Hi bsky #gamedev!

I'm a freelance community manager with a focus on safeguarding and futureproofing.

What do I mean by this?

As everyone becomes more tech-savvy over time, we must stay on top of safety measures to protect the younger generations in our communities. It's our obligation to do so!

There are nearly 3,000 demos in the Steam Next Fest, and with so many new games coming out getting lost in the flood is a real problem, especially for indie games

So here's your reminder, that if you play something cool, speak up and share it! Word of mouth is so damn important! 🥰

Screen-reader accessibility question:

How does it read Discord?

Do emoji's in channel and categories cause issues?

I'll be at the Nordic Game Awards alongside @highnorthstudios.bsky.social for Skald.
Talking of which, Skald is nominated for Best Game and Best Debut, which is exciting!

If anyone wants to meet up or have a chat on the Thursday to talk about Community, or just a general catch up. Let me know!

Its been a hectic couple of weeks, which meant I didn't get around to announcing that I'm a mentor for @limitbreak.co.uk this year for Community Management. I tend to try to stay in the shadows with my work, but I want to help support and develop the future, so here I am, doing that!

Hm. I ended up having to force the round to end because it never ended.

I think its a pretty decent highscore for Nubby's Number Factory.

It's my birthday today, and what I want more than anything is 14 reviews for Vampire Therapist. 🙏 Our BAFTA-nominated game is super close to overwhelmingly positive, and it would make my day to hit that milestone! 🤠

Hi all, I'm on the hunt for a video editor!

Ideally someone who's skilled at taking VODs and editing down short scenes from it. Roleplay editing experience is a plus but not essential.

Let me know any recommendations #streaming #twitch

You know. i dont spend much time on my own social media accounts anymore, simply because of my own mental health, and fear of burnout... but I will come on to yell, ITS MY BIRTHDAY! 32 years of causing mayhem and shenanigans, lets gooo!

Working self-employed is not easy, especially in community.

I'll share one stat that I'll share from my own is the following:

On average, I worked 9.6 hours every day in January, with little to no breaks.

This includes work for all my clients as well as my admin work.

Eep.

It's been years since I've wrote an article, but my client, Lickd, asked me to write a little marketing something, so I did.

Music is an incredibly powerful tool that can and should be used within Youtube, whether its content creation or in trailers.

Give it a read:

I'm so happy to see @littlebatgames.bsky.social's Vampire Therapist get a Bafta Nomination. It's so deserved! Even with my short time working on the game, i know the amount of care that went into the game from Cyrus was monumental. He deserves it.
