Some really valuable conversations today at the ‘Gaming for Good: the social impact of games’ panel as part of @ASFFest! Featuring discussions with @lukethehebble @Kid_Desimo @Duriavenator @betti_bodi and @MattCowardGibbs 👾🧡

@Kennstan That's fantastic! I got into employment as a game designer through studying for a degree but my first steps were really making (bad) games in Scratch as a kid! It's a great little tool and pretty easy to learn :)

A little late but if you wanna check out the microtalk I gave at GDC it's available for everyone to view here! I spoke a bit about my experiences being autistic & entering the games industry (my section starts around 26:30)

It was such an amazing opportunity to be able to speak at #GDC22 ! By far the best part was meeting so many people who genuinely care about accessibility & inclusion for neurodiverse people 🫶

[Alex Coulombe 🔜 SIGGRAPH @iBrews]

“Finding something difficult isn’t the same as being bad at it.” - @Duriavenator on feeling like a job listing claiming “Needs excellent communication skills” automatically excluded her from applying.

Also this 2nd slide is such a wonderful call to action for accessible hiring.

https://t.co/e9jUB4VM46 Couldn't figure out how to show this in a short vid. The generation game is a simple game generator & editor written in C# using Unity in about 10 weeks by me (a mere game designer, not a programmer) #gamedev #indiedev

@LeJamesIndustry this is 'just right' erasure, why must everything be a binary

Here is a closer look at Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin's new "dual-wielding" feature.

you could define gamer as 'anyone who's ever looked at a video game sideways' and i would still refuse to self-id as one
