Gave a talk earlier this week to a college game development program! I'm a weirdo who enjoys public speaking, so if you have a program that needs speakers on production, publishing, product management, or the games industry in general, hmu ✨

Clock Out at 2 is a psychological horror VN. You are an employee at a mega corporation. Lately, you’ve been seeing creatures and having déjà vu. Is it just the stress getting to you, or something more insidious ? #PitchYaGame Get Out x Severance x Black Mirror Wishlist on Steam: s.team/a/3235690

Playing @iridiumstudios.bsky.social new game People of Note today. The writing is full of bangers. I'm in love with this game already!
But remember, like, one-way para social relationships are fundamentally incapable of fulfilling the basic human desire for intimate and creative connection, y'know?

Screenshot of Clock Out at 2 featured in the Game Devs of Color Expo newsletter. Text body reads: Last fall, DaPurpleSharpie sat down with Mac Kendama, CEO of Borderless Studios, to discuss their visual novel game. Clock Out at 2 is a narrative-driven 2D roguelite game that explores workplace trauma, resilience, and identity through the eyes of Celia, an Afro-Latina woman navigating corporate life. Struggling against toxic office culture, microaggressions, and unseen pressures - can you Clock Out at 2?
