I’m in a caloric deficit right now and last night I realized I can eat 20 slices of bread and 20 pieces of cheese a day to stay within my limit AND hit my protein goals at the same time. No wonder medieval peasants could work the fields all day, they were just making gainz

Btw, when I talk about adding women to the conversation (or any underrepresented voices), it doesn’t mean I want to alienate the other half of our audience. It’s about optimizing strategies so we can serve a *larger* audience. I’d like to think this is a reminder and not a revelation 💖 #iwd2025

Good news! I’ll be back at Develop:Brighton this year to talk about the importance of *intention* in narrative ephemera! Excited to see everyone there!

A screenshot of a talk listed on the Develop:Brighton website. Title reads “Cut an NPC and Your Whole World Bleeds: The Importance of the Ephemeral in Interactive Storytelling.” Beneath it, it shows that the talk will be from Amy-Leigh Shaw of Sweet Baby Inc

I'm so grateful for feedback on Toward Dawn - as primarily a controller user, I missed some hits with K&M, but now WASD will work in menus and I'm also improving some mouse responsiveness (especially on the Ability Tree UI). Also more input icons, where appropriate. 🐺💕✨ #gamedev | #indiedev | #rpg

My dirty gamer confession is (if Mike never came in and made my loadouts for me) I would use the same loadout I made at the very start of playing a CoD and never change it or switch it up for the entirety of my gameplay career of that game
