kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 10/10/2026i think it's kinda crazy that Sony being first and honest by saying "yeah you don't own your games" and people instantly hating them is why PR in the industry is so mysterious and addresses nothing people ask. then again, reasonable consumers don't know that they don't own their games so 010 1

kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 22/09/2026the hiring world is. just. so. weird. so many things can go wrong - other candidates are stronger, requirements change, headcount requirements change... hiring is one of those things where, even if you do everything right, are still subject to chance, because there'd still be quality candidates 020 2

Reposted by kiara!! 🍰GameBrief @gamebrief.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Games with no tutorials and no handholding are only praised by people who had the time to sit with them for 5 hours. That's not a universal design virtue, that's a privilege statement. 382 8

kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 13/09/2026gotta be the worst album possibly of this year cuz wdym he released CRACKER thinking it was a banger 111 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/2026all in all, i love the journey i took to get where i am today. the improvement was exponential and i can't wait to release Poly Beats this year, and Project B in 2028. see you there. <3 001 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/2026i built procedural generation from scratch (including perlin noise made from scratch) with HLSL, alongside NPC pathfinding done from scratch too. it was weird not having AI-assistance in a project for once - and that caused it to take 6 months. nevertheless, i was proud of what i was capable of. 110 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/2026this game was one i took to extreme heights because i was forced to - i was given the ultimatum to either work inside Python, or inside C# - my teacher said i can only use C# if i make something legitimately interesting, as the engine already does a shit ton for me. good point. therefore - 110 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/20262024 (age 16) > github.com/kiaratheeana... this one was made for Finals - A-Level CS, and i'm genuinely proud of what this was. yes, i may have gotten a C grade since my documentation sucked, but that was mainly because i focused on making an actually good project first, and writeups later.github.comGitHub - kiaratheeanalyst/Mopedule-IContribute to kiaratheeanalyst/Mopedule-I development by creating an account on GitHub. 100 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/20262022 (age 14) > github.com/kiaratheeana... this was a year i released and announced a ton of projects - it's kinda funny that out of three projects (Boxfight, Tracks, and Poly Beats), only one survived to see 2026. this game was made by me and two other people, though i forget names. 100 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/2026little did i know, this *little* third and first person shooter had 40 reviews on Newgrounds, and over 1.5k plays on itch.io. think most of them were bot plays. but i loved this game. even if it was sloppily created by a kid who barely knew how to make decent code. 100 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/20262021 (age 13) > github.com/kiaratheeana... HOLY HELL. my favorite game ever, when i didn't care about good design, good code, or even security. i was old enough to become a YouTuber - so i decided to try my luck. 100 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/2026i used to keep scripts short, and didn't really think about game ideas much. to everyone, this game was boring, but to me, i felt fondly for this game, even if attempts to release it were sloppy and to an audience of six people. next up! 100 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/20262020 (age 12) > github.com/kiaratheeana... my first game ever. lockdown just hit, and i finished the Brackey's "How To Make A Game" Tutorial Course inside Unity, networking with tons of people who made games over Discord when i was technically not allowed to have it yet. 100 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 07/09/2026looked through my GitHub. 750 contributions a year from 2020, and nothing to show for it? today I publicly listed a couple repos of old games i made (but kept my best works private!) have a look, i'll talk you through them, because i feel like for a few people, i owe it to them. 100 1

kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 20/08/2026i want to believe they meant doom 1996 which was my initial assumption, but you're right 021 2
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 20/08/2026is it really regardless of the outcome of the project? or is it just that most industry games nowadays flop harder than they expect? 120 2
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 18/08/2026i hate that i took this so seriously i'm backspacing my entire reply 120 2
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 16/08/2026that's not really what i'm saying though. quite literally just said this because this is how misinformation starts spreading. 110 1
kiara!! 🍰 @kiarafr.bsky.social · 15/08/2026this needs nuance come on Square Enix has said they will use Generative AI for QA and Debugging as for the Azure stuff, it is to make their engine smoother, and to assist non-programmer staff in using it what i do hate is the r&d side of it 230 3
