If you're working on a thinky puzzle game, you should definitely apply! I was one of the recipients last year and I can't stress enough how impactful it was for me. The incredible community support and @mairispaceship.com's mentorship really helped bring out the best in my game!

Publishers, writers, reviewers, bilbiophiles: PLEASE mention the *illustrator/cover designers* in your posts promoting books. By properly crediting human talent, you are supporting the industry. Everyone wins! #PicturesMeanBusiness graphic by @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social #KidLit #BookSky #BookPromo

I, like lots of artists, struggle with this. But, when I’ve struggled the most, it’s been so helpful to just look back on older work and realize how far I’ve come. Day by day, it can feel like nothing is changing, and it becomes so much clearer when looking back.

The best leaders in this industry aren’t those who have a hyper-detailed, one-man-show vision of their project. They don’t minimise or claim the work that their teammates do. They are the ones who are excited about what others can bring to the dynamic. Who hold the vision, rather than own it.

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
