev, living in the West Bank, and experiencing the horror of a genocide many of us can only witness through a screen halfway around the world.

I wish I could do so much more. Make it all go away. This is so small, but every story about what was lost must be preserved so what once was can never be extinguished.

The thing about studios is, they're never the same without their people they call the "talent"

Otherwise it's all just marketing and years of "remember when we did this" with almost none of the people who were there anymore

And I feel this keenly every year I survive working in this industry.
