I created this ExcuseBot in #Twine

Easy and fun. Still need to develop it further.

#Introduction -

Hello! Here's my sales pitch -

Working on a #fediverse / #ActivityPub client #bepe and #python web #framework called #Jenkwerx (hopefully #FOSS by Summer 2024)

Goal is to incorporate AP into the game and #opensource #code as I refactor next year

Old time #BBS #SYSOP and #UseNet #nerd​

Moving my #coding talk here from my my other account

@multiverseofbadness

..I talk comics and BS over there

Hasbro's Women Innovator webinar was amazing! I'm so inspired & invigorated!

They're doing a design challenge. I'm going to enter Warm & Fuzzy Feelings, which focuses on positive player interactions.

Anyone else going to enter? If so, tell me about your design. Let's support each other!

KA wie viele #GameDevs ich in Deutschland hier erreichen kann (gerne Boosten), aber auch hinsichtlich der WSA Streiks:
PSA:

Wenn ihr "nicht nur gelegentlich" #Freelancer aus dem #Kunst Segment anstellt (ja #GameDesigner zählen dazu, ich damals als #TechnicalDesigner auch) MÜSST ihr von EUCH aus Künstlersozialabgabe in Höhe von ~5.2% des Vertragwertes an die #KünstlerSozialKasse abführen.

Egal ob diese in der #KSK sind oder nicht. Das gilt bis zu 5 Jahre rückwirkend!

Hear ye, hear ye, GameDev community -

Protospiel Michigan at Ann Arbor is this coming weekend for Playtesting board and card games. If you're going, what game designs are you bringing? I'm actually writing down my rules for my Hell's Kitchen game. Hit me up, and I'll play your game!

#Introduction -

Hello! I'm Mike and this is my sales pitch...

Love #comics / #comicbooks

Working on a #fediverse / #ActivityPub client and #python web #framework I call Jenkwerx (hopefully in beta by EOY)

Simulation #GameDesigner /#GameDev with a game online for over 25 years

Old time #BBS #SYSOP and #UseNet #nerd​

Everyday life is busy enough - I'm here solely to interact w/people in a friendly manner - if that's you I look forward to rapping w/ya!

Here's my #introduction post, a month and a half later, but sorry, I wasn't sure who I was back then.

I'm a #NonBinary middle-aged #GameDesigner who doesn't particularly belong anywhere. I'm living in #Japan since January 2023, having lived in Brazil, China, Germany, and Estonia.

I learned to code in order to prototype my game ideas, and somehow one thing led to another and I ended up with a decades-long #WebDev career. Still don't see myself as a ‘web guy’ (or gal) though. Game development tools are abysmally lagging behind in many ways, but still give me #Unreal over React or #Godot over Express any day.

Also long-time #Agile advocate, I'm an expired CSM (Certified ScrumMaster) and agile coach, former co-founder now disillusioned with the idea of startups as a whole.

Now I'm working on my own game, and paying the bills with #VR or web work.

I have a lot of opinions, many weird, and went through… stuff. If there's a 90% chance I'll offend and 10% chance I'll make lives better, I'll probably say it.

As a #gamedev, I'm curious: does where you currently live impact your chances of getting hired? Say I lived in Nevada: would I have less of a chance of getting hired to work in San Francisco or Los Angeles than someone who already lived there? #lookingforwork #gamedesigner

#Introduction -been here almost a month but needed a good #Mastodon #intro to pin so you'll know if I'm worth #following​

Love #comics / #mcu #dceu​
 
#GameDesigner / #GameDeveloper masquerading as a #DataEngineer solely to feed my family

Love using #math to develop #simulation #games​

Run an online #horseracing #game​

Co-host a #podcast about bad #comicbooks but won't wear you out with daily posts begging you to listen

Old time #BBS #SYSOP and #UseNet #nerd​

Look forward to rapping w/ya!

I think something I've been overlooking in #gamedev is to start small. It's so tempting to build something big, or at least something that doesn't look like a mess. Gotta remind myself that as a #GameDesigner, it's less important how something LOOKS than how it FUNCTIONS. #gamedesign

I've been feeling a lot of stress and pressure lately because it's looking more and more unlikely that I'll have a new job before 2023. I try to remind myself that the difference between December and January is largely in my head. As long as I keep applying, someone, somewhere is going to recognize the skills and experience I can bring to a role. #gamedev #gamedesigner #lookingforwork

Got some great news today!

My game For Her Lady's Hand (a Caltrop Core duet TTRPG inspired by bi badass Julie D'Aubigny) has been named to the Melbourne Queer Games Festival's Shortlist!

I’m thrilled to be included with so many truly fantastic queer games. Find the full selection of games on the shortlist here:

http://mqgf.com.au/2022/awards/

Award goodness continues on December 6. Who will win the MQGF’s Emerging Developer Award? We’ll find out in just a few days!

I am making our next game and documenting my progress. This is one of a few videos of the latest series where I am making an interior of a sailboat.

Let me know if you want me to post my previous videos, this can easily be accomplished.

We are going to have so much fun with this radio in our next game
Close up view=higher resolution. Cameras are going to be very different from KAPIA. Closer to a 2.5D than 3D

This is from gamedev.place. Is there a good mastodon server for #gamedesign (digital or analog)?

#introduction : Hello everyone else fleeing the bird! I’m a #writer and my debut #novel, THE TEN PERCENT THIEF, is out from Solaris in March 2023. If you’re in South Asia, you might know it already as Analog/ Virtual.
My #words are also in a bunch of anthologies + magazines. They’re mostly #sciencefiction and sometimes #fantasy.
I’m also a #gamedesigner and I’ve built everything from FarmVille and Mafia Wars to indie battle robots.
I live in India with my husband, two dogs, and a legion of cats.

Apparently self-promotion, or at least context, is expected here, so here is an update #introduction/bio:

#SfConventions organizer (bid chair, Spokane in 2015 Worldcon); media fan
#AuroraAward winning fan writer
#GameDesigner (Tredroy, #GURPS Cyberpunk)
Web developer, technical writer, network engineer, aspiring novelist
#American (#Democrat)-#Canadian (#Liberal) living in #Toronto.

Hi everyone, i'm Morgane Lainard, senior #GameDesigner at the indie French studio Ishtar Games.

Worked as GD for 11 years now. Spent most of my carrier working on serious games and contract games but last year I switched to making exclusively games for entertainment (so your average game).

I specialise in #UX and #Accessibility. It's kind of my crusade in the game industry. I'm also a proud member of le #lgbtq community.
I'm a bit shy when i don't know people so don't hesitate yo say hi. I answer to she/they pronouns.

Looks like people are doing #introductions so I ought to do an #introduction post too aye?

I'm Mike from #Pittsburgh, a full-time #freelance #tabletop #GameDesigner for a decade now.

Lots of #DnD work, some #IndieTTRPG, lots of #TTRPG generally. I do all the things except illustrate.

You may know me from #LevelUp5E, EN World (design columns!), EN5ider (I'm the editor, it's a great #DnD5E periodical of 500+ issues), Storytelling Collective (I teach a course), or my 6 campaign settings.
