Just started judging the #js13kgames competition entries! Gave feedback on my first five games. The highlight for me today was @KilledByAPixel's amazingly polished 🌈Arcobaleno - LEARN ITALIAN which uses only emojis and voice! so good. only 13kb. play.js13kgames.com/arcobaleno-l...

gosh I used to post a gamedev work in progress screenshots on social media nearly every single day, like some sort of show-n-tell, and now I never do. I still make games every day!!! but no longer need a pat on the back to stay motivated. Likes and shares and rando feedback feels unimportant now

Game Producer folks! One of our amazing @takethis.org Accelerate fellows has created a Mental Health Toolkit as their capstone project and would love your feedback! natasha-arthur.github.io/knownissues/ Please share with folks you think would be interested! Reskeets much appreciated!

A screenshot from the Known Issues toolkit website. To the left is text:

"The mental health toolkit for game producers.

Known Issues. (large font, title of page)

Game production is a job that asks a lot of you. Not just your time and skills, but your capacity to hold other people's stress while quietly managing your own. Producers sit at the intersection of creative ambition, business pressure and human beings, all of which bring their own complexity. This toolkit attempts to declutter that intersection. It won't make you a mental health expert, but it will give you practical ways to bring more sustainable, human-centered habits into the work you're already doing."

To the right is an abstract image in green. A round ball-type mass sits above a more abstract splatter, also in green.

every day, even during rough times, I see my dreams coming true. many things I used to daydream about doing/achieving/creating, I got to do. So many bucketlist items checked off - all but the most unrealistic have been fulfilled. don't know why but today I feel grateful for the life I've had so far

🏎 sculpted a car in blender today while hanging out on a discord "co-working" video channel at devpods. co-working (parallel working) is kind of nice. keeps you focused, just having other humans around who are also working so you're not the center of attention

made this level today for a hand-painted godot project I'm working on that's one of those "rage games" inspired by sisyphus, with physics jank and long hills where can lose it all and watch the orb roll all the way back down... because people love to suffer agonizing defeat but eventually prevail
