Today isn't just about celebrating video games. It's about celebrating the people who make them possible. To everyone who has poured their creativity, time, blood, sweat and tears into making a game, a massive thank you for making us know what “fun” is. #NationalVideoGamesDay
Futuristic digital cityscape with neon blue and pink lights, large text reads “National Video Games Day.” Below, smaller text says, “Celebrate the creators for their creation!”.

The @igda.org is using their referral fee to buy more courses for those members who cannot afford them - so if you're looking to buy a Levelling The Playing Field course, consider using their link for a nice discount and to help devs in need to get free courses!

A short conclusion while at Taipei, super rough period but nonetheless, enjoyed catching up with the folks, the indie area made me cry. Some devs were so lovely that they sent their regards to our impacted comrades 😭 Should look for a day where we are not that busy for just sipping tea some day.

🧵Many thought it may be right to start with hands, gestures, locomotion, or environment. But the very first “input device” in XR is actually the head, as it determines orientation, position, comfort, and how players understand the "origin". #gaming #VR #gamedev

For every layoffs in the gaming industry remember: Behind every number is a person who once helped build the worlds others escape into and now struggles to stay in their own. People who poured nights, weekends, and years of creativity into launches that defined this industry.

🧵Previously I’ve shared some thoughts on design decisions on making XR games but there are more! Adding a few more to the list and hope it may provide more ideas on the considerations and perhaps have it as a sticky note while going through production. #gaming #VR #gamedev

If IGN has layoffs, nobody in games press is safe. If Microsoft has layoffs, nobody in platforms is safe. If Ubisoft and Bungie and NetEase have layoffs, nobody in game development is safe. If the Romeros get their funding pulled, no studio is safe. It's rough out there, right now.

I've looked at a lot of resumes for aspiring translators and everytime I notice they have the relevant experience but they don't make it clear, meaning vendors are more likely to overlook them as potential freelancers. Here's some resume advice if you're looking for freelance translation work.
