Words cannot describe just how honoured and excited I am to be working with HouseMarque on their new game, Saros. It’s been an absolute highlight of my career getting to collaborate with this phenomenal studio, spending time in Finland, and bringing Arjun to life ❤️

Getting Started on Bluesky - Game Devs

I've been sending this same list of tips to dev friends for a few weeks now and since a lot of folks are joining today, figure I might as well make it into a proper post

Hope it helps! 🧵  #GameDev
