Finished Boss Fight Books Shovel Knight! 📖 Really great insight on their creative process and collaboration as a team.

But this page hit pretty hard on how close they were money wise and wondered if there was an alternative. Eg funding, grant or even an advance

@patrober.bsky.social I've fixed the location options so that it only returns results that have the location names in them :)

If you do a hard refresh of the page, you should get the latest version

You know if it's the right version if it puts the locations first in the Google Search box

Looking for a games job?👾🔍

Many game companies host their job openings directly on platforms like Workday and Greenhouse

I made a tool to search for jobs on these platforms with Google X-ray and shows roles posted directly from the companies themselves!
