It's always bitter sweet to say Goodbye to the Neo-Twiny Jam. Because it's such a fun event, and so many people showcase how creative they are with so few words! So let's end it on a good note: raising a record-breaking $820 for LGBTQ+ orgs! THANK YOU!!! tinyurl.com/ntj2025

Thank You!

Sadly, it's that time of year, where we need to say goodbye to another edition of the Neo-Twiny Jam. But not before one last wrap up! While we mark the official end of the third edition of the jam...

typography tips with tabitha! image 1: this is Cinzel, a very popular font for book cover titles. it comes in two versions: Regular & Decorative. image 2: this is Cinzel Decorative. it is not meant to be used like this! the swooshy versions of the letters should be used sparingly, as accents. 1/5

the text "Rat Ransom" is a bold, serif, all-caps font

the text "Rat Ransom" in a bold, serif, all-caps font with decorative swooshes on each letter

tips to read articles behind pay/sign-in walls: 1. refresh the page, then quickly hit the "stop loading" X. 2. throw the link in archive.org 's wayback machine. 3. click "print"; if the full article displays in the preview, save it as a pdf. none work everywhere, but i've had all work somewhere!

to me, “you should create for yourself” and “you deserve to be acknowledged for what you make” are two statements that should coexist. chasing engagement will rot your soul, while being neglected will see your passion wither. loving what you make is a failsafe for when the engagement never comes.

If you liked a thing, leave a positive review if the platform offers the choice. These days there are so many people who thrive on leaving negative comments it helps if the rest of us really boost the things we loved. I'm going to make this the year I make other game Devs feel good about their work!

They always meant to leave you in the dust, you are now certain. To push you away, afraid you’d cast a shameful shadow on their success. You were never meant to catch up and have a good time. #30days30lines (written yesterday - forgot to post)

But you are not alone in this disappointment, as your friends’ faces too bear the mark, with Camille going as far as pouting in rejection. Yet, you restrain your eyes, dreading the ire of Renaud, and bite your tongue instead, afraid bitter words would sour the already tart moment. #30days30lines

It is that time of year again, where we need to end this very fun event, and wrap-up the last little threads into a neat gratifying bow. With this post, we mark the official end of this second...
