Good afternoon followers! The #IamPOCinPlay tweetathon is back. It's like a marathon but you recieve energy the longer it runs! This is a visibility drive for POC in games so tell us about yourself and your work. All fields in games welcome, not just dev. Remember the hashtag!
We totally recommend Leon. We have reached out to better inform ourselves. Leon is eloquent and generous, fun and well worth chatting to and learning from!๐๐ผ๐๐

Hey #blackgamedevs and black #gamedev Twitter - no matter where you are in the world, please blow up my inbox. We want to help where we can. If there are so many of you that we canโt book in everyone, I will respond to you anyway with as much as I can help out. #BlackLivesMatter
We're all angry about George Floyd.
So, want to know what you can ACTUALLY do to help?
Where to donate? How to organise protests? How to stay safe around police? Where black people can find free therapy? What to read to educate yourself?
Here's how you can make a difference:
We're sorry to disappoint folks, but given the current situation across the UK, we're postponing the Guildford Games Festival & Guildford Games Awards this summer & are looking at new options for later this year. Until then, thanks everyone for your support so far & stay safe!
Our latest newsletter is out! Loads of great #gamedev events coming up around London and Guildford, plus a few interesting job roles https://t.co/BnCU7Lqko1
