Time to make my #GameDev intro!
Hi, I'm Vera Burd and I'm currently looking for games work while I work part time at Petco! In my spare time, I'm a narrative designer/writer at Cork In The Sea, a small group of people making games and doing what we love. My favorite franchise is Dishonored!

hello. in case you're still on the fence - this is actual fascism.
it's not an indicator that the government is turning toward or at risk of fascism. it's actual fascism, right now, today, being enacted. this is an active coup.
i suggest joining protests *today* as a show of force & resistance

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This game can use your support, if you're a publisher, too! I get that this game might be too risky a subject to publish, but I believe many of you do understand & appreciate the value of a Palestinian-made game. There's an anonymous donation option, if needed for your job.

This is ultimately it tho. If you’re trans, there’s no comfortable, safe, happy cis life for you.
You must transition inevitably, or die having lived a strangers life, at others’ behests, never knowing yourself or what true happiness looks like for you.

"it's not worth risking your life to transition" it wouldn't be worth living at all if i didn't transition. shut. the fuck. up. stop scaring the eggs. stop wasting everyone's time

So, bad news. The studio I just joined, Thought Pennies, has run into some major trouble and laid off most of the staff. That includes me! I am laid off again! Truly, very bad luck. I was only there two weeks before stuff went down.

the game has acquired 30 positive reviews. if it hits 50 it becomes "very positive". is this an arbitrary threshold or something that will prompt steam to direct more people to the game? let us find out together
gang you made the influx redux steam page say "positive" instead of "not enough reviews to say either way". that's the direction i hoped it would go. please keep doing that <3 store.steampowered.com/app/867150/I...

In response to yet another major, previously beloved writer going full transphobe, please consider buying some books from trans authors, won't you?
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
