Proud of Games at Northeastern GSND alumni Nabil Oueida, Srinivas Teja Bhattar and Kito, who've been pouring what they learned into their indie game "The Box is Alive".

@HanneyChris @AARP Match 3 games always do well. I'll have to check out Toon Blast.

[Bob De Schutter @bobdeschutter]

Funny to see people being surprised at @AARP being at #GDC23, but the reality is that the 50+ year-old market is enormous and eager to play your game. (Yes, that one.)

If that is news to you, you should attend the free AARP Game Summit on 4/18: https://t.co/oMZ1qSwUGB.

I am not paying to keep my verified status. If that means less spam bots adding me to their spam messages, then that is just the price I will have to pay.
